Night time wee breaks

[rcastillo]

Cards on the table! The worst part of camping for me is that I've left my en suite behind. Getting out of a warm sleeping bag, climbing out of a comfy hammock, fumbling with shoes and then walking to somewhere suitable ... it's a serious faff!!

Has anyone come up with a suitable alternative?

I'm particularly keen for ideas with festival season coming up (not exactly bushcraft, I admit!). Toilets tend to be a long way away, and bedtime is sure to have been proceeded by much beer.

nalgene bottle, although i dont find the neck wide enough.............. lol :rolleyes

A wide mouth nalgene makes a good pee bottle, just make sure you can identify it in the dark in case you get thirsty

EDIT:

Must type faster

But I was faster than you Stu

Wide-mouth Nalgene bottle and careful aim for me. Makes a good bed heater too

That works for me as well.

Lidl sell 'nalgeneish' bottles for barely a few quid from time to time. THey come in 'wee yellow' already so recognition is easy!

Oh, hang on. I may be on to something.

I wouldn't trust that lid though.

A used pop bottle works too, so long as you get the wide mouthed bottles such as Oasis. Sorry ladies, you'll have to get a wash bowl!

It is definitely worth getting up when you need to go, otherwise you will get cold and your sleep will suffer.

When car camping I find a plastic milk bottle ideal. They come in nice big sizes so you don't have to worry about overfilling when you wake up feeling like your back teeth are floating and you can bin them at the end of the week.

I hate to be so mundane but I have a bucket.

I've lost count of the number of times I've laid in my hammock (without a pee bottle) hoping the urge would go away. In the end I get up and then I'm straight back off to sleep, it's the getting out that's the hard part.

Yep, I'm the same, get up and go, then back to sleep.

i suppose in a hammock you could 'hang' over the side and pee lol

and as for that bottle with a lid, you could get a carabiner and hang it from the ridgeline, or out the hammock etc on a piece of paracord

another alternative is to get some conveen and leg bags. google both they work really well at all you can drink **** ups lol, where the drinks are free till you break the seal

+1 for large nalgene bottle...with loads of gaffa tap and florry tape stolen from work stuck to it!!!

 

[maddave]

Comfort fabric conditioner bottle works well. But if you want to be posh like a pilot, get one of these...

I must admit that I just get up and satisfy the urge and then back to bed. The key is to get up as soon as you feel the need and don't procrastinate about it. I also quite like the sleepy not quite real feeling walking about the woods still asleep - plus when you get back in the hammock / bivi it feels awesome

A condom with the end cut off, the tube and drinking bladder from your mates camel back. Thread the tube into the condom, then fit condom.................... this actually sounds like it might work!!! sorry I use a nalgene bottle!!!
