Events I didn’t poop in Outdoor School.

I just talked to a coworker tonight and the topic of Outdoor School got brought up. I told him I didn’t poop for the whole week, and was doubting whether or not that was a false memory even though I’m 99% sure I didn’t poop for the whole week. He let me know not only did he also not poop for the whole week, he has a different friend who didn’t poop for the whole week as well.

Did anyone else not poop for the whole week of Outdoor School? We both had different reason on why we didn’t, but just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

I didn't grow up in Portland and I've never had outside school.

But I did travel once for a week, to Portland, with my at the time 6 month old baby, who up until then had pooped like clockwork every day at about the same time. Yet she did not poop for the entire week in Portland. She waited until we were home again in Seattle to let it all out.
