Sound Approach to a Lost Art

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

I saw the movie Severed Ways where the technique was demonstrated.
Now read the book on how it is really done.

Do not make an ecological faux pas.
It is actually very detailed and helpful from the scouts to the military.

On the brighter side, it is a lot lighter than carrying a catalog.
It also makes a great coffee table book.

Humorous but extremely informational!

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

It is funny, but way more than that too! How to take of not only yourself but also the environment in which you are doing your business.

I bought this book as a gift for a friend. She had just been hired on to a wildland fire Hotshot crew out west and her biggest fear in life was popping outdoors. A hotshot lives outdoors all summer long, on the fire line for 14-16 days at a time. Being able to poop in the woulda would be a very necessary skill! I read it before I gave it to her and she has told me that not only did she read it and love it, but that she purchased copies for others.

I received this book many years ago as a gift and I bought this copy for someone I work with (we work outdoors a lot of the time). I absolutely love how informative it is, but she does not take herself too seriously. I highly recommend this for anyone who spends time outdoors (working, camping, etc).

Got this as a gag gift for my brother for christmas gift. All gags aside, it does have some interesting information in the book. Would be very good for someone going camping, or one who wishes to live off the land for awhile. Life before indoor plumbing.... so weird....

Good humor and an actual lesson about the most basic part of living. Important for horseback trial riders, campers and bird watchers. Just some basic lessons that modern man has forgotten.

THE ART OF LEADING FROM THE REAR

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2011

Verified Purchase

In 'Tales From Djakatar' by Pramoedya a Ananta Toer, there is a conversation between a Houseboy and a Maid which goes "How simple life is. It's as simple as this: you're hungry and you eat, you're full and you shit. Between eating and shitting, that's where human life is found." Kathleen Meyer's book gives the first two stages of life a miss and concentrates solely on the last in the trinity of simple life stages namely defecating. More precisely how to rid the body of it's intake of food and liquids whilst in the great outdoors without causing an environmental 'tsunami' or debasing one's apparel or filling up one's boots to overflowing.

Whilst the toilet humour aspect of the book might well have made a major contribution to it becoming "The International Best-Seller With Over 1 Million Copies Sold", the book is not merely a comedic escapade into outdoor toilets. It is a very conservation orientated work of helpful hints for causing the absolute minimum impact on our fragile environment in pursuit of the ultimate and possibly overwhelmingly pressing objective of bowel and bladder relief. Interwoven into the narration and advice is the most comprehensive collection of information possibly to be found on the subject of crap, as well as a veritable treasure trove of useful gadgets, and the 'bottom' line facts about the effects of excrement on the land and water.

This book when left prominently on your coffee table will soon cause either great hilarity or acute embarrassment among your guests, far more than the latest copy of 'Harry Potter' or similar, but either way it will solicit a reaction, that should lead to a fruitful and enlightening conversation on this most fundamental of all human bodily needs.

Its amusing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2013

Verified Purchase

I couldn't finish this book because I was backpacking in the Lake District and ran out of toilet paper. So I missed the last 20 pages or so.............

Ok, that's a lie. It's a good read. I suppose some things are pretty obvious in it (I hope anyway, or the world is in trouble). I got the updated edition and I think my wife and daughters were more interested in how as a girl you keep your boots dry at those important moments.

Personally I was hoping for this to be printed on 162 sheets of triple-quilted, ultra-soft paper. Unfortunately this was not the case, as a result it was quite a rough wipe, however, it still did the job.
