Is that the Dankness in those photos?!!
Yes it is, my friend.
Yes. I heartily second this post.
I can’t watch any of my dude friends take a piss without wondering what they’re going to be touching over the rest of the day. Ew. How come you guys don’t just use a wipe or some hand sanitizer after?
A little bottle of hand sanitizer is a great non-verbal signal of safety for all. Other than that, EWWWW!
If your intent is to ensure you maintain maximum control over your own stash of trail mix simply modify steps #4 and #5 to the following:
STEP 4: “MY balls* are now in MY trail mix”
STEP 5: “If YOU want more trail mix, YOU now have to eat MY balls* with it”
Awesome.
[...] Here’s a funny reminder about the importance of hygiene on outdoor expeditions from semi-rad.com. The advice is comical in delivery but very pertinent. It doesn’t take too long for a bout of gastro to whip through an expeditioning group. Protocols such as hand washing, dishwashing and proper toileting procedures are a necessary part of the learning. It is often one of the topics covered first up in a camping program due to its importance. I know there are a few differing techniques out there on how to manage a groups sanitation, i have often gone with the good old fashioned cat hole. While not a glamour subject for discussion i think i could improve my breadth of practices in this area, but how would one go about it?
