Feminine mid-night calls of nature

Kimberly,
Actually, the freshette has heavy duty bags that work with the freshette for times when you can't or don't want to go outside. My sister uses them all time, no mishaps. I prefer to go outside and commune with nature, like Sarbar. ;-)

Hi everybody! First, thank you all for sharing your experience and knowledge – it has been a great help to me and my pack is getting lighter and I am having more fun every year. This is my first post – obviously a topic that really moves me! I am 60, have to pee 2 to 3 times per night and am a very light sleeper. If I get out there and get a glimpse of the stars and the moon, I find it so stimulating that I want to stay up and can't get back to sleep. That's the main reason why I sleep in my MSR Hubba.
(I'm flying over next summer to hike the JMT for the third time.) I also freeze easily, carry very little clothing and often sleep in everything I am packing. I am reluctant to crawl out of my down bag, but I just shove it aside and pee into a Nalgene Cantene – 80g/2,8oz.- a clean solution, holds plenty and is specially an advantage when you have to camp at a public campground. Shoot, I know people over here in Germany who drink their own urine for the health benefits – fortunately I've never felt bad enough to do that!

Aiming the urine is what the device is for. And you don't have to squat or pull down your pants. You kneel and just open your fly.
