Suddenly, on a walk in the woods, your body tells you it's time to, well, empty your bowels... With no bathroom close by, what do you do? Just follow these simple directions.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find a nice large tree or some thick vegetation for cover, and take off one of your socks.

  2. Step 2

    Find a rock, and dig a hole in the dirt with it.

  3. Step 3

    Do your business and wipe with the sock.

  4. Step 4

    Fill in the hole with dirt and place the rock on top of the pile.

Tips & Warnings
  • Instead of a sock take a roll of toilet paper with you wherever you go, or at least a big wad of TP for emergencies.
  • Don't squat near the entrance to a cave, or any other hole that looks as though it belongs to a wild critter.
