On the basis of much experimentation with trees (and no
straw bales) I find that this can be a sex specific
problem. In order to reduce urine splash for males, two
straw bales would be in order, one upright as the primary
target and one in front laying down to absorb splash (to
keep it off my shoes).
For females while the usual tree approach is possible, the
lack of training will reduce accuracy making the bale in
front even more necessary. For those who require seats and
other such creature comforts, make it happen and decrease
the general misery.
The bale idea seems to be a solution with no substantial
problem. Such of us who can make use of the trees, have
found a more sustainable solution in that trees have the
immediate use of it.
