Synopsis
This updated edition provides a guide to the art of "going" out-of-doors. It deals with the whens, wheres, how, and what-nows, with chapters such as "Anatomy of a crap" and "For women only: How not to pee in your boots". It includes information on how to take waste home, for rock climbers, kayakers and others dealing with rock-hard and fragile ecosystems, and is illustrated by black and white drawings.

Customer Reviews

Well written and entertaining.
Whilst I don't get caught short too often, I now feel equiped to go about it in a environmentally sound way. The author is based in America so some of the information about eqiupment and local plants is not useful. Other than that its a good read witty and informative.

Lacking
I found this book a frustrating read -- it lacks a good flow of useful information but is intsead punctuated with anecdotes and detours throughout.

For such a no-nonsense title I would have expected no-nonsense content, but instead it only left my questions unanswered. Indeed, I doubt if the question posed by the title is adequately answered anywhere in the book.

If you're looking for useful information on camping practices I suggest you go elsewhere.

A good read
On first reading this book comes across as dreadfully worthy and politically correct, however there is a sense of humour and a great deal of good, practical information. Definitely worth a read.
