What is "papierzaki", or Why did they hang "toilet" instructions in the Polish forests
Imagine the situation – you are walking through a remote forest with a backpack, knocking down cones with tracking sticks and tickling your ego with the thought that you are a cool survivalist and extreme, when suddenly you notice a neat column with a sign in Polish, and a shovel next to it. If you don't know Polish, then it's half bad, but if… In short, there will be no trace of the image of a forest wanderer and an explorer of the wilds. And the thing is that the sign may well contain instructions on how to properly go " big " in the forest.
The State Forestry Agency of Poland took an unprecedented step and placed signs in the country's forests with detailed instructions on how to properly relieve a great need under the shade of the forest. A shovel is attached to each plate, which will help to cover up traces after the act of defecation in nature.
The first such installations were discovered by tourists in the Spyhovo district, located in the north-east of the country. The information stand invites Poles and guests of the country to move away from the trails and roads into the forest for relief. It is recommended that, after doing everything, dig a hole with a shovel and carefully bury your feces so that no one stumbles upon it.
In addition, the instructions recommend placing paper used for its intended purpose in a miniature burial ground, which will keep the forest lands in pristine cleanliness. By the way, if there is no paper at hand, good Polish foresters recommend using moss, which is also then subject to burial.
This is not the first time that Polish forestry workers have touched on a burning topic. Earlier this year, the branch of the State Forests in Spychovo launched a campaign on its Facebook page telling "how to make poop with respect for nature and ourselves". They advised to bury the feces, and explained why it should be done.
It is known that the subscribers of the official page took this post with enthusiasm and thanked the forestry department for taking care of the cultural appearance of tourists and vacationers in the bosom of nature. Of course, it looks strange to us, but is there anything wrong with respecting yourself, the forest and others?
I wonder what the famous Japanese fecal terrorist and sensei of street defecation, Izawa Masana, would say about this?
