marktqm said:Great idea about pilgrims doing 'volunteer' work on the camino. My only concern is the pilgrim's back after all that stopping and squatting to pick up the trash. Ever tried to pick up something on the ground with a heavy pack on your back?
I guess it's going to be a matter of technique.
I suspect most Australian women would prefer to use a toilet, unless they are pulling the leg of some silly old man. But xin loi, who am I to know anything about these things.Walked with a small herd of young women from Oz last June near Pamplona. They would put on a knee length poncho whenever they had to go and just squat down anywhere they pleased. They said that was way things were done in Oz.
Oh my goodness I have reached the end of the internet with this one. I will show my wife this and I think the walk will end before it begins!
I'm with @Anniesantiago - a ziplock plastic bag and a small cotton handkerchief that can be rinsed out each night are all that is needed. Next camino I'll be taking extras to give away to other women.
If you use a FUD (female urinary device) the lip can be used to wipe away any excess moisture. But be warned, make sure you practise at home first! And some are so hard to use that you finish up virtually getting undressed, so there is not much point.
Anyone who is serious about wanting to clean up the path can help by collecting refuse along the way and dropping it in the huge industrial bins at the entrance to most villages. I will be doing it - not all the time and not every day, but every little bit helps.
Or volunteer to help @Rebekah Scott with her annual clean-up (usually November).
