00:00Even grosser than roaches in your pop?
00:06Oh no, what?
00:07How about bags of your poop?
00:09Oh boy.
00:11Andy's been doing some hiking and stuff.
00:13So keep this in mind, Andy, if you ever venture into rock climbing.
00:17Rock climbing?
00:18I don't know if I'll venture that far.
00:21Is that your next hobby?
00:22Yeah, that's my next hobby will be rock climbing.
00:25That's a big jump.
00:26That's a big, big jump.
00:28I just kind of go on some walks, on some trails.
00:31I even kind of stretched a little bit when I was calling what I do hiking.
00:35Next thing I know, I'm rock climbing.
00:37Yeah, that's a big jump.
00:39You might get that urge for adrenaline, you know?
00:42But there's a location in British Columbia where they're now giving people who are coming to climb the mountain some rock climbing, bags to poop in.
00:53Bags to, oh, because they have all that problem.
00:55I'm like, so like it's going to take, yeah, it's going to take so long to climb this thing that they basically know you're going to have to drop one.
01:03Yep.
01:04So they're saying there's been an explosion in the usage of the backcountry areas in the southwest British Columbia.
01:10The rock climbing is very much a part of that.
01:12So they're finding that there are issues with human waste, particularly in their more remote areas.
01:19And it said it's usually as dogs you find waste in the forest and blah, blah, blah.
01:22But they're finding human feces pretty much all over the place at this location.
01:27I can't imagine stepping in human waste.
01:31Yeah, that would suck.
01:32Because dog poop is bad enough.
01:34It's terrible.
01:35But human stuff.
01:37Human poop.
01:37Like, and the thing is, if you're like rock climbing and you put your hand in it.
01:41Oh.
01:43No.
01:43Then you slip.
01:44Slip and fall to your death.
01:46You plummet to your death.
01:47Somebody else's turd.
01:48Oh, my God.
01:49Oh, you're trying to reach up and you don't realize that you think that's a rock, but it's just a turd hanging over.
01:55Just squishes.
01:56It's a robust bag with powder inside that will turn liquid into gel.
02:00It's meant to be used as portable, single-use toilet in the wilderness or other situations where facilities aren't available.
02:06Okay.
02:06So, like, when I was in San Francisco with my kids, I took them there.
02:09There was, like, this one place you could go to.
02:13I think it's called the Mirror Woods.
02:16You see the Redwoods or whatever.
02:17And they have, like, different trails.
02:20They have, like, hiking trails.
02:21They have the beginner trail, the medium trail, and then the hard trail.
02:27Of course, I was like, well, the beginner trail, they were like, that's basically for senior citizens.
02:31So, I was like, okay, we're going to go on the medium trail.
02:33Let's not get insane or whatever.
02:35It ended up being a little bit longer than I thought it was going to be.
02:41And I know that it was probably whatever, three-quarters of the way, I was like, oh, boy.
02:47You had to go?
02:48Had to go.
02:51Now.
02:52Now.
02:52One of the worst feelings ever.
02:54That's so bad.
02:55Like, well, the fear that hits your stomach when that happens.
02:58Because, and this is the other thing.
03:00I don't know how much longer this thing's going to go for.
03:03That what they, basically, what they said to you, they were like, well, I should have done the beginner.
03:07But they said.
03:08Old person trail.
03:09They said to me, you know, they're like, listen, it's all in a loop.
03:14So, you start one way, you go all the way around, and then you'll eventually end up right back at the, you know, little gift shop or whatever.
03:21There's bathrooms there.
03:22And there's bathrooms there.
03:23Right.
03:23So, I am just determined I am going to make it back.
03:30Yeah, you have to tell yourself that.
03:32I mean, that's, it became everything.
03:34Like, my kids would want to stop at a tree or something.
03:37I'm like, shut up!
03:38Keep going!
03:38Keep going!
03:39Did you walk fast or slow?
03:40How did?
03:41It was.
03:41It was.
03:42That's a balance.
03:43You got to.
03:44Can I tell you?
03:45Was it a clenched walk?
03:46Too fast?
03:47It was.
03:48There was a clench.
03:49There were a couple clenched walk moments.
03:51So, the way that it was sort of hitting me was like these waves.
03:54So, you'd slow down a little bit?
03:56Like, yeah.
03:56And then I'd kind of, and sometimes I'd have to fully stop and be like, oh, look at this.
04:02This tree over here.
04:04And a lot of times there was nothing to look at at that spot.
04:07And it was like there was so many other people that they were just probably like, what is this stoic?
04:12This man stoically standing and observing really nothing.
04:17And, um, uh, I was, you know, my kids both knew.
04:21I was like, I was like, it's, this is bad, guys.
04:25What were they saying?
04:25It was Stella's concern of, well, because she can't.
04:29Well, she didn't want you to poop your pants.
04:30No.
04:30That's embarrassing.
04:31We're on a bus tour.
04:32I poop my pants.
04:33Oh, my God.
04:34I've got to go on a bus to somewhere else.
04:37No.
04:38This could not happen.
04:39This could.
04:40You've got teenagers.
04:41They're like, no.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Rowan said, he doesn't care if I poop myself or if I didn't.
04:46He was like, whatever.
04:47I don't care.
04:50Um, but.
04:51Go ahead, Dad.
04:51I was always thinking about the emergency of like, if you have to go off the trail and
05:01then you have to just do this, you know, and I feel like in these places, this is what they're
05:07encountering.
05:08So like if hundreds and hundreds of people a day are going to some of these, like, oh,
05:13you must see this B.C., you know, trail and are deciding I have to poop off to the side.
05:23It's people don't go as far as you think.
05:26Oh, yeah.
05:26Just go right around the first tree and then drop a deuce.
05:29So if you had, if this happened to you and those bags were around.
05:33Lise, I don't want to use a bag.
05:35I don't want to poop into a bag ever in my life.
05:38But would you have in this situation if those were available?
05:40But what it would have done, it would have given me at least peace of mind.
05:45You'd have felt better psychologically.
05:47Psychologically.
05:48Like there is better.
05:49It's like a safety plan.
05:50There's something here.
05:51But there's the other side of it.
05:52And because I always think this too, the closer I got to the gift shop area, like I could see
06:00it was like, like it was like, oh God, like it all of a sudden back there, everything
06:06was like, hey, we made it.
06:08We made it.
06:08We're going on.
06:08My brain was signaling.
06:10Yes.
06:11It was like, time to go.
06:12Time to go.
06:13And I'm like, no.
06:15Like Stella was like, go.
06:17Just go.
06:19She's screaming it.
06:21Run.
06:21I'll be in the gift shop.
06:23It like lit up and played music.
06:25Oh, listen, I'm telling you.
06:27But so.
06:28So you went in there?
06:29No.
06:29So I go.
06:30I'm like going to there.
06:32There's a cone.
06:34A cone?
06:35Yeah.
06:35Like out of order?
06:36They're in there cleaning it.
06:38No.
06:38Oh, the panic sets back in.
06:43Almost.
06:43My knees are given out from the pain of everything.
06:47And luckily it was like within like a couple minutes that the guy came out with a cone.
06:54But the best part was like everything was clean on the inside.
06:57It was like it wasn't the worst experience.
06:59That's nice.
07:00You could just pass it on, drop trowel, and release.
07:02Were you sweating?
07:03Do you think you could poop into a bag?
07:06Like I don't know if I could physically.
07:09Unless I put the bag down and then I'm over it like that.
07:12I would have to.
07:13There's no way I'm holding a bag.
07:15It seems like it would be.
07:16It would go one way and I would go.
07:17I don't know for a lot of people.
07:18I think.
07:19I'm pooping.
07:21I think I need a treat.
07:23I think you'd have to like, you'd have to like almost make it like a horse saddle.
07:27Oh, yeah.
07:27Like side to side like that.
07:29Maybe that's what they do.
07:30When I'm at least in number two, I'm also at least in number one.
07:33Yeah.
07:33Well, I think it's designed for that, too.
07:35So it's going to.
07:37Woohoo.
07:39Yeah.
07:39I think I'm horse saddling it as well.
