If we wanted to behave in a socially acceptable manner we would stay in societal settings

Just another day in the woods.
Before I let one rip, I check, just to be sure.

You left out whizzing beside the trail.
With my high fiber hiking diet, farting and belching is inevitable. In the spirit of LNT, I pack out my boogers.

I check after, too... just to be sure.

Bill, W T eff you doing on W B ??? Boring night on the Keys?
My gf doesn't like my snot rockets. I tell her I'm being green by not using up tissue.

Why would hiking be any different than any other day? LOL

As Colin Fletcher said, dehydrated food "makes you fart like a bull".

Cold snap has us huddling around the space heater. Heard Mathewski was stirrin' it up over here, so thought I'd check the place out.
Nothing embarrasses me like being caught talking to myself. Not farting, burping or being caught crapping, and certainly not shooting snot-rockets, all of which are normal human behavior.
Now the day I'm caught masturbating in the woods, I'll probably quit thru-hiking.

Not sure what it has to do with hiking.
I do this everyday anyway.
Yes, yes, and yes. With joy and gusto !

The funny thing is I might not see another person on the trail all day, but the second I do something nasty it seems there was some stealthy hiker coming right up behind me. Now I always look both ways before I let them fly.

Snot rockets are far more interesting while biking at 30 mph, but I still enjoy them hiking.
Belching and farts keep the bears away. I have perfected the art so that all wildlife within a 10 mile radius take notice.

One word of caution:
Never open the gas lines near an open flame. You might just leave a crater.

And it's usually someone of the opposite sex.
A guy I used to work with was waiting to cross the road. He let a very audible olfactory emission fly from his rear and then noticed a hot blonde standing about 3ft diagonally behind him.

I believe kids today call it "crop dusting"

Though beware of any hiker over 40, one of those farts could turn out to be "crap dusting"
Not only that, but I pee and poop out there too.
ROTFL!!! I'm a lady with a 12 year old boy sense of humor and this made me laugh out loud in my cubicle. Thank you all and Happy Monday!
BTW - This is the main reason I will never sleep in a shelter if not forced. My tent acts like my "room" and offers just enough of a false sense of privacy to make me able to look a fellow hiker in the face the next day. :)

Elevation farts are the real deal. Between my brothers and I we could have killed a donkey had there been one near us in the WRR
If you hike in a group you can play fart baseball

you have to be careful that you reach base safely, if you slide you might get skid marks on your shorts

I dont know, there comes a point in life when you cant trust a fart. Things might get a little squishy

Nothing worse than a fart with lumps.

Technical term is "Shart". My kids use it and "Crop-dusting" regularly. The champion in our house is actually our dog. Cute little girl can run us all out of the room.

Ah! That would be Colin Fletcher! Of course! I have "The Complete Walker" in my library.
I thought you said "colon felcher," which would be very different. Googling the noun in that phrase ain't for the squeamish...

I don't really have an issue with gas or burps but OMG SNOT ROCKETS!!!! My little girl (9 YO min pin) gets gas and it is so bad. She's only 10 pounds but it is terrible. She can run me off the couch, I can't imagine how bad it will be when we share a sleeping bag for 5 months!!!
FYI "Crop Dusting" is when you are walking past someone and start letting it loose right before you pass them and continue as you walk by... like a crop duster does his... crops. You basically dust the victim ;) It's an art really.

Well said. And the best at this, so says my girlfriend, are flight attendants, since their victims are essentially trapped.
PS: My girlfriend is a flight attendant; I advise not flying Southwest, or at least avoiding the aisle row.
