Desperate for a pee with no trees or bushes to hide behind

Probably a silly question, and not something I've had to deal with yet, but how do you manage going for a pee when there are no landscape features to hide behind.

I realise the chaps can just turn around, point and be done, but what about ladies, how do you preserve your modesty when you are desperate for a pee out in the wilderness. Do you just ask everyone to turn around and look the other way until you are done?

 

Actually, yes, pretty much. Ask the rest of the party to turn around, walk away to put a bit of distance between you, quick drop, tinkle, and then shout up to say you are done.

Top tip: If the wind is blowing hard make sure you face into it so as not to soak your pants. DAHIKT.

 

when you gotta go you gotta go ! sit on ground wiggle out of pants and hope nobody notices x

 

That sounds about right.

 

Carrying it out is an option at present. Just make sure you have a leak proof container.

 

Would depend on where you go. The nitrogen content can be high, too high for most plants. Its possible to see in some places where overuse has occurred, as a general background feature. Very little will grow, so wildlife moves on.

Do we have the right to contaminate the land that someone else relies on is another question. Even sheep will use/choose one area. We, as a species, have evolved into the fastest means of spreading disease worldwide.

Did a two day trip, in the UK, where nothing was left behind. We knew that before we went. Currently there is no need to "pack it out", but does no need mean we have the right to just get rid of our waste where we want?

 

Didn't our ancestors 'go' outside before flushing loos were invented?

 

The operatative word there being in fields, out of their natural enviroment. Any animal will be reluctant to eat what it has just "dropped it's load on". A group of people, using the same area will soon damage that area. Watercourses are supposed to be fenced off in fields, as part of what was REPS.

Human urine make an effective weedkiller, when used neat. Water it down and you get a decent fertilizer from a waste product. Nitrogen content being higher than that of normal farm fertilizers.

"Carry Out" could be a subject by itself.

 

Don't think I've ever seen "wild" sheep, what with them being domesticated animals that live in fields, but by the by....You mentioned "sheep will use/choose one area" - I've never seen that. They do their doings where they are, quite often eating whilst doing.....they're not bright enough to worry about food hygene , and as for urine making good weedkiller...well I've used it in the allotment to grow some spectacular root veg over the years - I was given advice to use it by a champion leek (no pun intended) grower.
