Avoiding the 4am trek to the campsite bogs

[campagman]

I tend to prevent this problem by controlling what I drink the night before. After a day cycling I am probably a bit dehydrated anyway! I know people like to have a bed time drink but I'm afraid that's your downfall. Like somebody has said before going to the pub ruins this strategy.

We have an 'En-suite' approach. It's called a Hilleberg Stalon GT which has a large vestibule and a Ortlieb folding bucket!

Just go immediately before going to bed. Always works for me.

This is purely for number 1's right?

Definitely No 1's

As the solution to this is relatively simple for men - container and good aim - does it explain why women have far greater bladder control than us guys?

I suspect it has more to do with beer consumption and willpower than anything else

Remember in the 1970s you could get those long corrugated plastic tubes (usually green) which played 'tunes' as you whirled them round above your head?

One of those would do it...

..erm...without the corrugated bits would be better....

I once shared a room with an Australian guy backpacking round Africa, he told me a great story of how to drink lager at an Aussie rules football game. To save time going to and from the toilets and also losing your place at the bar you cut up an old cycle inner tube (25mm - 35mm i am guessing) roll one end over your manhood and route the rest down your trouser leg to trail loosely on the floor. As long as you didn't tread on the end you were sorted.

Obviously this is the perfect answer to BTFB's problem.

No, that's because it takes SO long queueing for the ladies' loo that we try very hard not to go!!!

Great ingenuity bit I'm sure I could get away with a 25mm! An involuntary erection could be disastrous though!

Spike Milligan got there first in 'Rommel Gunner Who?' give or take the odd comma.

You could make yourself really popular by giving it to the kids to play with the next morning too!

Bicycle inner tube...hmmm...I like it...simple and easy to remember....also it wont look a stoopid on a bike as a whirly tube or a bed pan jobby...

...what a great conversation
