We only bring you this HowTo because it was requested by one of our viewers. After getting the initial chuckle out of the request we got to thinking that this is one aspect of camping in the BWCACW that may not really get covered when explaining what to expect to a first time BWCAW camper. We tried to have a little fun while making this episode, I hope we don’t offend anyone and that you find the humor in our shooting techniques. Here’s HowTo use a latrine.

Well, what can I say….. I’m chuckling as I type this response. Enjoy the latest introduction. Nice change.
Keep those creative juices flowing!

I like the way the camera (eyes) pans around during the heavy thinking part. I believe the sites/latrines are numbered for a given lake or stretch of river. The next site downriver should have had a #2 on the latrine. I think there is also a numbering system in place for every campsite in the BW, but I haven’t figured out it’s geographical/number relationship yet.

@Phil Frost: Hi Phil, Thanks for taking the time to comment. We had some fun making this episode and were a bit hesitant in releasing it.
Thanks for the info on the numbering system. So if I understand you correctly each lake / stretch of river will have a latrine #1? I’ll see if I can get a hold of a wilderness ranger and get the scoop on how the campsites are numbered in the BW. If I do I’ll be sure to talk about it on a future episode or comment back in here. Thanks again for commenting.

Phil is correct about the latrine numbers. Also, you forgot the hand sanitizer! But you captured the best part: the view.

@Jean: Hi Jean, Thanks for commenting. We really enjoy hearing from those who watch our episodes. Thanks for confirming Phil’s information on the numbering systems on the latrines. We weren’t sure how that was set up. As for the hand sanitizer, you are correct.
I was thinking more about finishing up the episode and that step hadn’t really crossed my mind. I’ll be sure to add that in to a gear list when I do a “packing for a trip episode”. I hope your having a nice winter.

I gotta say I got a good laugh out of this one. All that you needed was a black bear to stroll up while you was in the thinking mode of filming to make things a little more interesting. It was great though!

@riverrat: Hi Riverratkat, I’m sure glad a bear didn’t walk up in the middle of that shot. You would have seen a hasty retreat.
Glad you enjoyed the episode.

I love the sideways lean and the looking around at the scenery. Classic!
This has got to be one of the best blog posts ever! Period.

@Christopher: Hi Chris,
This sure has been a popular episode!! I’ve seen more commentary on forums about this episode compared to all others combined. My wife was horrified that I posted it. People seem to get a kick out of it.
Thanks for watching.
