My daughter (6 yrs) wants to be able to wee in the woods like her little brother (3 1/2 yrs), Is it ok for her to do this or should I not let her brother do it anymore?
If so how do i teach her - showing her myself must be a last resort!

What's the context here? Is this opposed to holding it in? Holding it in is very bad for her (not to mention unpleasant), so, yes, she should be allowed to go.
Or does she think it would be fun, somehow?
Maybe letting her, so she experiences what an inconvenience it is and stops bugging you about it.
Teach her? Peeing doesn't need to be taught, as such, so I'm not sure what you mean.
Of course, she can't really do it "like her little brother" can she?
(This question reminds me of the joke about the little girl and boy who, when going in the woods, meet up behind the same bush. As she laboriously makes a twig-free space and goes through the whole routine, he simply unzips and ta-da. She looks at him and says "what a handy thing to have on a picnic!")
I'm afraid I just don't understand the purpose of your question. I don't get what's wrong with it, or why it's an issue at all.
Context?

You never know when peeing in the woods might be a last resort for her! I think you should at least teach her how to do it, just in case. As for teaching her, I'm clueless.

My 6 year old goes out in the woods when she has her soccer practices (there are no restrooms out there). Just tell her to squat in an almost sitting position so she won't wet her clothes. And I carry pocket sized tissue.
If she has to go #2-I drive all the way down to the nearest store or restraunt.

sorry, but i have to answer with a question
what does your little girl do if she's in the woods, and needs to pee? do you forbid her to? then what does she do?
jesus h christ, she's a kid!!!! let her pee in the woods. tell her to go behind a tree or something, and make sure she knows HOW to pee in the open, ie without peeing all over her clothes etc

Just show her how to squat without actually doing the wee, then when the time comes and she needs to do it just tell her what else she needs to do, for example, pulling her clothes and undies out of the way so they don't get caught midstream... She'll get the hang of it.

i think 6yrs is too big for her to think of peeing in da woods. But anyway it's normal for a little girl to want to be like her brother. Don't bother coz in time she will get shy and stop.

if it is the last resort and no other rest rooms are around then i think it will be ok but explain that (young ladies ) DONT go potty outside .

Very bizarre question but if she has to go, she has to go...no matter where. I wouldn't specifically take her to the woods to pee though. That's a bit strange.
And if you do show her, you can do it without actually peeing.

I think I would tell her how to do it but also tell her it is to be used as a last resort...just like it is inappropriate for a little boy to urinate outside!
