how do you feel about going to the bathroom outdoors?

Meaning as is sometimes done on wilderness trips, without a toilet facility, only the ground or some bushes.

It depends, mostly on whether I have toilet paper or tissues or something with me. Also less enjoyable if I'm sick to my stomach.

I will go outdoors if I am unable to go indoors. But I would never go outdoors if I was able to go indoors.

I liked it because I liked the direct, composting element of it.
I didn't like it when I drank some mountain water in WY and contracted dysentery.

I don't mind peeing in the great outdoors, as long as no-one is watching.

I don't like to do this. Have done it a very few times but it seems to me a form of polluting the environment. I was embarrassed once when someone I was hiking with peed in someone's front garden. I hike in an urban area and a few city parks or neighborhoods have pay toilets that cost 25 cents; the ones that are no charge are usually filthy but still better than going in public. Sometimes in neighborhoods where work is being done on homes, there will be workmen's public johns and one can duck in there; I have done this latter many times.

I don't like to do this. I'm reminded of the time I was with my cousin at the BLM office building when we were kids. She asked to use the bathroom, and they wouldn't let her, so she peed on their sidewalk.  * laughing out loud *

I have done it, sometimes liked it because I really needed to go. and other times I didn't like it because there was no toilet and no tissue and we were hiding from the rest of the drinking crowd. This was many, many moons ago at keggers.

It's not my first choice, but it's better than nothing. When you gotta go, you gotta go. Just be sure that you don't use poison ivy leaves to wipe. I learned that the hard way.  * frown *

Peeing outside doesn't bother me at all. I'll do it when it's convenient. Especially on the asparagus. I'm not at all fond of crapping outside though.

Brings a whole new meaning to "When nature calls huh?" It's not something I prefer, b/c if I'm going #2, I have to squat, and being male, I don't get as much practice as you ladies do. Peeing doesn't bother me at all, b/c if I'm on a road trip, I'll just stop somewhere and go.

Can you imagine a stiff-upper-lip bowler-hat wearing queue until you're blue in the face Brit using an outdoor toilet? Can you imagine one using the toilet at all? We have risen above such things!  * wink *

number 1 is not so bad, but I can't say I liked it (I'm not sure I ever like going to the bathroom).
number 2 outside, the few times I've had to, wasn't fun.

Ah, the Queen starts her drinking quite early in the day! I know some Rhodes scholars who were invited to meet her at an anniversary of the scholarships being set up, and she seemed to be drinking a fair bit then!

It don't bother me a bit to take a piss outside, I do that everyday. If I have to take a crap though I'd go inside. Athough I've taken many a craps outside when I was camping. * smile *

I'm always concerned about squatting amongst poison oak or poison ivy and getting a breakout in a very uncomfortable place.
