Peeing in the night

[WingedMonkey]

not small bladders, just large prostates.

I can understand that. My father has been dealing with prostate cancer, he carries a bottle or jar everywhere.

Now for another thread splitter...what about pooping in the night?

You mean a Poo canister or something?, I am going to pass this one but thanks for the suggestion.

Does the thread title make anyone else think of the song, "Strangers In The Night?"

A quart size ziplock bags works fine for women - just squat on your knees, hold the bag open between your legs and go - zip up the bag, place it outside the door. I have never had an accident in the tent with this method.

I was tent bound for nearly 3 days due to a huge storm system a few years ago, going outside even for a moment meant everything was going to get very wet, very quickly, and it was already rather cold due to elevation... So I unfortunately had to turn my rather small vestibule into a latrine. Dug a 5x5x12in hole in the ground and used it for all my necessities. Would throw another layer of dirt over it every use, but still, was a very smelly 3 days. Collected water using the ventilation on my fly, just opened it and held a bottle up for 5min or so.

But normally at night I use a spare 1gal ziplock... Haven't busted one open yet, and I pray that I won't.

And I'm not saying I've done this of course , but a 1gal ziploc full of warm fluid really does keep your feet warm on a cold night.

That's better than giving him the opportunity to say "It's just missin'....."

RIGHT before I read your post, I thought of that !!

How about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyQVjGdJ60g esp. for us with the enlarged prostates?

As for the previous pooping question: not until after my A.M. coffee, 2 miles up the Trail.

Make sure your tent flap is open.

You folks must have small...bladders.

I don't trust anything smaller than a wide mouth quart Nalgene.

I have personally (on rare occasions) exceeded two liters. My pee bottle now is a 3-liter container salvaged from a coffee shop coffee carton bladder. Weighs about the same as a platy or Evernew but has a wide mouth like a Gatorade. It can also serve as a backup water container (once rinsed out) should I need it.

You can get a WAG bag that will allow you to (carefully) poo in your shelter without leaving it. I routinely bring WAG bags on winter trips when ground is frozen and there is no snow cover to thaw it so that a cathole can be dug. I have used one successfully inside my shelter as a test. Just sayin' it can be done, not that it would be my first choice.

I hadn't expected this thread to run to four pages. People need to unburden themselves I guess.
