Gear that I would never buy

PeeSport

[David Thomas]

Now, only $50 instead of $80!

I’ll stick with my Gatorade bottle that’s lighter and which was free from the recycling bin.

[JCH]

Dood…that’s what a bush is for. Did an Influencer recommend that?  :)

To quote Dimitri Martin: “Hiking is just walking where it is ok to pee”.

[Jerry Adams]

if you were in your tent during a blizzard or rain storm then that bottle would be useful

David’s solution would work just as good, weigh less, cost less (zero)

Winter camping = pee bottle. Always.

As Dave T says, a Gatorade bottle serves well. The new contents will look right at home.

[Terran Terran]

I wonder what the “sport” is.

[AK Granola]

Fully 3/4  of the junk YouTube influencers recommend as stocking stuffers or xmas gifts, are things I would never buy. Lots of crap out there just waiting for a post-holiday landfill. When backpacking, less really is more – fun.

[Brad W]

But can you attach a filter to it?

[David D]

That’s what my 32 oz soft side wide mouth nalgene is for.  Now make it 40oz and we’d really have something!

[Terran Terran]

That awkward moment when you realize you should have brought a 40…

[David D]

Also known as 5am?

Someone posted the results of a study that said the body cant hold more than 32 oz.  Damn lies and statistics!

[Terran Terran]

Now we’re just bragging…

Not going too far down this rabbit hole. 5am is often the coldest part of the day. Jerry makes a point about being useful.

The advantages  of a Gatorade bottle may vary be gender. They have a wide mouth (the bottle), plenty of volume, they’re cheap to replace. They have a good volume to height ratio. Disadvantages are they don’t pack easy and create dead space. Slightly heavy. For the modest, they  don’t hide the content.

The PeeSport.  Collapsible would be an advantage.  Poor volume to length ratio unless you’re standing. They hide contents. They look to heavy. Throwing away is discouraged by the price.
Laughable. Not a terrible idea. I think it could be redesigned using a water bladder. A filter for the hardcore.^^^^

Moving on…

[MJ H]

That’s obviously not going to hold any urine. Is there an outer bag or something?

[Terran Terran]

Hiker humor. Trail talk. If you know, you know.

[David D]

I’d be too groggy to safely hit the Gatorade opening.  The Nalgene bladder is a safe target.

Its collapsible but weighs 2.1 oz so only bring it shoulder season if heavy rain is forecasted.  Nothing worse than getting wet @ 40F then crawling back into bed.  Had to use it a few times.

[Terran Terran]

Too easy a target takes the “sport” out of it.

1.7 ounce for the 32 oz Gatorade bottle. $1.72

2.1 ounce for the 32 oz Nalgene canteen. $25 (collapsible)

[Brian Curtis]

They haven’t sold Gatorade in 32 oz bottles for several years. They are 28 oz now.

[MJ H]

They haven’t sold Gatorade in 32 oz bottles for several years. They are 28 oz now.

But the colon cleanse instructions before a colonoscopy still assume you can buy 32 oz Gatorade to mix with laxatives.

[Terran Terran]

I’m so out of touch.🤠

[Roger Caffin]

I did try Gatorade once (only). The idea of drinking even 28 floz of it does not appeal.

Cheers

[Thom]

The thought of drinking 28oz of gator aid pale in comparison to the next part !!
Thom

[Roger Caffin]

errrrr yes.

[Daryl and Daryl]

Wife and I both use a 2 liter soda bottle cut in half. Much easier target.  Must pour it out right after use.  Not a secure storage container for inside the tent.

[AK Granola]

Dudes, you already have the part you need, don’t you? Just go outside behind a tree (that no one leans on). Don’t buy or bring anything else. My two cents as a female; even I don’t need anything. Nature already figured this out for us.
