If you are a man, yes. Try pissing outside as a woman.
Not only will you have to worry about being seen squatting with your ass out, you will also have to make sure that no pointy twigs or blades of grass stab your tender buttocks. But oh, we aren't done yet: good fucking luck doing the squatting dance while you piss to make sure the urine doesn't trickle toward your shoes and we haven't even begun talking about what happens if the piss beam decides to fracture into two, three or four high pressure streams that will zap in every other direction than down. Dance, monkey, dance, or your socks and shoes will be baptized in yellow.
I would personally, rather take a shit in the cat litter if I was forced to choose. At least the log will respect gravity.
