I have heard you pee by the water in the grand canyon and other simmilar places. So is it always ok to pee by the water?

If you're Pennsy Hiker, you just pee in the water. But only if it's a natural spring.

I would think that anyone with the name treebeard would not be so hostile.

I have decided "Crabs" is a troll.

Never pee by the water - someone could step in it.

Pee into the water. Much cleaner that way.

I posted believing that you all wanted to share your knowledge of woodcraft and the outdoors. I had mearly heard conflicting information and wanted it clarified. I care not what u Stovestomper call me. I am immune to name-calling. I guess I was wrong to think I could get my questions answered here.

Haven't said word one to you until this thread, Crabby Patty! Call it hostility, but don't try to legitimize this nonsense...

Nonsence? Would u rather have me urinating in all the wrong places? I think not. But I will take your uncalled for agitation as the answer. U obviously feel very strongly negetive about this subject.

I think it depends on where you are. When I recently went rafting down the Colorado, we were told that peeing in the water was the LNT choice. However, that is a very heavily used area with few land places to pee. It's also a huge river. You may be able to pee in any moving water...I don't. Definitely not in lakes.

Same for the ocean. Pee below the tide line.

Everywhere else, dig a cathole.

ok let me put it in a crabshell for you

you pee near water.
it rains
the rain water then filters into the water
then you have PEE IN WATER.


so go ahead and drink up. I am sure the fish won't mind swimming in your pee.
its not a hard question. it really is a common sence.

Your question can be answered at Leave no Trace.

Unless you are SPECIFICALLY told is is ok to do so by a official who manages the area you are in the answer is ALWAYS NO.

You guys need to get off the kick of calling everyone who asks a question you see as obvious a troll.

These questions weren't so obvious to you when y'all started hiking.

I think that I shall never see,
A beverage as lovely as my pee

Poems are made by fools you see,
But everyone should drink their pee

Ideal with my lunch,
washing down ham.
Or tuna or pizza,
or even a yam

Delicious with dinner
at home or on the town.
And no matter how fine the place,
watch me guzzle it down!

No Shasta. No Tab.
No Orangina. No Slice.
Pee’s the one for me.
Who else agrees?

Go sip on your Snapples,
your Cokes and your Surges.
Only Pee Bottle
can satisfy my urges.

I've looked everywhere for you;
Where have you been all my life?
Where are you now?
Has someone craftily stolen you away
from me?
How?
Oh, I miss you terribly!
I miss your song, your zest,
You sweet, sweet, nalgene bottle.
No. No.
No one could ever have taken you away,
For in my hollow head
I hear that familiar echo:
"Forever Pee Bottle”
Always for me.


Burp!
Oh, there you are!

I must have died and ended up in troll heaven. Yes, Crabs is a troll and is very likely in NYC.

No matter where you wander, my son,

No matter where you go,

Remember the law of the Eskimo,

Don't eat the yellow snow.

Does anybody else notice that trolls seem to come in pairs?

Crab sounds vaguely familiar. Ever been to K-2 Crab?

True Story!
I spent a summer working for the NPS up on the Noatak a few years back. Their solution to my pollution was dilution. They promised a bio-toilet but it never came. I defacated and urinated when and where ever. We did finally set a aside a stretch of the gravel bar for the defacation zone. Each cathole was marked with a stick. It looked like a graveyard when I left. I burnt the my paper and mashed my turds and come the following spring thaw the odds of the gravel bar being the same were slim to none.

A couple of times when the skeeters where so bad and I did not feel like DEETing up my nads and bunghole I would line the bottom of this plastic tub, that other previous workers were using for the kitchen sink, with gravel and go right on top of that. Then go fling into the river. Good times!

Fish crap too, its not like mine were gonna cause a log jam.
