I've been searching for an answer to this question but have never found one, so I was wondering if a SEAL could answer it for me? How do SEALs and other special operations men relieve themselves out in the field without giving away their position or leaving a trace of their presence in the area? If you're on a recon mission I would think that leaving your hide and going behind a bush just wouldn't cut it.

Well, it starts off with the hygiene kits issued to you in your field gear and even the napkins equipped in MREs. You just dig a hole do the dirt, tear the two ply apart poke a hole, wipe with a finger, wipe your finger with the paper, bury it as well and go about your business. Not so hard to do. But, as far as urine, if the enemy is good enough to distinguish your urine from his dogs....he is quite talented.

LMAO!
In vietnam we had an aircraft with a humongous propeller and an automobile muffler on the engine. This bird could fly over a place at 50 feet at night and you couldn't hear it! On board was a device that detected urine concentrations.
We called the aircraft the "Sniffer" and when it found high concentrations of urine, we would call in the fast movers and bomb the hell out of the area. Unfortunately, for the local wildlife, it's couldn't differentiate between Human Urine, Primate Urine or any other animals' urine for that matter. My company sometimes was tasked to do a recon of areas hit during these "Sniffer Missions" for battle damage assessment. We found lots of dead monkies and other animals in the woods and not so many dead VC or PAVN in base camps. The ONLY burning question that was ever answered definitivly by the Sniffer flights was.....YES..BEARS **** IN THE WOODS.
