Wow, many thoughts spring to mind on this topic. Like: Peeing outside requires practice, most of us don't do it often enough to be really comfortable doing is occasionally. There is a funnel object, not sure the name, to allow females to "stand and deliver" without getting splashes on your shoes. I would like to know if any one has tried that method?
On a trip to the Baja, the permanent campsite had a large pee tree. It was a 40 foot tree, with a walk under canopy of branches. It had a built up screen of dead hedge piled around it. on the left ladies, on the right, gentlemen. ( I didn't check out the guy side at all, sorry for my lack of curiosity at the time,. Who knew I go completely hippy this late in life). Anyways.... The ladies had 2 foot sized perching rocks, which held you above the floor, by only 4 inches, but it worked great. no splashes. The amount of urine was increased but only for short amounts of time, and I think it would be similar to an animal territory marking post which receives a lot of scent marking by animals. And the rain of course would dilute and distribute it. It was planted 1/2 mile from the beach, so sand. Not my circus or my monkeys. just saying.
I think pee for the garden is good, in measured doses, if you're smelling pee maybe ease off a bit. I like the hat idea for collection. That would work great as part of a humanure (sp) system/composting toilet component. Also, free fertilizer.
