I call bull sh*it.
"Number 2" is a different story, there ARE LNT ethics regarding that.
So. It's OK to pee into a water source?
Actually, you are correct, and I am surprised. I
TEACH LNT, and when I double-checked the text it doesn't specifically address urination, but it does address wastewater (I do cover proper locations for urination in my classes).
Except for the food chunks, I would consider urine as wastewater, wouldn't you? Yeah, I know it's usually sterile, but I still don't want to have to drink it downstream. Please, get 200' away from water sources.
