Camping: pee bottles

[neck beard]

Which of the bladder-style drink flasks available these days would make the best pee bottle? There are several variations on the original Camel Bag type and I'm not sure of all the brands available.

So far of the brands I know, I'm thinking the zip-mouth Platypus might work the best?

It must have a removable hose.

I've found large ziplock bags to be unreliable, hard to re-use cleanly, and you can't sleep with it you bag after relief. Naglene bottles take up too much room in my pack.

[MakersTeleMark]

Klim would do the trick.

drink it, pussy

I'll look at klim.

Personal physiology dictates that my urine be decanted into a vessel before drinking it myself. You may differ. And besides, it wouldn't solve the problem as I'd just need to pee pee a few hours later.

i stand on my head with a funnel and plastic hose like the old days in college. until i bought that hyper-water repellent shit at home depot and sprayed the inside of the hose (food grade, by the way) i had a drip problem just like any other guy. now i get every drop.

i can't believe the greek system isn't all over this means to speed delivery.

Peeing into collapsible bladders is very very dangerous. Can be done obviously but just be very careful.


I'm assuming this is for a camping warm and cozy in a tent with it stupid cold outside situation?

I draw the line. It's big, it takes up space, but there's nothing jesus has invented that beats a gatorade bottle. 64ozzzer for the whiskey nights.

Kidwoo, why is it very very dangerous? Mid-pee spillage? I've used big ziplock bags before and it required some technique and luck. I'm thinking a water bladder with an appropriate opening would require less technique. And yes, for winter storm camping.

i stand on my head

Not in my tent.

i'm very flexible. sometimes i don't even need the hose.

I do not share your physical prowess.

Yep, gatorade bottle FTW. Tie it to the outside of your pack if you must.

I use a collapsible nalgene wide mouth 1.5 l. Looks like a platypus, but wide.

You need to clean it though once in a while.

Back in the treeplanting days, no-see-ums were so fierce that getting out of the tent in the night was not an option, and a 1.5L Nalgene saved the day. As was said before, tie to outside of pack if necessary. I'd be too sketched out by the water bladder to use it by choice.

[ill-advised strategy]

liter-a-cola.



srsly


word to the wise:
when I was trucking..(sigh, it's demoralizing to even type that here, but anyways) I found that if I was going to re-use a pee bottle it was good to add a little listerine so it didn't get super foul and fill my small sleeping space with horrifying piss funk whenever I opened it.

[spook]

can't believe this is really a problem for anybody. there are any number of ways of safely eliminating in a closed space.

[Chugachjed]

Quit being pussies and go outside to pee. Jesus.

[east or bust]

I agree with him^


With a big enough plastic bag I really don't see what the problem would be if you're careful. Although I guess if it was me I'd opt for a bottle.

Or.. You could get funky and patch in a small zipper to the opposite side of the tent from the door. Problem solved.

[ak_powder_monkey]

Most folks I know use a widemouth collapsable nalgene. I pee outside like a man... Nothing worse than when your tentmate starts taking a leak while having a conversation with you.

[Chugachjed]

Nobody pees in my damn tent.

Any idiot can be uncomfortable when camping in the snow. It doesn't take much. Help yourself.

Personally, I make that extra bit of effort to avoid getting out of my bag, finding my boot liners in my bag, getting them into my frozen stiff shells, putting my boots on, opening the tent and letting all the storm accumulation spill in and spindrift blow in, wading through waist deep snow for a few steps, finding my evidently very unmanly peepee, peeing, wading back to my tent... just to drag all that storm snow back inside and into my sleeping bag during a raging storm.

[neck beard]

oh yeah, and peeing outside during a storm deprives you putting the warm pee bottle by your feet.

Only a pussy can't sleep with a bottle of pee in his bed.

[skimaxpower]

Nothing "pussy" about peeing in a bottle. People have wandered into a blizzard for a midnight piss and never come back. There's actually a safety element in addition to comfort.

I agree on the Large Gatorade bottle concept. It's light, and disposable. No need to wash it when you get home.

Also, if you're desperate enough to piss in the tent, a half-liter bottle is NOT large enough. Trust me on this.

Safety first at TGR.

A Nalgene. Surely you have one?

[XXX-er]

sometimes I'm stuck in a kayak for 7-8 hrs so I need a pee jar

the key is not mix up your pee far with your water bottle

i still think the op is overthinking

[GeezerSteve]

1L Nalgene, widemouth, of course, to get the Big Hog in there

Pee bottle in a winter storm is the tits

[neck beard]

i still think the op is overthinking

Why?

All I want is a collapsible pee bottle for 3 day ski tours where my pack is already crammed full and I don't want bottles tied to the outside. There are heaps of those collapsable bladders these days. I wondered if anyone could recommend which one was better for the task. And I wanted to talk to Spook about solo water sports. And I quietly hoped for an AK tough guy to wade in. So far so good, ey?
