[pct-l] Bathroom stops revisited

[Kathi]

So all of this peeing in containers in the tent made me wonder if the 
smell would attract bears or other critters. A search on the internet 
says that it does. So what is the consensus on that? Has anyone read 
anything? I don't think I will try and pee in my tent just because with 
my luck I will get it all over my sleeping bag or spill it or something. 
I am curious about it attracting critters though if you have a container 
in your tent or go just outside your tent to relieve yourself. Thoughts?
