So, here is one I have had to deal with for some time now. My wife loves camping....car camping that is...where there is a built in fire place, restrooms, showers, etc. She is becoming a backpacker...HOWEVER! The dreaded bathroom issue is still lingering....
So, we went backpacking last week as a family. Myself, my lovely bride and my two sons (9 & 13).
Using the bathroom in the woods is very unsetteling to her for some reason.
So, here is what I did for her. You may think it to be overboard, but hey, atleast I was able to get her to backpack with me...5 months pregnant ha! She loved it and wanted to go, so shut up!....:banana
I pack a 6x8 tarp and some paracord....found two tree and literally made her an outhouse...I had a rope that went from the tent to her "outhouse". On the tent side of the rope I had a dry sack with all you would need in it....
What you all done to solve this problem? Any other suggestions? Heaven forbid...#2 arrives at camp....:confused:
