Its 4:15am and the snow has been blowing steadily since midnight. You can hear gentle snow drifts brushing softly under your tarp. You're extremely cozy--your toes are toasty, your body is wrapped up like a basket of warm biscuits, and your head rests comfortable and warmly on your down pillow. Life is looking pretty good, except for your bladder, which feels like it is going to burst at any moment. You think you can ignore it until dawn, but you recall that delightful cup of brewed hot coffee, the makings a thoughtful friend packed along, and now you have to do something about it or you'll regret it the rest of the night (and maybe the trip).
Do you pee in an empty bottle you happen to have stored on your shelf, or do you brave the elements?
We love our hammocks, but what do you do about the inevitable? Just asking.
