I love hiking and camping and never thought twice about it until a friend told me this. I think she is full of it! Is this bull poop?

What else are you supposed to do when there is no potty for a mile and you are on foot?

They may NOT fine you, they can and may cite you. There may be a fine associated with the citation, but the forestry service, as the highway patrol, sheriff, police, etc., do not fine, they cite. You may contest the citation or perhaps pay a preestabllished fine, but the actual administration of a fine is by the courts. The courts may even dismiss the citation, they do not dismiss a fine.
Depending on the area you relieved yourself it could be construed as indecent exposure, but unless there were nearby outhouses or toilets (and you state there were not), the forestry service would have a hard time having the citation upheld. Knowing this, they probably would not show up in court and the citation will automatically be dismissed.

Go behind a big tree. I think your friend is lying, cause rangers probably poop in the woods, so they probably pee all the time.

An Asian friend of mine was caught doing this and he was charged with indecent exposure but when the case went to court the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence.

it's worse than that, in some states you can be charged with indecent exposure for public urination and you can be forced to register as a sex offender (true stories, at least in MO)

They have all the rights that a cop has.
Yosemite rangers even have a jail.

When you got to go you got to go. Just don't stand next to a busy road and pee at passing cars.

Yes, but they will only if they catch you doing it on a trail, or in a campsite, or if people are complaining about it.

I'm not sure, but I say go, because they give the other animals a right to pee, why can't we?

Yes, you get a fine for being an exhibitionist.
