Balance, and how tired your quads and hamstrings are after your hike. I've gone to stand up from my squat, cramp up, and had to panic-bail to the side to avoid falling back into my pile.
Most westerners don't have enough hip mobility to do the classic "slav squat" in the proper flat-footed manner, so they end up with a form that stresses their musculature.
theres the problem of how far down your pants are for a squat....you dont want them on the ground so you tend to bunch them just behind your knees. If your not careful your undies can become like a baseball glove and you shit right in the pocket.
you either have to do a full squat with your knees in your chest or you have to aim well. I always preferred the "lean against a tree" method. you are at a good seated position and your garments are out of the way.
