Pinecones? I've used a business card. Could've used more traction. Broad leaves, yes. When I am looking at the last ten seconds or so before the Big Event, I look for an old log or some nice shallow, big rocks. When the event is over, it's nice to know I scoped out the area and now I have some implements to bury the evidence. Lord, I hate seeing tp in the woods. Or Budlight cans(that'd be Coors, in CB country). I pick up after people. Well, not everything.
Y'ALLs Need To Get-Cha Some Toilet Paper Pellets!!! LOL Pinecones!? Butt There's Nothin Butt Oak Trees Around Here!!! Grab A Handfull Of Acorns & Roll Them Around??? LMAO...
I dont know why anyone would dislike this video. I am about to go camping and need all the advice from an experienced guide. I really appreciate your down to earth approach and honesty. Love it.
Seriously, thank you for covering this. I'm an inside kid that has been trying to get out and get happy and this simple topic really helps. Thank you so much! ♥️
I have watched dozens of outdoor camping videos. I've always wondered why I've never seen this subject covered before. Thanks for the candid and helpful video>>>
I loved that statement near the end...."you hear that....silence" I used to live in the Chippewa National Forest in northern MN on a forestry road. My best times were when I would go out to go to work at like 4am, especially after or during a new snow. It was so quiet, the only thing you could hear was your own heart beating. The best time of the day.
I'm from Iowa. My mom was born in Grand Rapids. Have family in Marcell. We've had 5 generations stay at Camp Deer in Effie. We go up there most summers. Heading there in June. Minnesota is my home away from home! - Carol
I so wish that I could experience true silence again. For the last 20 or so years, I’ve had tinnitus and there is a constant “hiss” 24/7. I do tune it out most of the time, but when I’m somewhere quiet, it can sound very loud and annoying. I still love being out in nature and enjoying the silence such as it is, though.
My nine year old daughter and I loved this video! "Poop log" is one of our new favorite terms! I guarantee our next foray into the local forest will involve searching out perfect candidates for "doing our business!"
As a girl who use to fish out of a boat a lot. I would use the bottom of the minnow bucket and wear a rain poncho. That allows you to do your business and the poncho covers everthing.
When we were deep sea fishing down off of Cabo my buddies wife had to go. It was the big galvanized trash can. We all looked aside. She started and it sounded like a rain shower. Her husband began to talk very loudly, as I recall, about the weather but it was pretty funny. It's a wonder women camp at all.
Jeff Nielsen why would peeing in a tin can cause a woman to not go camp and or go fishing? So guys don’t make a loud noise when they pee? As I recall they do imo, so maybe guys wouldn’t want to go camping and or fishing? And good for her to go with her man, showing him that she loves him by doing the things he loves.
I have a granddaughter that absolutely will not pee in the woods. Maybe she would find this product doable. Got to hand it to you for being brave enough to share a subject the everyone does but not too many how to's out there for the novice. You also let the whole world know that you can write in cursive. :)
I live in Canada, and well all of your videos have proven to be ultimately informative and extremely helpful as I'm setting up off the grid on the east coast in Nova Scotia I can't thank you enough! Girl power 💪
Thank you for bringing this subject up. Alot of females do not know this. These devices are used in the military . A military veteran told me about this & I thank her & thank you. There are different styles ..Check it out ladies. 👍👍😨
My girls and I are just getting into wilderness camping, this video is extremely helpful information presented clearly and with some humor, perfect to give them an idea what to do when they doo doo in the woods! 👍
Brooke!!! I bought a pee style because of this video. It’s perfect. I’ve tried other devices that were epic fail. And through Covid I got jealous of my husband who had, shall we say, more urinary freedom. Now I do too! Thank you!
Hi sweetheart, I don't normally comment but I've been binge watching your videos for the last week. I absolutely love you and your family 💜 it's so nice to find someone who loves everything!!! I'm givin a hard time for being such a loving person and loving life it self. it's so nice to see that I have a sister out there 👏👏👏 Sending much love and good vibes
You are fast becoming my new favorite TH-cam video. I love watching you. You inspire me tremendously. I love being outside but you’ve made me want to even do it by myself. ❤️
Funny story Brooke! I went backpacking for first time last fall. Tried the pooping log technique! I did not however make sure ahead of time that the log was stable! I ended up flipping over on my back with pants around my ankles! Oh my! Luckily I had not yet done my business!!
recommend practicing with the PStyle in the shower first. Also the packaging has tips on how to eliminate the need for tp! Cannot wait to try your SMOOTH ROCK idea. That one is a little hard to believe!
Absolutely love your videos. I'm not a female but I have found leaning against a tree helps me "do (poo) my business" when needed. I ordered your female peeing helper for my daughter who loves the outdoors after watching this. Yes, I have fun writing (and underlining) my name in the snow also, LOL. Thanks again.
pooing log works but i have another method. squat holding onto a narrow small tree that stands vertically. pulling onto the tree helps u push that poo out. it keeps u off the ground and ur not sitting on a frozen log. im a 64 yr old toimboy.. trust me it works.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I'm going camping for the first time ever and I was kinda intimidated on how to go about it. This makes me feel a little better :)
I've used the P-Style and they work great. I'm 63 with bad knees and can no longer squat. I'm really happy to see how to poo on a log, pooing was the only issue I have with remote camping.
The Pstyle is useful for those of us older ladies who have injuries that make it hard to squat at all. Like some men I just used to lean back against a tree to poo. There used to be a company that made paper cones for this, but I can't find them anymore and then you had to throw the paper away. Having a plastic one you can reuse is brilliant.
Gawd you crack me up. I’m sitting here with my dog and I just snorted! Thank you for your videos, you are so upbeat and talented with your builds and decorating. Love the videos, keep’em coming. I’m new to your channel. God Bless!
Growing up in the mountains, us kids liked to go hiking and exploring. So naturally, someone would need to pee or poi. We used sticks to dig a hole and squatted, did our business. Used leaves to wipe. Buried it all with the stick. Good to go!!!!
Shared with the girls. Thanks. When we paddle Wild & Scenic Missouri here in Montana wag bags and biffy are required to show at the launch site. And we all know where the best poop logs are.
It's great that you are going over this because it really is hard for me to poo in the woods (not so much to pee). It's my least favorite part about backpacking, but I love backpacking!
Decades ago, I was at a keg party in the woods with my ex before we were married, and I had to pee. He was a boyscout, but I was a city girl. He walked me away from the crowd, picked me a few maple leaves along the way, and explained how to pull my pants down and lean my back against a tree as I squatted down on my haunches. He said to make sure I aimed so as not to pee on my shoes. Dutifully, probably because I loved him, was having fun, and really had to go...I complied. I walked a few feet further into the woods, found a tree, and assumed the position. I relaxed my bladder as I looked between my knees to insure my aim was true...only to see a snake slither out from behind the tree less than an inch away from a golden shower. Decades of kegals later, I don't think I've ever been able to stop a stream of pee, pull up my pants, and run away as quickly. Sufficiently traumatized by this experience, he brought me to the McDonald's down the road, and placated me with a chocolate milkshake. It took some doing, but I eventually overcame the phobia of going outside, but I always check for snakes first!
Best story I've heard in a long time! I would of been horrified but haven't ever mastered the art of being able to just stop. I'd probably pee all over my shoes, socks & pants! Lol!
At 75 years old I thought I had heard it all! But you have taught me that I have not heard it all and you are so much fun, so relaxing and life is so beautiful. 😁
The McDonald's alone. Comforting. Thats nothing i was being dropped off in front of the hospital for surgery and there was a snake in the shrubs! Surgery went well im here to tell the story.
I'm amazed at all the women that have never peed in the woods so this is a topic that I want to thank you for and you did an excellent job on covering everything. Another tip I found is not peeing on a flat level area. That can lead to the bottoms of your pants getting wet from the puddle you make. I always face downhill, it doesn't need to be very steep, so the pee runs away from me. I thank the lady that earlier said to use the walking stick to help you get back up from a squat. Now that I'm older, that would help a lot. Just very recently found you and have enjoyed watching a few videos. Thanks and take care.
OMG!! I never would have thought about using a rock, but it makes sense! You are the bomb!!! Love your posts, so glad I found your channel. Keep up the honesty young lady...you are the best!
One thing you forgot to mention; when pooping in the woods do it "down wind" from camp. I am a fan of the cat hole. And "if it's safe" I like to burn the TP before burying it. I always buy biodegradable "Septic Tank Safe" TP. In snow or rain I don't like sitting on a pooping log, but like to make a cat hole next to the log, so I can put my hand on the log to steady myself. The last time I "wrote my name" (it was on pavement, not snow) I was 15 years old. My buddy and I were "joy riding" in his moms car, neither of us had a driver's license. We had parked on a street with no houses, got out and "wrote our names". Then a cop pulled up. It was impossible to deny I had done it when it literally spelled my name. We lived in a small town and the cops were pretty lenient, he put us in the back of his squad car and took us back to his mom's house, then gave her a ride to pick up her car. No charges filed. The real punishment came when she got back home. She was a former Marine drill instructor... she grabbed both of us by an ear and "dragged" us around the house while surprisingly calmly explaining to us what idiots we were. I never again "wrote my name", though I have been known to draw a smiley face :>
@@DFDuck55 The smooth rock is great except when it's 10° fahrenheit, otherwise you end up with a rock frozen to your boohinde. On the up side, ice cold stones may be good for roids.
I have the P-Style, it's a total game changer! You do not have to worry about finding a bathroom when you are outdoors. Don't even need TP, just scrap it against your lady parts as you pull it back out and it catches any drips. I then just rinse it with water, I always have a bottle of water with me, and put it back in the little zippered bag I bought for it.
Horse back riding and needing to pee. I find a small tree or a branch that I latch onto. This allows a wider stance and and better lean back so you don’t pee your clothes. Great video.
Les Stroud says if you're using leaves for TP, 1st test the leaves in the area by rubbing a sample of each kind on a different spot on your arm. Wait 1/2 an hour, if any of them start to rash or itch or burn, those are the ones you don't use.
THAT PEE TROUGH-VENUS TO MARS- IS THE BEST ITEM EVER! It TOTALLY WORKS EVERYTIME & YOU BARELY IF AT ALL NEED T PAPER! Now with the shortage of paper-I use it every time I go and all you really need is to rinse it off ans maybe use a little paper OR paper or hand towel to dry-the plastic is the type that doesnt hold water so it all runs off! INCREDIBLE DEVICE!! Thank you SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS! Have read other ones are too flimsy and dont work-this one DOES! ♥️
Backing up to a tree helps with support and keeps you from exposing your shiny hiny to the world... My go to method just make sure there isn't poison ivy or oak growing on the tree same goes for crawling critters... Enjoyed the video and got a good laugh...😀
I didn't know about the PStyle product for women to use the bathroom in the forest, and that is a great idea and many women would love to have that in their backpack, or purse if they need it.
I am laughing my butt off right now!!! I can't even believe you covered this subject Brooke. Too flippin' funny. 😂 But seriously I guess it was necessary. LoL. And I suppose there are maybe those who need to know this stuff. I'm still laughing. Myself, I DO NOT like to go in the woods at all and pinecones wouldn't work for me to wipe my bum, I have issues that would make it so not good. They would just be too scratchy. You are such a trooper and a true pioneer girl!!!! But anyway, thanks for the fun video. LoL...still laughing...good one! She gone!!!
Pooping logs!! Never thought of it, thanks for the hack! Also the Pstyle seems kinda fun lol but poppin a squat is so so easy once you get the hang of it ;)
I thought sure you would show my favorite trick - whether peeing or pooing - I get a good grip with both hands on a tree right in front of me with the squat. It just feels very stabilizing and I can push out farther away from my shoes and pants. Might take a couple of tries to get comfortable with it. I try to remember to dig a hole before the pooing. Great video.
This has to be the most informative and practical wilderness video I’ve seen, it applies to everyone not just you ladies. I canoed down the ardeche river in France a few years ago and wads horrified at the little piles of poo and toilet paper beside bushes and trees. The toilet paper was the biggest issue in such a beautiful area.
Hi Brooke. I like your "poo log" idea. In another one of your videos you mentioned the pStyle. I ordered it thru your Amazon link. Love it. There have been times we're traveling and nature calls in between potty stops. The pStyle is perfect. Thanks!
Lol ... girl you so crazy! Being a hiker and an outdoors girl all my life, I just never gave it a thought that someone might not know this. Very informative .... and entertaining! :D
Awesome! Going to get one. Not out in the woods very often, but this is awesome. Have been bitten on the butt by mosquitoes in that position too! So between 'going' in the woods during a hike, or just not wanting to sit on a public toilet seat, this sounds great. This is the first piece of peeing equipment that ever sounded easy and so portable. Thanks for a great video! P.S. also like your poo log idea.
Another awesome observation, my friend! "If you're out peeing in the woods, you're probably having a pretty good day!" And when you get home, you can tell Dave "She 'went'!" (LOL)
This was funny and VERY informative Brooke to those who have never had to "use the good ole outdoors"...here in Alaska I've had to do this many times! LOL! :)
You are such a joy to watch I love your whole family 2 and 4 legged. I look forward to seeing them each day. keep loving your life it's very obvious all of you do. just an old gal from Alabama
Thank you for sharing, these are good tips! Only what to do when its that “time” off the month and its earlier than expected😳how to take care off that 😳
They do recommend packing out TP, not leaving it behind (covered, buried etc.) and digging a hole at least 6" deep for solids (then bury it). Love the idea of a pooping log!! Just take good aim into that 6" hole you've dug. 😉
I love your video because you weren't awkward about the topic. I watched another video before yours, and the lady was so shy about it that she kept stumbling on what to say and she took FOREVER to explain her procedure. I don't have time for that! Get to the point and keep it moving! Your video was great, and I just subscribed!
Due to my knee problems I can't squat anymore. I lean with my back at a standing tree, knees bent 90 degrees as if sitting on a chair. So far it worked !
Lol I pee on my shoes every time damnit all lol. Yep logs are nature’s best thing only in winter summer you better make sure no spiders or bugs. Take a spade bury it
Ha I’ve never heard of a pooping log. Maybe it’s the army training but even in the middle of nowhere, I never surface poop. I always dig a small hole, normally by just kicking my heel in the dirt. Do my biz and then cover it up. I also stopped using TP, switched to biodegradable wipes. Another note, you can use a rifle, walking stick or e-tool to stabilize yourself while doing #2. Also also when you see guys with no sleeves on their shirts, you know what they used their sleeves for. Loved the video. I guess cuz I pooped a lot in the woods. And now when I pee off the porch I’m going to start yelling “FREEDOM”!
Hi Girl in the Woods, try a pooping tree. This way you can poo and pee at the same time. Any tree without a lot of branches on the lower end. Pull all down to your knees, squawt with your back up against the tree with your feet out in front a foot and a half or two. There you can poo and pee at the same time. Keep up the good stuff Girl in the Woods, I'll keep watching.
Lol! I always get old video suggestions on the side of my page, and tonight I was blessed with this gem!! 🤣 I like how you just tell it like it is..haha 👍😁🤟🤷♀️
Ok so i never figured id watch something like this but i did very interesting when you said to sit on the log my better half leans against a tree or a down log to go #2
Awesome favorite video! Have used the “bathroom” many many times in the woods. So how much pee does the pee device hold? If you’re hydrating and have a lot of fluid-that might be a prob! -thanks for all the advice and information! Its great.
I love to get outside & get happy. So thank you for the pooping log. I never thought of that. We always took bucket with toilet seat. Just put in bag. Easier for my sister & some of the little girls. Great video.
There's an adage that men and now women using the P-style might find applicable. "No matter how much you shake and dance, The last few drops get on your pants." I.P. Daley

OH- and i forgot to mention that pinecones make great TP too.... not joking!

Y'ALLs Need To Get-Cha Some Toilet Paper Pellets!!! LOL Pinecones!? Butt There's Nothin Butt Oak Trees Around Here!!! Grab A Handfull Of Acorns & Roll Them Around??? LMAO...
Pine cones? Oh Lordy! Sounds rough!!!
My pee goes everywhere when I’m not on the toilet- it’s like uncontrollable! So I’d have to strip down on the bottom.
Nettle leaves make great toilet paper also.
I dont know why anyone would dislike this video. I am about to go camping and need all the advice from an experienced guide. I really appreciate your down to earth approach and honesty. Love it.

You are so awesome to be brave enough to talk about this!
“If you’re out in the woods peeing...you’re having a pretty good day.” 😄
That should be in needlepoint! 😂👍🏼
How??
Make sure you hold your wee in before if you comes out
I'm so glad you addressed this. It's always been one of my fears and many I've enjoyed the outdoors with

As A Guy That Owned The Boat That We Fished Outta Alot & I Had To Hold The Piss Pot For All The Women... How Degrading!!!
This was super helpful! Just pulled up to our trailhead and I realized it's been a long time since I did a 3 night camp 😂 thank you for making this!
Thanks girl you never ceases to amaze me! You covered a subject I can bet alot of gals wanted to know but didn't know how to ask!!! Thanks!!! ❤️🤗🙄
That peeing device for women is brilliant. That is SO liberating!!! I'm getting one!!!
I have a granddaughter that absolutely will not pee in the woods. Maybe she would find this product doable. Got to hand it to you for being brave enough to share a subject the everyone does but not too many how to's out there for the novice.

I bought one because of this video. I’ve tried others that are useless. This one is amazing. I use it for questionable toilets as well.
I want to have a beer with this lady. She is REALLY down to earth.
And to bring the discussion full circle, the beer will make you need to pee so ... 😂
@@davidh.4649 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite video so far ♥️♥️ Just loved and appreciated the honesty. If only the majority of society had it as well.
As a guy, I’ve often wondered how women peed and pooed in the woods! By the way, I use a poo log as well....I’m just careful how I sit down.
Oh my gosh I freaking LOVE this chick!! She's smart and so funny and cute!
I live in Canada, and well all of your videos have proven to be ultimately informative and extremely helpful as I'm setting up off the grid on the east coast in Nova Scotia

Funny story Brooke! I went backpacking for first time last fall. Tried the pooping log technique! I did not however make sure ahead of time that the log was stable! I ended up flipping over on my back with pants around my ankles! Oh my! Luckily I had not yet done my business!!
bah!
Lesson learned, I assume?
Pooping log and writing your name 😂😂😂😂 your awesome 😎 I needed a good laugh 🤣🤣
Everyone has to but 😆😂
recommend practicing with the PStyle in the shower first. Also the packaging has tips on how to eliminate the need for tp! Cannot wait to try your SMOOTH ROCK idea. That one is a little hard to believe!
Wish I had seen this before I did years of camping with our Boy Scout Troop!
That coat is so nice on you, it's your color👍😊
After fifty years old, you lose your hovering skills. Pee goes everywhere.... 🤣🤣🤣 True story. 💦💦💦💦💦
lol
id need a pee gadget twice that size lol
Buckets make a great toilet for pee you can sit on the rim it will support your weight, you can burn the paper
You can also grab on to a small tree to help squat and stand back up.
yep. i hang over a log lol
Absolutely love your videos. I'm not a female but I have found leaning against a tree helps me "do (poo) my business" when needed.

Also we should never do our business near water, supposed to be 50 feet from any body of water. Love the tree hugging method!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I'm going camping for the first time ever and I was kinda intimidated on how to go about it. This makes me feel a little better :)
I'm going on my first camping trip ever in 3 weeks and this is one of the things that has scared me the most! This is so helpful!!! Thank you!!!
Good luck!
Girl in the Woods thank you!!!!!
I can’t believe I’m still watching this and eating poopcorn...I mean popcorn 🍿
You guys comments really make my day - make me laugh! Thanks for all the sharing - your thoughts and ideas!
Makes you want to take a dump
Lol
Makes me want popcorn. Thanks for reminding me I have some. Later

There used to be a company that made paper cones for this, but I can't find them anymore and then you had to throw the paper away. Having a plastic one you can reuse is brilliant.
I'm impressed! I cannot even squat over a toilet without weeing on myself let alone squat to pee. LOL

Such a practical way to learn about tricks on how to “pee and poo” in the woods with a hilarious twist
... brilliant video.. I've shared it with my wife who's at work.. fantastic wild camping solutions!! 😆😊👏🏾👏🏾❣
It needs to be talked about. Great info.
Finally someone who adresses this natural fact.
Thanks & have a nice, peacefull Christmas.

I'm amazed at all the women that have never peed in the woods so this is a topic that I want to thank you for and you did an excellent job on covering everything. Another tip I found is not peeing on a flat level area. That can lead to the bottoms of your pants getting wet from the puddle you make. I always face downhill, it doesn't need to be very steep, so the pee runs away from me. I thank the lady that earlier said to use the walking stick to help you get back up from a squat. Now that I'm older, that would help a lot. Just very recently found you and have enjoyed watching a few videos. Thanks and take care.
Watch out for ticks... remember you're at your most vulnerable with trousers down.
Lol!!!🤣😂🤣😂
lol
Mosquitoes too!
Or poison ivy😵
OMG!! I never would have thought about using a rock, but it makes sense! You are the bomb!!! Love your posts, so glad I found your channel. Keep up the honesty young lady...you are the best!
One thing you forgot to mention; when pooping in the woods do it "down wind" from camp. I am a fan of the cat hole. And "if it's safe" I like to burn the TP before burying it. I always buy biodegradable "Septic Tank Safe" TP. In snow or rain I don't like sitting on a pooping log, but like to make a cat hole next to the log, so I can put my hand on the log to steady myself.
The last time I "wrote my name" (it was on pavement, not snow) I was 15 years old. My buddy and I were "joy riding" in his moms car, neither of us had a driver's license. We had parked on a street with no houses, got out and "wrote our names". Then a cop pulled up. It was impossible to deny I had done it when it literally spelled my name. We lived in a small town and the cops were pretty lenient, he put us in the back of his squad car and took us back to his mom's house, then gave her a ride to pick up her car. No charges filed. The real punishment came when she got back home. She was a former Marine drill instructor... she grabbed both of us by an ear and "dragged" us around the house while surprisingly calmly explaining to us what idiots we were. I never again "wrote my name", though I have been known to draw a smiley face :>
I was going to suggest smooth stones, then you did. A smooth river or creek stone is always my preference over leaves or sticks.
@@DFDuck55 The smooth rock is great except when it's 10° fahrenheit, otherwise you end up with a rock frozen to your boohinde. On the up side, ice cold stones may be good for roids.
LOL great story Duck!
Moral of this story:
Be as discrete as possible when breaking the law, just like Comey and Obama and Co.
😆 nice
I have the P-Style, it's a total game changer! You do not have to worry about finding a bathroom when you are outdoors. Don't even need TP, just scrap it against your lady parts as you pull it back out and it catches any drips. I then just rinse it with water, I always have a bottle of water with me, and put it back in the little zippered bag I bought for it.
YES, WRITING YOUR NAME IN THE SNOW WHILE PEEING IS REALLY A SPIRITUAL EVENT.
Yep 🧐🤙👏👏
Horse back riding and needing to pee. I find a small tree or a branch that I latch onto. This allows a wider stance and and better lean back so you don’t pee your clothes. Great video.
Damn the red bugs. You talk about some stuff most woman wouldn't. Love it
Les Stroud says if you're using leaves for TP, 1st test the leaves in the area by rubbing a sample of each kind on a different spot on your arm. Wait 1/2 an hour, if any of them start to rash or itch or burn, those are the ones you don't use.
That's great if you have a half hour to wait. Most people don't think about using the bathroom till they have to go.
THAT PEE TROUGH-VENUS TO MARS- IS THE BEST ITEM EVER! It TOTALLY WORKS EVERYTIME & YOU BARELY IF AT ALL NEED T PAPER! Now with the shortage of paper-I use it every time I go and all you really need is to rinse it off ans maybe use a little paper OR paper or hand towel to dry-the plastic is the type that doesnt hold water so it all runs off! INCREDIBLE DEVICE!! Thank you SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS! Have read other ones are too flimsy and dont work-this one DOES! ♥️
Backing up to a tree helps with support and keeps you from exposing your shiny hiny to the world... My go to method just make sure there isn't poison ivy or oak growing on the tree same goes for crawling critters... Enjoyed the video and got a good laugh...😀
yess that's important
Ubette 2012 : Thanks for the info and hearty laugh!!!
My luck l would back myself into a big, hairy, Poison ivy vine!!!
I didn't know about the PStyle product for women to use the bathroom in the forest, and that is a great idea and many women would love to have that in their backpack, or purse if they need it.
Hi, you ve made suggestions i never heard before. You re the true campette :) thx, keep videoing :)
thanks!
I am laughing my butt off right now!!! I can't even believe you covered this subject Brooke. Too flippin' funny. 😂 But seriously I guess it was necessary. LoL. And I suppose there are maybe those who need to know this stuff. I'm still laughing. Myself, I DO NOT like to go in the woods at all and pinecones wouldn't work for me to wipe my bum, I have issues that would make it so not good. They would just be too scratchy. You are such a trooper and a true pioneer girl!!!! But anyway, thanks for the fun video. LoL...still laughing...good one! She gone!!!
Pooping logs!! Never thought of it, thanks for the hack! Also the Pstyle seems kinda fun lol but poppin a squat is so so easy once you get the hang of it ;)
I love this video!! I've camped outdoors all my life, but so many people haven't. KUDOS to you for mentioning this!!
Man... I need me one of those pee troughs. Little Willy gets hard to find out in the woods when it gets around zero degrees. 😎
They have better ones on Amazon, they are a better design.
Little willy,willy wont go home.And I cant find willy.That song is funny
That was very funny, thank you. I love your sense of fun and sense of humour. You made me laugh al the way from Africa.
I can't squat. This would save me! And thank you for sharing this! Nobody ever does. And it's a practicality one needs to learn!
I thought sure you would show my favorite trick - whether peeing or pooing - I get a good grip with both hands on a tree right in front of me with the squat. It just feels very stabilizing and I can push out farther away from my shoes and pants. Might take a couple of tries to get comfortable with it. I try to remember to dig a hole before the pooing. Great video.
LOVE the pooping log idea, but to wipe I'd use snow, if available, followed by air dry. 😄
This has to be the most informative and practical wilderness video I’ve seen, it applies to everyone not just you ladies. I canoed down the ardeche river in France a few years ago and wads horrified at the little piles of poo and toilet paper beside bushes and trees. The toilet paper was the biggest issue in such a beautiful area.
Amazing Girllllll....you teaching People....Miss " Tender Face ".... Remember that I name you first from nobody !!!! hahahaha
Hi Brooke. I like your "poo log" idea. In another one of your videos you mentioned the pStyle. I ordered it thru your Amazon link. Love it. There have been times we're traveling and nature calls in between potty stops. The pStyle is perfect. Thanks!
Lol ... girl you so crazy! Being a hiker and an outdoors girl all my life, I just never gave it a thought that someone might not know this. Very informative .... and entertaining! :D
I know but it's true- some girls don't know!
Awesome! Going to get one. Not out in the woods very often, but this is awesome. Have been bitten on the butt by mosquitoes in that position too! So between 'going' in the woods during a hike, or just not wanting to sit on a public toilet seat, this sounds great. This is the first piece of peeing equipment that ever sounded easy and so portable. Thanks for a great video! P.S. also like your poo log idea.
Thanks Brooke! Big help. May legs are not strong enough any more so this really helps. 😉
Another awesome observation, my friend! "If you're out peeing in the woods, you're probably having a pretty good day!" And when you get home, you can tell Dave "She 'went'!" (LOL)
LOL that's perfect!
"pooping logs are awesome!!" -Brooke Whipple..... I've heard a lot of quotes this year.... This is easily the best one... YES!! 🤡
LOL you know it! haha try it
This was funny and VERY informative Brooke to those who have never had to "use the good ole outdoors"...here in Alaska I've had to do this many times! LOL! :)
You are so funny. This is a great video and feel like you handle it with fantastic dignity. Take care.
You are such a joy to watch I love your whole family 2 and 4 legged. I look forward to seeing them each day. keep loving your life it's very obvious all of you do.
just an old gal from Alabama
Thank you for sharing, these are good tips! Only what to do when its that “time” off the month and its earlier than expected😳how to take care off that 😳
They do recommend packing out TP, not leaving it behind (covered, buried etc.) and digging a hole at least 6" deep for solids (then bury it). Love the idea of a pooping log!! Just take good aim into that 6" hole you've dug. 😉
Wow! Worked construction all my life along side the guys and no facilities. Going to order several! Thank you!
I love your video because you weren't awkward about the topic. I watched another video before yours, and the lady was so shy about it that she kept stumbling on what to say and she took FOREVER to explain her procedure. I don't have time for that! Get to the point and keep it moving! Your video was great, and I just subscribed!
Due to my knee problems I can't squat anymore.
I lean with my back at a standing tree, knees bent 90 degrees as if sitting on a chair. So far it worked !
The title caught my eye. You are so genuine and adorable!! Thx for being you:-)
Lol I pee on my shoes every time damnit all lol. Yep logs are nature’s best thing only in winter summer you better make sure no spiders or bugs. Take a spade bury it
I do too!!! That and my pants. So embarrassing and what a mess!! Yikes.
Ha I’ve never heard of a pooping log. Maybe it’s the army training but even in the middle of nowhere, I never surface poop. I always dig a small hole, normally by just kicking my heel in the dirt. Do my biz and then cover it up.
I also stopped using TP, switched to biodegradable wipes.
Another note, you can use a rifle, walking stick or e-tool to stabilize yourself while doing #2.
Also also when you see guys with no sleeves on their shirts, you know what they used their sleeves for.
Loved the video. I guess cuz I pooped a lot in the woods. And now when I pee off the porch I’m going to start yelling “FREEDOM”!
LOL that's awesome!
Caution! before you go to cut dead logs for fire,make sure are poop free,thank me later. Love your channel hugs to all.
Hi Girl in the Woods, try a pooping tree. This way you can poo and pee at the same time. Any tree without a lot of branches on the lower end. Pull all down to your knees, squawt with your back up against the tree with your feet out in front a foot and a half or two. There you can poo and pee at the same time. Keep up the good stuff Girl in the Woods, I'll keep watching.
Great info. for us ladies and done modestly.
Thank you.
Lol! I always get old video suggestions on the side of my page, and tonight I was blessed with this gem!! 🤣 I like how you just tell it like it is..haha 👍😁🤟🤷♀️
hahaha
Ok so i never figured id watch something like this but i did very interesting when you said to sit on the log my better half leans against a tree or a down log to go #2
This was the best information I have heard in a long time! Thank you!
Awesome favorite video! Have used the “bathroom” many many times in the woods. So how much pee does the pee device hold? If you’re hydrating and have a lot of fluid-that might be a prob! -thanks for all the advice and information! Its great.
no no no its just a funnel to divert pee away from you.... doesn't hold any!
I love to get outside & get happy. So thank you for the pooping log. I never thought of that. We always took bucket with toilet seat. Just put in bag. Easier for my sister & some of the little girls. Great video.
There's an adage that men and now women using the P-style might find applicable.
"No matter how much you shake and dance,
The last few drops get on your pants."

Hahaha! I didn’t know you were here too Fred!
@@logicaredux5205 HAAAA, Whoooaaaa Buddy! Here I are. 👍
Fred Thorne - I kept thinking in the back of my mind whether Sigmund Freud would think this video proved anything. 😙
@@logicaredux5205 hahahaha! It would be highly entertaining to read his take on this. :-D
