Poop Alert

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

Check it out- he even describes the "back country bidet" technique....

That's a well done video.

I've switched over to the bidet method in the last couple of years. I still use tp as well, just a lot less. Can't always find appropriate leaves/sticks/stones/snow so I often use some tp to get started, then water, then a bit of tp to dry off. Probably gross people out but I don't carry soap or hand sanitizer. And I prefer to use my dominant hand. When someone offers to shake my hand in the backcountry I generally warn them off.
