Does a bear shit in the woods?
Kristine, holding a double-bagging product, full of “yup”!
Kristine Route is nothing short of amazing . . .
Working with AmeriCorps in Cooper Landing, Alaska, for the past two years, she’s been developing a program to promote a landscape free of human toilet trash I met her in March of .this year when she emailed me with a couple of questions, and we’ve been working together ever since, teamed-up as two river runners oddly passionate about the same subject: nonproliferation of human poop.
With that quick introduction, we want to unveil our poster project, an educational broadside that Kristine has dubbed The Pooster. Our gift to wild places. Available in generic form FREE, by means of a digital file that anyone can have printed. Or, we can customize it to your locale and add regional logos.

We envision Poosters pinned up on backcountry bulletin boards (at boat launches, trailheads, and fishing accesses), where they can begin slipping the topic into people’s thought patterns, and perhaps staving off official pack-it-out regulations. Poosters are especially suited, we think, to high-use public wild lands and in areas designated wilderness. But also as pre-trip reminders in outdoor equipment stores; fly-fishing shops; tourist information centers; canoe, ski, and bike rental establishments; and those many convenience stops that offer last-minute camping supplies. The Pooster makes the perfect partner for sales of outdoor toilet products: the revolutionary new pack-it-out bags, handy backpacker trowels, feminine urinary funnels, and, of course, a stack of How to Shit in the Woods.

Cruise on over and take a gander at our various Poosters; they are already working their magic in Alaska, Idaho, and Montana. Let us know what you think! Do you know a place that’s in need of a Pooster?
Since this entry launched on Sept 19th, requests for digital files have come in from Oregon, Nevada, North Dakota, Colorado, Illinois, Alberta, New Zealand, and additional locations in Montana, Idaho, and Alaska. Way to go!
Wild and wondrous places can heal our harried, sagging spirits . . . join the protectors who are reciprocating, in tending to the beauty of those places.
