"There is nothing hygenic about carrying a pee bottle around, not to mention its unneccesary."
How old are you, Michael? At my age, a pee bottle is a neccessity ;)
Oct 21, 2012 at 5:12 pm #1923503At your age you might as well wear Depends.
Oct 21, 2012 at 5:20 pm #1923505Michael:
Common practice (and common sense)is to empty the bottle in the morning and rinse it out several times before packing it up. Mine rides in an outside mesh pocket.
Oct 21, 2012 at 5:32 pm #1923506If you're having hygiene problems with a pee bottle, I suggest peeing in it, not on it.
Oct 21, 2012 at 5:37 pm #1923510You might as well just get up and go outside at that point.
Oct 21, 2012 at 5:45 pm #1923513I can only imagine the conversation when someone asks "And what is that bottle for?". "That's my pee bottle".
"Oh…. Well I gotta go now".
Oct 21, 2012 at 8:20 pm #1923548Don't like pee bottles? Now suppose you were to install a small grommet in your single wall tent with a pocket sewed on the inside. Give it a good seam sealing and…viola! you too could be one of the elite few with an ultra light urinal in your tent. geez, I should get one of those vanity patents.

The toughest man I've ever met, a wild adventurer by the name of Doug Stufflebeam, was a stalwart advocate of the pee bottle, especially in jungle environs. If Doug used it, it can't be wrong!
Personally, I enjoy getting out of the shelter and wandering around for pee breaks. But, as mentioned above, I'm 25, so it's usually only once per night :)

I use one specifically to help prevent fully coming out of sleep.
I can only imagine the conversation when someone asks "And what is that bottle for?". "That's my pee bottle".
I had someone tweaking the bottle hanging off my pack, wondering what it was for until I told him. I bet it's the last time he plays with someone else's bottle, especially when it appears to have a little gatorade left in it.
Oct 22, 2012 at 12:45 am #1923587Actually, i was just wondering why you fellers couldn't just aim the pee out the shelter instead of using the bottle….
Yeah, I went there. Again.
See what happens when somebody asks about a Gatewood Cape? Who knew? :)
