I live in the country (28 acres in the woods) and I am having problem being comfortable peeing at my own place.
Funny thing is that I will shower out doors, & pee then!

What people have been saying on this page has helped me to find a comfortable way to do it. I like the person that said something about the water bottle.  If you us a small bottle that is soft, it could be squeezed to shoot water onto you like a bidets.  Then I would think that you wouldn't smell & have your underwear deteriorate as it does from the urine.

Yes I am shy about being outside, it is the smell and the dirty feel that makes me not do it as a norm.  I have gone outside, and I do shake the area, just not to my satisfaction.

The HUMANURE bucket would be the best way for me.  It was the feel of being dirty that I don't like.  Also, I don't like the idea of having TP in my compost pile, yes it will dissolve.  There are heavy chemicals that they use to make paper products, not something I want in my, trying to be, organic garden.  So in comes the idea of the water bottle.  (I am a trucker that has hauled paper products & my property is 1 mile from a paper mill.)

One thought about the Humanure toilet is that you need to have it composted for a year. Year 1 - collect. Year 2 - set.  Year 3 - use on the garden as fertilizer.  That means that you would have to have a compost pile system that would let you do it.  There are many gardeners that do use it.  It is as one of the people writing stated (maybe on different forum, stated about poop) about the tape worm and other bugs from human & animal poop.  That is why it needs to be composted for awhile before using in the garden, kill the bugs!!

Thank you for all of the ideas that were shared.  Even though they might not have touched on the topic you intended, there thoughts and comments did give me an idea.
