Overflowing your bottle

[atraildreamer]

Nice yellow sleeping baq you have there ...OH! Never mind...

[hikerboy57]

i still want to know if sidesaddle is preferred over kneeling in ones tent. alot less trouble to take few steps outside

[Malto]

Bivies are even better than tents for the middle of the night missions.

Now lets discuss the how-too's of deification in a 1gal. zip lock bag, ya know, birthing the angry turtle head...it's been a while!

[treesloth]

abnormal and failure to conform is healthy. be unique, live long, and die strong and fast. or you can contract pecker to lips disease by drinking from you stupid pee bottle. your choice. you do you and i will go the opposite.

You and Irishbastard should hang out.

i dont understand the concept of the bottle. you travel with a bottle for the sole purpose to pee in? why? why not just go pee in the woods like normal people. with all the concerns over carrying the extra grams on WB why on earth would you carry a bottle to pee in. oh wait, never mind, you recycle. u pee in it at night because ur are to effing lazy to get ur lazy butt out of the shelter or tent. and then drink out of it during the day. or u r one of those that leave it at the shelters. either way it is pretty effing gross.

Wow man, I largely agree with you... But why the anger? If people want to pee in a bottle then that's fine, just keep your bottle away from me.

Boy oh boy, if only pecker to lips WERE fatal. My ex would be ancient history.

Awesome! PYOP

While on a shakedown hike this weekend I thought of an old thread saw on this subject. I was on Tumbledown Mountain in Weld Maine. Temperatures were in the 20's. I was sleeping in a bag rated for 45 and in a bivy. About 2 AM I had the urge and thought, "I wonder if the bottle trick would have been worth it?" I left my cocoon and did my business. Even in those conditions it seemed like it would be less work to use the ground as it would be to use a bottle.

For some reason I thought of the movie Dumb & Dumber.

Love the cop. "You fellas been tipping back on some of grandpa's old cough medicine?"

Not laziness...when the winds are blowing 45 miles per hour @ 2 in the morning, it's just easier to stop, drop, and flow.

It was and I did... outside my bivy and tarp.

I've failed to go outside and pee only once. Camping during bow season a few years back, woke up with the urge, thought it will only be another hour before I get up anyway so I'll wait, went back to sleep and started dreaming.... I was standing in a sand ditch where I squirrel hunted when I was young, drilling a hole in the sand,.........

Should work well for stomach sleepers.

Well, some of us are very susceptible to "SHRINKAGE" even the slightest of breezes can make a difference....it's a Scottish thing.

In Mexico I believe it's pronounced ..."Lil' Pingo"

See, that's what I'm saying. But snifur, the manly man that he is, doesn't agree. Nor do I need him (or anyone else) to. What's 'gross' to me is the sheer amount of people on the trail who likely practice no safe after-relief sanitation practices. I'm sure there would be a lot less sickness if everyone were a bit more vigilant about that. But I digress.

[snifur]

sloth, you introduce a great point. sanitation is integral to a successful hike with health. i prefer to remain clean and pee away from my body and away from others. it was taught to me before i was two years old. i am fully potty trained. people like you evidently are bladder control challenged and require emergency pee procedures in the event of a crisis. i am not judging you. i am judging all pee bottle users for their lack of decency. during my thru i can not count how many people peed from inside the shelter. some would stand and pee off the edge. on one occasion i witnessed the result of the baggie technique and the horror of the female that received the effects of said baggie. others would use the bottle. the bottle use produces a distinct sound during the filling process. let me ask you- do you carry a gallon jug and pass it around at night to share with your hiking buddies or is everyone left to decide their own method for pee depository and disposal?
