On our trip this year we could have powered our canoe for miles if we could harness all the wind we were creating. Not sure why butt do you fart more when up north or is it just us?

I hate to admit it but... yes. And they are some of the worst the world will ever bear witness to. I blame the beef jerky.

Maybe but not nearly as much when I get above 10,000', something to do with Boyle's law.

Hmm calling all you in house chemists and the like. I bet Kiporby could explain this phenomenon.

Same goes for us women, when the men are not around! Must be something about that freeze dried food.

Avoid Backpackers Pantry's "Mexican Tostada"....it's wicked bad. Right Snakecharmer?

I think its because of all those exotic local beers the night before entering the BW.

No more, but no less than usual. My Grandaddy used to say, "A farting horse will never tire, A farting Man's the one to hire."

My gaseous output is far less in the BW, possibly because of my extremely low-fat diet.

yes. constantly.



or maybe I just notice it more cause it's so quiet. :)

No more, no less than usual. However, I am less discreet while canoeing. It is also one of the reasons that I prefer caned seats over tractor style seats.

I would like too but I am afraid that all of that farting might provoke a new regulation from Washington or perhaps a new tax. Must be related to global warming and a bean tax can't be far off. Until I can master solar farting I will have to suffer in silence.

From the responses I've read, it seems like most of us do. I'm thinking it has something to due with the fact we are so relaxed and comfortable up there. Even a cold rainy day in the B-Dubs/Q is better than a day in the office! Now I gotta try to get my doctor to prescribe 7-10 days a year up there......for my gastro-intestinal health of course ;)

Many of the meals I've seen people describe have a lot of fat in them. That could be a big reason.

I'm not so sure about that (not the last part - I grew up with sisters).
I mean, a lot of freeze-dried meals are heavy on beans, and some are pretty high-fat. My "output" is almost nil, which I attribute to avoiding both beans and fats.

Well said Vanny. Even a thread like this sheds light on the wonders of the BWCA. Chilly, was that your intent?
 
08/01/2010 10:49PM  
Lets put on the scientists sunglasses for a second and break it down. You got:

1. Liquid: the water/ water tablets/ water filter/ propel/ kool aid/ booze ext...

2. Food: ?

3. Elevation changes

4. Fresh air percentage increase

5. Set of mind: don't think about work= farts

6. Mandatory stress relief from paddling and portaging all day

7. The perfect storm! Fart forces colliding.



What's the culprit?
 
08/02/2010 03:04PM  
Someone mentioned on some other thread that he's a bit of a "stool camel" when in the BW. I think this accounts for a higher output of gas as it's in there longer working....

I, myself, have not noticed a difference. But I doubt I've paid much attention, either.
 
08/02/2010 03:24PM  
I don't believe I produce more gas when I'm camping, probably less. I sometimes suspect that I am actually eating food that my system agrees with more than when I am at home or at restaurants. Restaurants cause the most gas in my case, the worst place to have it.
 
08/02/2010 04:00PM  
quote nojobro: "I, myself, have not noticed a difference. But I doubt I've paid much attention, either."

You'd have to ask my trip mates I guess. I only know that I require certain paddling partners to keep their sleeping bags zipped and cinched at night... AND to sleep near the rear door with window down.
 
08/02/2010 04:09PM  
Far less, unfortunately. I'm always at a disadvantage with my trip mates. Defenseless.

I understand that moderators are human just like the rest of us, but when the subject is farts, is deletion really the right answer?

08/06/2010 09:36PM  
I've been working this one up for a while and decided it's time to let fly.

The grandmother of the bride was seated at the table of honor. From time to time she inexplicably leaned sideways against her nephew, who had brought her to the event. Each time, fearing for her safety, he gently straightened her up, whereupon she smiled sweetly and continued slowly eating her meal. And each time he asked her if she was OK and if she needed her oxygen. Each time she thanked him and said no, she was just fine.

After the reception the nephew took grandma back home. He asked her how she liked the wedding and the meal and all, and if she was feeling all right. She said, "Oh, it was all so wonderful - they're such a happy couple - except every time I had to fart I couldn't because you pushed me back up!"

After four days on Lake Three, my son and I laughed ourselves silly. We farted more those four days than we ever thought possible! Incredible -- I'm guessing it's something in the water.

I'm not really sure but it reminds me of a promise I made to my uncle and dad.

We take a yearly trip, and for some reason each year they forget that the year before they had the same discussion: Basically my dad uses the comode more often in the BW and my uncle uses it less often.

My promise to them was that if I heard that conversation one more time I would be using it in both of their eulogies (it wasn't a threat that I would kill them, just use the story when the time arose).

So far it will not be included, however I am sure they will forget and bring it up on future trips.

It just dawned on me that, for me, gas is more plentiful on group trips. That's probably because someone else usually cooks and provides food to which my system is unaccustomed. Basically it's the same reason that restaurant cooking often affects me.

I used to think so, butt my wife says that air gives me gas, so I'm not so sure - lots of fresh air up there...

This year I did. For the first time, I dehydrated Bush's baked beans for our group. They turned out great and had all of the normal residual effects you get with them straight out of the can. Good thing our latrine holes were deep.

I definitely burp more, does that count?
 
06/30/2014 04:00PM  
I fart pretty much all of the time; no more noticeable in the BW. Now, my buddy Dave, this year he was disgusting...!

Jan, you bumped it on April Fools Day five years ago, too. Can't say you're not consistent! LOL

It's the onion rings from Gordy's in Cloquet. And we fart more in Quetico.

I doubt I fart more, I'm just more obvious about it.

Do I fart more in the BWCA? I'd say no because I mostly solo, and I hate to waste.

The BWCA is a place where all of my body parts have the freedom to breathe so yes, absolutely! I suppose this would be true of all threads with some history but a little sad to see names not around in a long time and some gone.

x2jmorris: "I'll have to keep a log"


Warning: Keeping a log will just make you fart all the more. Let that fella slide!

Personally, I never fart in the wilderness because I never hear, "Dad, you stink!"

(I solo, but that is not germane to the discussion.)

I have something of a scientific mind, but it never occurred to me to keep data on this one.

Just saw a Social Distancing PSA poster:
"If you can smell their fart, move farther apart!"

That's why traveling solo is so easy!

I think I definitely fart more due to the increased amount of fiber in the energy bars, muesli, and oatmeal that I eat when in the BWCA.

HAFE (High Altitude Flatus Explosion) is real. Do not underestimate it. I consider anything over 750 feet above see level to be high altitude. The BWCA qualifies.

If you can’t fart amongst friends, they aren’t.

And yes, I will join the both of you on this. Let’s just say I have a reputation and I will leave it at that.

Happppy April second eve!
