I did it!!!! Part II of peeing outside…

So I did it! I peed outside, in the woods, behind a tree. For some of you, you know this was a great accomplishment for me. A: I have never peed outside while camping before, B: I don’t know how to squat… Thanks to my wonderful friend Heidi who decided to take on the adventure as well as to not suffer any kidney damage… We, very carefully created the most amazing way to pee outside… I like to call it the hold and squat.

This technique takes great upper body strength as well as strong legs from both parties involved. So Heidi and I locked arms, looked the other way, and prayed to God that the other wouldn’t let go. After a few times, we had it down to perfection.

I might add that this experience was very humbling at that. At any moment, a fisher could walk around the corner and spot you. Or for that matter, walking back to camp from the middle of the forest where everyone knows the deed you just did. Nothing brought this to my attention more than Heidi’s son Tre’ ( 8 ) yelling at a girl walking out from behind a tree and yelling, “I know what you did! You were pooping!” Thankfully where I would have been mortified, the girl just laughed along with the boys.

So camping was fun, It poured down rain, we almost ran out of gas and firewood, I hit a log on the way home and dented my car, and froze my butt off. But the greatest lesson out of all of this that I learned was…

A real friend holds you when you pee! Love ya Heidi! Props to the first timers!!!
