    Depends.... If you are jusst sitting around in evening/afternoon get up, walk outside and grab a breather while you are airing out. If it is quiet and everyone's in their bags, asleep, just let it eek out and no one would/should notice by the time your bag filters it.
    .....Someday, like many others who joined WB in the early years, I may dry up and dissapear....

    If you think its going to be a good one you want to hold it in a bit, and see what everyone else has to offer first, and then when everyone else has had their turn, then you crank it out. If can be rather disappointing and embarrassing if it's fizzled out by then, but hey, no guts, no glory.

    Perhaps the most impressive is the silent and deadly, especially when it arrives late after all the bravado, and was delivered by the most unlikely suspect. Classic. Pregnant lady farts are definitely among the deadliest.

    Whatever you do, don't waste the opportunity to put some free enthalpy into your sleeping bag. Mmmm, toasty footbox.

    If this was in the "thruhiker specific" forum, I'd say it would depend upon where you were on the trail. After a couple of months, no one notices unless they want to mount a challenge.

    What if you're hosing out some buttfunk while on the trail and someone else walks past you? That's technically them crop dusting themselves, right?
