Er, yes, you can poop in the ocean. Like ten trillion fish. On most offshore sailboats, the toilets pumps straight into the ocean.

If a major earthquake originates far off shore, you may have a couple of hours to get to safety. Out on the sea, the tsunami waves can be hundreds of miles long but no taller than a few feet and travel at the speed of a jet plane, up to 500 miles per hour.

Pooping in the woods might feel like getting back to nature, but if done improperly it can pollute water sources and infect native fauna—not to mention ruin the natural beauty of a place. Giardia, salmonella, E. coli, and even hepatitis can be passed from humans to animals via discarded feces.

Natural TP Options

1. If you use toilet paper, pack it out whenever possible.
2. If you’re only peeing, consider wiping with a reusable pee cloth.
3. If you must bury toilet paper, use as small an amount as possible and be sure to dig deep enough, at least 6 to 8 inches.
4. Always pack out personal wipes and sanitary products.

Excavate before you evacuate! The organisms that will break down the fecal matter are located about six inches under the top layer of dirt. It’s that simple. Plus, some animals (like dogs off-leash) love to roll in human poop if it’s not buried.

Of course, outdoors in lakes, ponds, rivers, and the ocean, poop can get into the water even without someone actively pooping in it. For instance, stormwater runoff can flush human and animal feces into the water.

Answer: Yes… if you throw it at them… Deer aren’t spooked by you pooping out of a tower blind. They are, however, spooked when you fall out rearend first out of said tower blind with your pants around your ankles.

According to Live Science it’s normal to fart 15 to 20 times daily. That means if you’re a dedicated hunter who seemingly spends 95 percent of autumn in the woods, a slip and “let ‘er rip” is bound to happen. Therefore, deer are bound to smell your farts at some point. After all, their nose is far superior to ours.

Yes, deer are attracted to the odor of urine. Not just that from does in estrous, but also urine from other mammals – even you – in the fall. Biologists have told me that mammal urine is socially interesting to deer, and other mammals, but not distinguishable among species or even gender.

Unless the meat is tainted or spoiled, it all makes good hamburger or jerky. Beware of Old Does. I’ve heard some hunters claim that “does taste better than bucks.” That’s not inherently true. A mature doe that’s spent a summer nursing fawns is about the toughest, stringiest deer in the woods.
