    Pee jar?

    This morning my last few hours of sleep was not best in my HH, bottom entry. I had to go pe pe so bad, and being stubborn like I am. I ignored it, as usual. more so now that i sleep in the HH. thinking about all the navigating i need to do just to get out, getting in again, get fully tucked in and such. I probably peed off my bladder to be sure today
    Wondering has anybody actually tried (in hammock) using a p bottle with success? or hey, tried without success? if ya wanna share that too?

    Theres a good chance I'll give this a go one day?, I'm sure...? I have to know!
    'It was meant to happen?'

    Its how you use what just happened to make the best of everything that follows. - me, I just said that.

    I usually get out of my hammock to take a leak. But..... There has been a time or two when the empty bottle was essential. Not even so much getting out of the hammock. You can still jump out of the hammock and leak in the bottle under your tarp. But I guess at that point you might as well take a couple more steps. Unless it's pouring *** rain.

    Guess you guys would never buy any used gear from Dutch then......

    I've never seen a "pee in your hammock" thread shut down by the mods. I do find it highly educational to find out which nasty HF members find this type of behavior acceptable. To paraphrase a quotation from Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, "Sunshine is the best disinfectant," though in this case, sunshine will not remove the pee smell from your hammocks and quilts.

    Pee jar?

    I was simply saying I don't find this thread going much further as in, "yes I use a Gatorade bottle or this or that" out of fear of hindering a the sale of their hammock. I use bottles in my deer stand and it gets the job done, but you have to be VERY careful or it likely to get a little wet.

    Just so you know, when you sleep in your bed at home, it's possible to empty your bladder just before bedtime and not have to go until you wake. In a hammock, the body has a much more relaxed posture and it helps to fill the bladder better/faster while you sleep. This usually results in a 3am call.

    Some of the best stuff happens in the woods around this time. It's something you should be ready for everytime you plan your trip and your trees. Make sure you have a clear path to your "bathroom" for this chore.

    Get used to and familiarize yourself with the hammock and bedding to make this chore a lot more bearable because it's a nightly event.

    Enjoy your hammock and keep having fun.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you
