Will be less hazardous with these. Plus they are fiberglass so they're light.

I had to think about what this thread was about... :D

Orange tape works better. the "glowiness" of the glow-in-the-dark things ago away after awhile.
 
catheter, man.

don't stop, don't stop. Put on an extension for tent work.

:)
 
ok, at first i thought this was a thread about pissing in the woods. Then i saw the implements of torture and i thought ":what the hell is Hollowdweller into? pain/bondage in the woods? each to their own thats cool". Then i saw that they glowed and i thought "this dude has some kind of glow in the dark catheter wearing fetish in the woods! agian, each to their own, thats cool."

now i realize they are GID tent pegs, and yes, they would would make taking a whiz a lot safer at night, no more tripping over the guylines of the tent.

lol.
 
I am on my cell so this is a limited viewing website for me, I can only assume this is about peeing. I am Texan, if its outside I can pee on it. As Kinky Friedman said "Dont be shocked to see a Texan peeing outside". Oh ya.... I am drunk, so ignore me.
 
You could go super hardcore and get some titanium stakes and put tritium inserts in them. That might cost a tiny bit more than the GITD plastic ones though. :)
 
In keeping with true WSS multi-functional-gear tradition, hollowdweller has hit upon user-friendly tent pegs that double as helpful beacons for curious wildlife. ;)

In all seriousness, though, that's a pretty neat idea. I think I would prefer GID caps that can be added on top of my metal pegs once they have been hammered in. That way you get the strength of metal with some additional visibility.

All the best,

So, do you think you can smack 'em as hard as the horrible orange nylon ones without them shattering?
 
Another option I've considered is just swapping out my guy-lines with the reflective types...unless I'm in a tactical sitatuation, I use a headlamp (leaves both hands free and keeps the light from getting wet:D:D) when nature calls.

+1 -- I just got back from a trip this past weekend and used both a headlamp and the reflective guy lines. Those reflective cords light up like a Christmas tree when you get any light on them.

Actually the tent tabs on my tent are reflective.

I'm glad this thread provoked a lot of speculation and ingenuity among you guys

"Tactical Urination" :thumbup:

Now there's a subject we can all relate to:D
 
LOL. This thread cracks me up. Do you guys really walk away from the tent to piss? I usually unzip, stand with my feet inside and go for it. We're not living there for months anyway.

Depends how absorbent the ground is.;) Also most backpacking tents too short to stand up in. I'd be pissing on my knees.
