Book Description

August 1, 1997
We all know HOW TO SHIT IN THE WOODS—but do we dare? After reading this uproarious collection of "fecal misadventures" from a veteran river-rafting guide and yarn spinner extraordinaire, you may think twice before venturing out into the great beyond...or even down the hall to your nice safe water closet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Omigod omigod!, November 27, 2000
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Up Shit Creek: A Collection of Horrifyingly True Wilderness Toilet Misadventures (Paperback)
This is not a book to be read immediately before or immediately after a meal.

You will learn more about the logistics of removing human waste from wilderness areas than you probably cared to know.

You may find yourself screaming in horror as you hurl this book as far as the walls of the bathroom will let you.

You will laugh and in the process, you will learn something about whitewater rafting from the stories, the diagrams, and the glossary in the back.

This is a bathroom classic. Choose your time for reading it carefully!

5.0 out of 5 stars Horrifyingly, howlingly funny, April 14, 2004
By 
"lilolmom" (Mormon country, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Up Shit Creek: A Collection of Horrifyingly True Wilderness Toilet Misadventures (Paperback)
I first bought this book as a gag for some of the guys I work with as a river guide. I made the mistake of reading it first, and laughed so hard I cried on several of the stories. My daughters were awakened by my laughter and came to see what mom thought was so funny. We (myself and 2 daughters) shared the laughter for a little over an hour, and many times since. It is the most often asked for book at my house, and, it has gone, and will continue to go on river trips and camping trips with me. Some people gross out when the stories are read aloud, but nearly all will pick it up, read it, and laugh about it in private.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ever used a groover? This book's a scream; get it., July 26, 1999
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Up Shit Creek: A Collection of Horrifyingly True Wilderness Toilet Misadventures (Paperback)
It's not often I laugh out loud when into a book, but this one'll do it. As a professional raft-guide in Colorado and Utah, my "Library" is available to all on our trips, and this one is by far the most popular with the customers. If you've used a groover once or a hundred times, you'll laugh and be grossed-out too. River-runners, put this book in your box.
