I guess I should see about some counseling too I used to backpack quite a lot and my older sister got me a "Bathroom" coffee table book called "How to shit in the woods". Sorry to bring all that up but I had mention the book because it says that urine is sterile and is no problem to add to the soil or plants anywhere. I suppose it would be prudent not to be to close to the nettles (that's a plant - ouch). My guess is that the fish may be a bit miffed, but it probably doesn't hurt anything unless you get cited for overexposure - ouch again I'm not signing this one.
Sorry. I guess I should see about some counseling too I used to backpack quite a lot...
For some reason I was just reminded of something. A woman named Nevada Barr writes mysteries about a woman who is a National Park Law Enforcement Ranger and in one of the books she's working at ... I forget where - maybe Carlsbad Caverns? At any rate she ends up going down into a deep, deep cave called Lechuguilla - or something close to that - and gets immersed in the world of *serious* deep, underground cavers. (BTW, I should add that the writer herself spent years as a real NPS Law Enforcement Ranger and I believe her Park Service and also her nature details are pretty accurate.) Anyway, that deep, underground world is totally fragile and you can't leave *anything* down there or it will ruin it permanently. So they bring special water bottles to pee in (don't get confused!), and for #2 they wrap it in tinfoil and carry it out. These "packages" are known as burritos. So there's an even crazier world than the one of sailing when it comes to delicate subjects ---- deep caving. Sorry if this is too far off topic; I find strange things interesting sometimes. --- Rachel
