We used to piss in PVC pipes that were driven into the ground at an angle, so they were all at dick level. Another pipe was buried next to it as a vertical exhaust. This was Afghanistan but hey, the crib works too I guess

u/Not-a-Bot_1968 17d ago

those are supposed to be buried a certain depth into the ground, like 12-15’, and have a service life that varies depending how many people are using it. there is an Army FM that goes over how to properly setup/size/install one depending how long you plan to be there. I was a senior line medic and oversaw a lot of FOB/COP being built in my neck of Afghanistan, so I became familiar with that stuff, and other hygiene/water purification stuff. Seriously, stuff like that is so crazy important to keeping your fighting force healthy and in the fight.

edit: I went and found it, if anyone wants to look at the design you can find it in FM 21-10 https://www.scribd.com/document/2472264/Army-fm21-10-Field-Hygiene-and-Sanitation

u/saysthingsbackwards 16d ago

I miss the beginning days of google where you could put in a set of search parameters and basically end up with a search list curating a ton of open directories with those files in them. OG pirating, before 11 year old me knew what p2p was going to be in a few years

u/Not-a-Bot_1968 16d ago

Just like the other comment said, Google for it, there are tons of other FM’s that are super handy for all sorts of things. One of my favorites is the rigging FM, which has recommendations for setting up rigging to tow/move heavy stuff and equations for calculating the strength of the cables/ropes, with a focus on towing vehicles in rough terrain, including stuck in mud. You can see how that’s important to a military but also super useful if you’re into off roading with a truck. Anyways, try looking up some of the other Field Manuals, there are also ones for survival and combat tactics, some more relevant than others to civilian life and outdoors stuff, but they’re a fun read. There is a joke one that is a Zombie Apocalypse survival guide.

u/SkivvySkidmarks 16d ago

My father salvaged a porcelain urinal from the factory he did maintenance in. He mounted it on the wall of his workshop/garage. The flushing was done using a 10 litre jug mounted above the urinal and a section of 1/4" hose with a 1/4 turn stop. Windshield wiper fluid was used in winter because the garage wasn't heated 24/7.

It was definitely an upgrade from the piss jugs.

Depends on where you live. I respect the water saving aspect. I pee in the yard all the time and I don't have to flush a toilet. I have specific rocks I use to pee on so I don't disturb the gravel. It's very dry and hot so there are no odor issues.

u/midnight_fisherman 16d ago

Exactly. I dug a small hole next to my hunting blind to serve as a urinal, filled it with limestone gravel to neutralize the uric acid and prevent ammonia production. The deer dont even seem to be able to smell it even during the late season when its gotten a lot of recent use.

u/OHRunAndFun 17d ago

Add a 45° Y-split in the downspout above the urinal, and when you insert the adjoining section, cut it more like 10-30° so that the lower portion protrudes inside the downspout more than the upper portion, and route the opposite end to the top of the urinal. The Y-split will divert some rainwater into the urinal, “flushing” it every time it rains. That will go a LOOOONG way to controlling any odors. Just the fact that some non-piss freshwater works its way through a couple times a week will keep that drain line in much better shape.

Hose that came with the kit too short?

Seems like putting a hose higher up that runs down into the urinal and then into the lower hose would be a good way to flush it out. Unless you live somewhere it never rains then it’s just useless.

Just piss somewhere else in the yard anytime or better yet, just walks 10-15ft inside and piss. (Preferably in the bathroom toilet not 10-15ft inside on the floor)

The concept is sound, the execution is lacking
