E11: Pits and bits

On today’s episode of Catch Me Outside, another winner for crassness and potty humour, I sit down with my backpacking friends Nicole Dubeta - who has thru-hiked the PCT and the GDT — and Erica Stern, who practically lives in the Ontario backcountry. 

Together, we get to the bottom of bodily functions in the backcountry. 

Specifically, we cover:

• What goes in a hygiene kit 
• Poop and pee best practices, especially for those of us with internal plumbing 
• Our favourite tricks for a comfortable backcountry toilet experience
• Managing periods, period cramps and hormones on trail
• Keeping your bits clean
• Bras, underwear and chafing 

And we finish strong with a passionate Lincoln-Douglas-style debate about backcountry bidets: keep em or flush em?

Contest

Throughout this episode, you’ll hear at least 10 different poop puns. The first person to list five of them for me will receive a free (brand new, never opened) CuloClean Portable Bidet.

Just list them in a direct message to the Catch Me Outside Podcast Instagram account or email catchmeoutsidepod@gmail.com.
