Take Your Pee Outside is take on ‘take it outside’ meaning ‘take your drama outside’ only this time, it is an action someone can do for your better health and in situations where permitted/possible or on the side of a road when nature calls. Talking a pee is okay with me and very much a natural healthy every day function but more and more I see the positive side of taking a pee outside whether in a forest, a meadow, Fall or Summer.
What is Pee? Most know it as ‘number 1’ or ‘urine’ or ‘piss’ or ‘a piddle’ or even new to me ‘micturition’.
One definition AI generates:
Urine is the liquid waste product excreted by the kidneys in vertebrates, primarily composed of water, urea, uric acid, creatinine, inorganic salts, and pigments like urochrome, which gives it a yellowish color. It forms when the kidneys filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood, reabsorbing useful substances while concentrating metabolic by-products for elimination. In humans, urine is typically a clear, slightly acidic, pale yellow fluid stored in the urinary bladder and expelled through the urethra during urination. It serves as a key indicator of metabolic and renal health, with abnormalities in its composition often signaling underlying medical conditions
While the simple straight-forward definition by Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary:
the yellowish liquid waste that is released from the body when you urinate
Urine luck! This article is hydrating!

Other Purposes for Urine
- In Roman times the liquid gold was used as a cleaning agent (Ammonia), for clean white teeth, and a fertilizer for the soil (https://www.historyskills.com/classroom/ancient-history/urine-rome/)
- Used in textiles and fixing the dye as shown in the show ‘Outlander’ (scotlandinfo.eu/history-of-cloth-making-and-waulking/)
- As a diagnostic tool in medicine as in the urine tasted sweet then someone had the sugar disease or diabetes. Still today urine samples are taken to analyze contents for proteins, ketones, glucose, bilirubin, etc. to screen for diabetes, liver disease, infection, etc. (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279350/)
- Urine therapy along with cleaning wounds and eye drops (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10213804/)
- The dozens of books on urine therapy where one drinks their own urine is well documented with shared results and one book was titled ‘Cure Cancer with Urine Therapy’ (https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Benefits-Urine-Therapy-SHIVAMBU/dp/9352066502)
- Take the sting out when you stepped on a sea urchin…apparently it is a myth and not recommended but I do remember people speaking about how it worked when in Mexico
People I know did or still do urine therapy. They are still around to tell the story and did not feel any worse for doing it. Some noticed differences. These people do not often mention it in conversation “hey, did I tell you that I am drinking my own pee every day?” as the judgment stand just around the corner. People are not use to speaking about it let alone doing it. I have never done urine therapy but that doesn’t mean I would not do it if I thought it would help with something. For hydration and if I was stranded in a cave, it may save my life.
My Grandparents Had An Outhouse
Have you been some place where there was an outhouse? Maybe a portable potty? Perhaps your cottage has an outhouse? Growing up, my grandparents’ home had an outhouse just behind the house until I was about six years old then a bathroom showed up inside. My cousins and I would line-up before bed and that is why in the ole days there were chamber pots in the bedrooms for a night time pee.
Seriously, men take a pee outside a lot more than some may know…even in Toronto. Just so easy for them and saves them time. Yup, it does save me time when I am working in the garden which is 100 feet from the house or on a hike in the back woods with more time to explore. As kids, a roadside stop happened more than I can count on two hands and two feet.
