I didn't read it but I saw an article the other day about an army sniper getting a medal for spending 3 days crawling across a field to get a shot at a high value military target and then another 3 days crawling back out.

Nobody would play that game. (also when did he poop?)

I don't know specifically, but before (days?) launch astronauts will eat a "low residue" diet that decrease bowel movements.

I'd imagine in such a case as you described, a similar strategy c/would be employed.

Probably before heading out and then once or twice during the week he was out there. It's not a big problem.

The more urgent question is, how did he get water?
