How to Poop in the Woods in Yosemite

What will you do if you find yourself at a roadside pullout in Yosemite, or out on a trail, when nature calls unexpectedly? Yosemite wilderness rangers share pro tips on how to poop in the woods. Learning to use the restroom in the great outdoors is critical in protecting our watersheds. Thanks to the San Francisco Public Utility Commission for making this video possible.

I highly recommend Stanford point. Best view I've ever had while dumping

[@KilledbyBigfoot]

Oh god 😩

[@danrodrigues3531]

I saw your review on Yelp...

[@tripletvn]

Thanks for the tip, I was really wondering "where" when she said "maybe even a scenic view" :D

[@urbosasfurry2126]

So a bear and a rabbit are pooping in the woods. The bear turns to the rabbit and asks, "Do you have trouble with poop sticking to your fur." The rabbit replied that he didn't. So the bear picked up the rabbit and wiped his butt with him.

😂👏🏼

[@bassage13]

That was a really crappy joke.

[@thedbq1]

eww gross

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

Fluffy 🐰 BUTT wiping alternative to TP

[@candydicarlo7663]

😆

[@margaridasilva6420]

I just hope a bear doesn't show up while I'm doing the dirty

[@JROutdoors]

Does anyone else think this is how they break in the newer rangers?

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

We do NOW! LOL

[@victoriar2173]

Thank you hot park ranger 😖

[@charlieredeemed]

Good teaching!

[@NessaRossini...]

Bury your poop; don't pollute.

[@oscarinacan]

6-8 inches, stir it around

[@shaneconta249]

finding a scenic place to poop is 100% the reason I go dispersed backpacking in Yosemite xD

[@stevemccollum2011]

LOL did not really show you HOW TO POOP but still good information.

[@bshafs]

Do I squat? Do I sit on a rock? Do I lean against a tree? These are all important questions that went COMPLETELY UNANSWERED

[@jackkorpob]

Brent Shaffer truth! But I just has my first poop up near Yosemite Point, so scenic. But, def squat I think is best. And legs splayed and squat angled away from shoes cuz, what would suck is poop on your shoes. Lol. I didn’t even see this video til AFTER my trip. And they should have suggested use a stick to dig that 6 inch hole...haha

[@guyappin0]

If it did...This Yosemite KZbin Channel would instantly go viral

[@joshuabennett5891]

Very informative....

[@wendysworld2352]

Lol Realizing they had to make this video because there was shit everywhere and they kept stepping on it

[@javid.l2912]

I love California. Hello from 🇪🇦

[@rinzler5974]

Californians love España as well!

[@PurpleRanger69]

Cali is king baby !

[@omer-kv1xl]

very good

[@Falafelzebub]

Get yourself a portable bidet bottle and you won't need toilet paper.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

They ain't miracle cleaners they just help. Nothing beats either the real thing or one of those crazy Star Trek Japanese units.

[@magnumarrowarchery155]

Why do people give informational videos a thumbs down? 🤦‍♂️

[@aaronmodlin1871]

Does a ranger poop in the woods?

[@anonymousrebel6614]

I was just there and saw a bunch of people swimming around in the rapids....and this water is supplied to communities? Hopefully it's been purified!

[@Vinlyguyx420x]

If y'all are nice enough to let me poop in the park, I think I can manage cleaning up after myself and family. I CALL THAT A FAIR DEAL! Thank you

[@markogrba1]

What if you're unfortunate enough to pick a spot previously used? Or fortunate? What are the odds....

[@wildwildItaly]

That's kinda funny though. I've never pooped in the forest. But that's good they tell you not to leave the toilet paper behind.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

Is this video for bears? Why aren't there at least Bear subtitles?

[@danrodrigues3531]

It'd really suck to get started and next thing that you hear is a bear creeping up on you...

[@sorgverkir297]

ice on my neck, flawless baguettes, hop off a jet

[@alyssa_the_noodle5228]

How open is this place to service animals? She comes with her own backpack, and poop bags. I know there is wildlife, but she is trained not to respond. The only issue, I don’t want to be bothered over and over by park officials asking me about my dog.

[@trusarmor4957]

Shit! This is a serious Topic. Crap! i cant afford to go camping.

[@vernonschlabach2322]

Whaaaaaaaaat???

[@Happy-uy5wc]

How to poop in the woods, Its in the Bible, DEUTERONOMY 23, - 12,13 "You shall have a sign outside of camp showing where you can relieve yourself. With your equipment you will have a wooden trowel, and when you squat outside, you shall scrape a hole with it and turn back the soil and then cover your excrement. For the Lord your God goes about in your camp, to keep you save and to hand over your enemies as you advance, and your camp must be kept holy for respect that he (the Lord) should see something indecent and go with you no further. "

[@DemonaLlama]

Wow it really does say that

[@tripletvn]

When nature calls in nature, I wonder I would have time to dig a 6-in hole using rocks and sticks, needless to say finding a scenic view :) (jk)

[@paabl0473]

Why is this recomended? Now i need to shit too lol

[@AquaCarb]

I prefer to hike driving a back-hoe tractor. That way I can be sure to dig 6 inches.

[@texassalt8999]

Also, for balance hug a tree when you squat.

[@elijahcambry3319]

really easier to just squat. Also healthy for the body. That’s why in Japan and China they have nothing but squat toilets in the floor

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

HEY...we're bringing our toilet, shower, bathroom and kitchen sinks, side by side refrigerator/freezer w ice maker, King size BED, 4 huge TVs w satellite Dish Network, built in central vacuum system, central air, convection/ microwave combo, dishwasher AND a washer AND dryer...its over 400 sq ft of luxury when the slides are out...but we're always VERY conservative and mindful of our "carbon-footprint" so we're planning on packing OUT what we packed in...we eat organic vegan diet, drink high END Napa Valley wine, do NOT SMOKE cigareetts and we Vape our own 420 medicine...

[@ZeldaZelda-RichesToRags]

BTW..am ONLY kidding...lol...but happens every day here in Ammeerika! Kaakaa! I was a young girl...7 or 8 yrs old when we saw the FIRE FALLS...burning logs thrown over the ledge from Glacier Point. And THAT was awesome. Was stopped in 1969 due to the Merced River Valley floor being trampled and trashed by uncaring people who watched the event at sundown. There were ALSO numerous thieves who took advantage of the distracted viewers who failed to lock up valuables theives from nearby towns such as Fresno and Merced. Sadly that a few uncaring idiots ruined something so EPIC and breathtakingly beautiful for millions of visitors!

[@joshuaduffy9977]

Poop confirmed

[@Hunnitbans]

Am I the only one who noticed the girl ranger w the fat hickey on her neck LMFAO

[@oscarinacan]

PJ. Tell that dude that nature provides tp. Ferns, nature's toilet paper

[@thethegreenmachine]

And they don't look at all like poison oak :)

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

No, try those greasy three leaved plants, they will do wonders for your backside and hands!

[@danrodrigues3531]

We all poop...

[@albondsgalaxy]

Bury it or else that Tirdy works lady will find it. The last thing anybody wants to see is their poop on TV as an ornament.

[@wjfaust]

This video is also a reminder to tourists to not leave diapers 🙄

[@rr7firefly]

I see people placing soiled diapers in trash cans at the shopping mall food court. Shouldn't human waste be placed in the sewer, not thrown in with regular garbage?

[@bigdog2618]

Were did the Mexican come from

[@facitenonvictimarum174]

Just do it! And don't worry about it! No one should tell you how to take a crap in Yosemite or any other wilderness. All the animals do it, so can humans. The "authorities" get carried away with their rules and regulations, now they want to tell us how to take a ***t!
