You can make it easier by squatting on the toilet seat. Take off lower undergarments and footwear. Now rest abdomen against the thighs. Keep the body fairly upright. Don't push unless you feel faeces have descended, to avoid haemarrhoids. Relax and aim to keep breathing.   [guest]

For women: squat on the toilet seat while urinating. Aim carefully, and don't 'spray'. This will strengthen pelvic floor muscles, and help you avoid becoming incontinent in later life.   [guest]

Keep your back straight, but relaxed. This will enable your weight to be balanced more on your spine, rather than having to support the weight through the use of muscles, which requires energy. This posture will also help you to breathe more easily and have more energy. Imagine that you are suspended from a string that connects to your spine and goes right up the back of your neck and out the top of your head.   Kevin Solway (173)

- Water purifying tablets, eye drops
- Toiletry bag (toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, soap, shaver)
- Liquid soap, laundry liquid, sanitary handwash, toilet paper, handwipes
- Candles, matches, lighter, torch, spare batteries
- Spirit-burner and lighter, small metal cooking bowl and cup, pocket knife, spoon and a couple of scourers for cleaning
- Travel towel
- Needles, thread, pins, safety pins, buttons
- Spray gun
- Sun hat, sunglasses, spare shoes
- A 15 - 20L water container stored in the car separately

This box makes it much easier to pack for travelling or having to leave home in an emergency. Just throw in spare clothes, a blanket, tent, sleeping bag, mat, food and water.   kellyjones00 (593)
