Pee in the forest

My husband likes hiking, walking in the woods, looking at mountain peaks. And as I get older, I enjoy the view of green landscapes, forests, streams, rivers…. more and more. So we go around from time to time, not so much on the mountains, but more often on the hills.

But in the Winter I don’t like the idea of walking over a mountain or even a hill. The main reason is the time to pee!

I’m too dressed, the forest is transparent, there are no green leaves. I have to pull up my heavy winter jacket and hold it, pull up my sweater and hold it, take down my pants and hold them, pull up my T-shirt and hold it, take down my leggings, pull up my undershirt, take down my panties.

We can not just unzip our pants, stand next to a tree, and pee! First of all, we can’t stand and pee. Truth to be told we can, but we’d end up peeing down our legs… and we don’t want that, do we?

So, I hold my heavy jacket, sweater, shirt, and undershirt with my chin and one hand, and my winter pants, leggings, and underwear with my other hand, trying not to pee on them, while the cold breeze blows against my butt and everywhere else ????????????????????. I’m not sure if I hate it more or when I’m done peeing and I rearrange all my clothes, first the panties, then the top, then the leggings, and I tie the undershirt around my stomach and back. Then I pull on my pants, button it up, my hands are already freezing, pull down my sweater, and finally my heavy winter jacket. Damn, what a job!????????????

All of that is fine if there are just the two of us. But if we’re going in a big group of people, come on, how can we avoid being seen? I know that’s all normal, yes… but…still annoying ????????

Once a year I go with my girlfriends to the countryside in Gorski Kotar for the weekend. We always have a great time. Talking, walking, laughing, singing, crying, eating and of course peeing ????????????????

Great lyrics from Franci Blašković, Istrian songwriter and singer could go nicely with this photo: ????????????????
???????????? Chi no pissa in compania e’se ladro e una spia! ???????????? Who doesn’t pee with friends is a thief and a spy! ????????????????????????

It would be really nice if there were some improvised places – barriers, on hiking trails where women could squat and pee without worrying about whether anyone would see them taking off their pants and panties. ????To much to ask!! ????????????

Walking trail – Kamačnik, Croatia

The Kamačnik trail was a very nice experience. We walked along the river to the spring. Beautiful forest, path, bridges… everything!

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a coffee bar with a normal toilet, clean, tidy and working!!???? . Maybe they could just consider putting hiking boots for the male and female toilet signs. For example, a hiking boot with a high heel ????????????????????????‍♀️

Mind you, in Croatia they could put up a sign: ???????? for hiking. Because it is well known that Czech tourists walk in the Croatian mountains in flip-flops ????????‍♀️????????
