What would you use if you were on an extended wilderness hike and got constipated? Are there plants that help with this? Okay Rick, time for a thread jacking joke😁

Drink some water from a local puddle. Should solve your problem in about 24 hours. Then you will be eating charcoal from the campfire trying to stop the flow.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
It would be my luck that I would poop my brains out and couldn’t even find my way home��

Actually, there are some common herbs that will help resolve that. Dandelion, nettle or sorrel used as a tea will help. Obviously, adding more water to your diet helps.
Well.....................since Rick didn't...............
checkout the plant plantain, it's a common weed found through out the us.
and all over the yard. the tall parts with the seed is want. they need to be dried and then ground.
plantain is a natural laxative.
coyotes listen to them, like children of the night what music they make.
Oh my God, that guy must have drank a bottle or two of magnesium citrate...

I am not going to ask how you know that.
Ha, while working in a medical setting, you see too many things that humans should never have to see, and that humans should never have to endure.
And then there is the fiends of Steve and I, who he and his wife qualified for medicaid after he retired ( she has never worked any paying job other than working the polls at election) and their insurance sent them this prepaid visa card that the insurance would deposit so much money for each preventive medical test they had, including a colonoscopy, we were not spared any details in their day before preparations despite our objections based on TMI.

Oh that is an easy one, I got this....
Answer:
I would bring any home cooked meal that my biological mother made, a sure way to evacuate one's bowels was from her home cooked meals... Words to live by. WHen u ate her food U would go " Oh S!@#" both figuratively and literally
FYI, this is national diarrhea awareness week..... runs through Friday.
A man full of grits is a man full of peace.
I see what you did there.
Tracks Across the High Plains...Death on the Bombay Line...A Touch of Death and Mayhem...Dead Rock...The Griswald Mine Boys...All On Amazon Books.
I didn't. I closed my eyes quick enough to avoid it.
I don't know where you could find it during a hike, but milk is a natural laxative. And so is coconut water.
As a friend of mine once said, fishing, gardening, hunting and tinkering with your car aren't just nice hobbies, but also a nice way to save money when you need.
Just about anything you're not used too eating is a natural laxative. I like a variety of wild greens. I can now eat violet leaves but when I first tried them, they sorta churned up my guts.
I mostly try to avoid diarrhea on hikes and camping. Dehydration is not my friend.
Actually, I would rather avoid constipation than cure it. I find that oatmeal for breakfast works for me. But if it sneaks up on me, I would much rather put up with a stool softener than the griping of a laxative. Some oily food generally works for me.

True enough, my final home is still out there, but this is most certainly my home range and I love it. I love every rock I fall off and tree I trip over. Even when I am close to dying from exhaustion, a beautiful sunset doesn't lose it's power to refresh and inspire me and that, in itself, is enough to save me sometimes.
This is so true. When we went to sea we would run our of fresh fruit and vegtables and milk in a few days. When we would return months later, every would scarf down anything fresh. An hour or so later there were lines to use the bathrooms onboard.
My Grandmother used to give us the root of the licorice fern. Always seemed to work.

Verbena tea also helps.
Some friends said let's go to a chain seafood restaurant where everything is deep fried same as a French fry. Much to my dismay, I learned it was a great laxative.
To those who are laughing; it wasn't funny.
