I'm assuming it so you don't have to crawl out of your warm cozy sleeping bag and tent in the middle of the night.
I guess I can understand that, though I think a female would be more likely to make this choice. The mechanics of peeing and all…anyway as has been mentioned already, choices like that don't usually go hand-in-hand with the UL mindset. The philosophy as I undertstand it is "don't take what you don't need, take the lightest weight items you can, and wherever possible use multi-purpose items." It's all about discovering how little we really need, and we don't need a bottle to pee inJul 3, 2009 at 5:28 pm #1511949I first heard about this in Mark Twight's book. A pee bottle seriously helps get a good night's sleep in cold condition and winter when you can have very long nights and staying hydrated ( hence having to pee) is crucial. It's hardly a women thing.
Jul 3, 2009 at 5:41 pm #1511951Stakes go in a small silnylon bag that came with the tarptent. Sil bag goes in righ bottom pocket of my gg 'posa plus.
Pee in bottle when cold, yes. Not in summer.Jul 3, 2009 at 5:42 pm #1511952OK I stand corrected
Jul 3, 2009 at 5:45 pm #1511953Just read the whole thread, socks is a great idea. Few mire grams gone. Thanks.
Jul 3, 2009 at 5:48 pm #1511955I just use a ziploc baggie in winter… put it in the vestibule, let it freeze, just turn it inside out in the morning to empty… light…

Jul 4, 2009 at 3:34 am #1512000I pack the stakes in a tiny silnylon sack which is also used for aid in throwing my rope over a tree for bear bag hanging. Just put a rock in the sack and toss.
pee bottle…nope. I get up, go outside and pee and look up at the sky and see a bazillion stars. Doesn't matter how cold it is. If the weather is bad, oh well. I just throw on a jacket. I guess in a sense, I'm marking my territory!
