Title: Poop & Pee Outside
Post by: Sully on July 06, 2008, 11:44:45 pm
I would like it if it was legal, but with what some people are eating and how many people are in the world. I wouldn't want some other people doing the same. It sucks to go inside a structure to urinate. When I have to go, I want to relieve my body as soon as possible.

but yeah, knowing what people eat these days I would never want people pooping just wherever. :P
yeah their poop would probably contaminate soil, i would hate to step in it also

Now this is something I heavily object to. One reason why I avoid mass public bathing-spots like the plague is because of the tendency of people to urinate into the water - it's particularly bad because mothers encourage their brats to piss into the water as well. I even had to remonstrate with one of my female cousins once because she wanted to urinate while within a pristine mountain-pool of one of the most scenic rivers in Italy.

I wouldn't pee in a pool, public or otherwise, but I have done so in a large body of open water where sea animals pee and poop at will.
Outdoors, when there is no choice other than to wet your pants, I'll seek out some secluded bushes and go there. I can hold my feces for quite some time so that's not an issue. But, if I absolutely had no choice, I'd probably squat in the woods somewhere. One thing about being on an RPD is that your stools come out cleanly; not leaving anything if at all to have to wipe off.
I do use TP but usually find there's nothing to wipe off.

Sea animals may poop in the ocean but over a very widespread area. When masses of humans all poop and piss in the same area of the coast then that's appalling(especially as such areas of mass bathing generally have a multitude of hotels which spew their sewage so as to help pollute the local waters).

Were not suggesting the masses do it my friend... ;)

Pardon me? Of course I do! I was just saying that it comes out "cleanly." It doesn't stick to your fanny is all I meant.

Sexist post! Only females can pee.
I piss anywhere I please (usually off my back deck (poop deck in nautical terminology :) ), note that I live in a wild forest. It is a territorial marker recognised and honoured by our fellow predators such as wolves and bears. I do not usually crap outside because 1- it's hard on my knees 2- any place I don't walk is full of tall and prickly weeds, would have to get a machete and cut my way through (it's a second growth forest, so lots of underbrush).
In winter, when there is no running water I save the product and bury it in late spring when the ground thaws in a shallow trench dug where the weeds will grow in their time. It's called composting, supposedly completely digested by the earth in three weeks. This must be true, as I have the biggest and best and thickest and most varied green stuff I have seen in this area. Seems environmentally friendly to me.
N.B. The deposit must be covered with dirt, learn this from dogs & cats, otherwise our prey will notice and avoid the area, and a campground host will persecute you. I did that one winter in an NPS campground in Texas.
There is a true and funny screed called "How to shit in the woods"; google finds it.

When I was into vermiculture, I considered getting a composting toilet. Never did though.
