anyone use a pee bottle while camping

[davefb]

only camping i get to do now is glastonbury,,, yes , definately a pee container!

its normally like a sort of krypton factor escape course trying to navigate the tents and guy ropes at the best of times, so at night with full bladder, no chance!




mind you, i do think this does contribute to the condensation in the morning

I clench. I rarely get up to pee in the night despite copious alcoholic intake, although cycling in a hot country and being slightly dehydrated probably helps.

If I've had a few beers and think there may be a possibility, I usually just tie a knot in it.

Just pee in your cooking pan, rinse it out in the morning and get the porridge on. No problems.

Remind me never to accept a cuppa from you if we meet!Lol

+1 for a bottle user. Has transformed my camping pleasure

Not all pitches are suitable, but that's the preferred plan. For blokes anyway.

works fine for women as well only we don't stand. Love watching the stars and listening to the other wild life.

But I have to confess that the time it was -18C outside, I only got as far as the extension and a cooking pot - just had to make sure that it was not the one with the porridge already in it - anything that was liquid during the day had to be moved to its cooking pot before it froze.

-18c? Are you mad or is that a typo!

Ah, I thought we'd done this one before!

I suppose if you spend enough time on a popular forum, most questions come round again eventually...

Like others I get up and pee outside the tent.

Last year on a tour in France we met up with a guy who had cut a length of old inner tube so one end was outside the tent and he peed through it. We couldn't resist the urge one night to sqeeze the end and put a peg on it.

Another solution is a 'Uribag', but quite expensive.

Alone....really, I wonder why ;-)

No but then I drain down thoroughly before retiring. Although as I get older the need to pee becomes more pressing so I try to drink less coffee. The consumption of which I find makes me need to pee more often .

like it - but it is not what you think - my other half tried cancelling our long waited for holiday becuase of work commitments, told me he had got a hire car from work and that I could stay at home for the week with the car (we are rural with no neighbours and no public transport). I politely told him no way in h... and went by my self.

After a certain temperature, it doesn't really make much difference but it is really beautiful waking up with a layer of ice over your sleeping bag and on the inside of the tent - you are warm as toast, but that ice sparkles in the daylight but only lasts 10-15mins once you get up.

As for the alone - these are some of the photos I made whilst up there alone Buachaille Etive Mòr, The Clouds that Made the Picture, Loch Etive Light and 3 of my favourites Mirror Image, Loch Tulla I, Loch Tulla Panorama and The Magic of Freezing Fog.

Some cracking photos there... My mother comes from near Oban and we used to go up there for a long holiday every summer. I must take a bike up and explore!
