    Fess Up

    How many of you exit the hammock during the middle of the night when nature calls? Asking for a friend.....

    Seriously, depending on where I am camping and the location of my shoes and pack, I have found a much more convenient method!

    I consider the ability to open the bugnet and roll onto my side to be one of the great advantages of hammocking, and I'm certainly not alone in that sentiment.

    But I have pissed on my shoes before. Let he who says he hasn't pass the first kidney stone.

    Only when I’m not camping.

    Two issues:

    1. Pissing on the spot where I'll be making my breakfast in a few hours time doesn't appeal to me.

    2. Pissing out of my hammock while half asleep in the middle of the night means there's a very good chance I'll get it on shoes, UQ, or pack. Even worse, I might fall out of hammock, possibly into a fresh pool of piss. Or my TQ might fall into the piss. Basically something bad will happen for sure, and I'll be pissed off.

    Sometimes in the glades when the bugs are really angry I’ll go in a Gatorade bottle. But never hang it out and go right in my camp.

    So what is the much more convenient method?

    Personally, I get up, walk a few feet downwind and take care of it.

    This topic comes up often enough that it seems some people think it's a significant problem. OK then.

    That's actually a pretty good excuse. Those skeeters down there can be horrendous.

    Right now at 31 years old, I don't wake up to use the bathroom at night. But I don't feel super keen on peeing right in my camp.

    At one point I spent the time to compile all the pee/pee bottle/urinate more often threads. It was a few...maybe even a dozen.

    I'll get out of the hammock, depending on how awake I am at that moment depends on how far past my tarp I go.
    If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
