Taking a dump - extract from book

Something interesting to note is that the poo you pack out is significantly lighter than the food you pack in - most of the mass of your food is exhaled as carbon dioxide 

I keep a portable bidet permanently in my crag bag. chuck in 300-500mL of water, dig 6-inch hole, use one wet wipe to check (99.9% of the time the bidet leaves you sparkly clean), pack out single used wet wipe.

Yes I am a clean freak

Yes I eat way too much fibre and need to shit at the crag far too often

Always have 1 or 2 of these in the essentials bag. They stay compressed and about the size of a life-saver candy until you get them wet.  Expand enough to get like 3 or 4 smaller wipes.  Absolute must for over-nighters and longer.

Also very useful for before and after the... taking a hump? activities some teams of 2 might engage in.

Dirtbags are having sex now??

Strategically timed Imodium for alpine climbs, to both firm everything up (you’re likely eating dehy meals) and consolidate to one event through the day can work quite well.

Portable bidet recs? Used to using one at home and wiping w/ excessive toilet paper while flies are buzzing around my ass feels like savagery now.

My partner has used the Boss Bidet Traveler for a number of years and it works well. We installed an indoor bidet during Covid and have never looked back. Best thing ever! Using only toilet paper seems unhygenic in retrospect. It’s amazing that more people in N America don’t use bidets, but you don’t know what you don’t know.

When I lived in the Middle East for a year (Kuwait) and visited places like Saudi Arabia and Oman, I found it fascinating how obsessed people seemed to be with going to the toilet (partly because it's coded within Islam, but also just culturally). People would go on about the toilets all the time, like "I went to x restaurant, and the toilets were amazing". The idea of wiping your arse with toilet paper and not cleaning yourself would be viewed as disgusting and primitive, which it probably is. The Boss Bidet looks really interesting.
