Wilderness Leak Taking

[hollowdweller]

Speaking of late night wilderness leaks 2 stories:

One time I woke up and there were little mice and a possum running around the fire ring to see if we had left anything. ( was wearing a headlamp)

Another time it was barely light and I walked over near the riverbank so I could look out at the river and there was this big ball beside me, but it was too dark to see what it was and I didn't have my glasses on.

When I finally got up a few hours later and walked over that way to climb down the bank to get some water I realized it was a massive yellow jacket nest a skunk or some animal had dug up over night and I don't know if I scared them off when I got up the first time or what but it was about as big as a volleyball and crawling with yellow jackets. I guess my rule of never messing with stuff in the dark that I didn't see before it got dark paid off

"Tactical Urination" :thumbup:

Now there's a subject we can all relate to

Yeah, this is why I try to keep my knife in hand during the "evacuation". You just never know when you have to tactically deanimate someone while you're taking a piss.

Right. Or bushcraft an outhouse.

This is a great idea! If I had used dayglo tent pegs instead of my big-ol' flashlight on my last camping trip, I might not have been threatened with a citation by a ranger!

Maybe I should use night vision next time.

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

HD, That line reminds me of something I read once but have to paraphrase due to bad memory... "When I was a young man there was often danger of the morning piss ending up on the wall behind the toilet, as an older man- my feet are in greater peril!"

If youz guyz are anything like me, a piss in the woods is usually accompanied by sighting the largest buck of the year at cloase range!

Anyone tried the ball caps with the two small LED's in the brim for low light manuevers. I have a couple of headlamps but have not tried the hat deal.

I remember a camping trip in Boy Scouts, its about 2am ruffly and one of the scouts has to take a leak , out he goes, ends up tripping on one of the guide ropes to the Scout Masters Army Canvas tent ripping it all the way down the middle.
It made for some nice star gazing that night and we got eaten alive by mosquitos. At 10yrs old it was really funny but 30 yrs later that bugger would be learing to sew really fast.
I use my petzel head lamp whenever I go outside of the tent, along with a LARGE Busse or Swamp blade, maybe even the Mossy cruiser .
Oh yeah, those glow stakes are pretty cool. I do put orange trail marker tape in the guide ropes. it works really well.

Have a good un'

That's quality!

It's sort of like the one "A young woman has a canopy over her bed and and old woman has a can of pee beside under her bed"

This is by far one of the strangest (yet oddly entertaining) threads I've read in here for a long time...

Just make sure there is nobody with a camera nearby !!!!

I usually rock the gatorade bottle. In the summer lots of mosquitoes get in the tent when you go out to piss, and you end up being awake for 30 minutes killing off all the bugs again and if it's not the bugs it's the cold, who wants to get their feet cold and wet, or have to put boots on in the middle of the night?


On the topic of the Gatorade bottle, this summer we were flying up north to Lynn Lake in a Twin Otter (no toilets), I had the genius idea of bringing a Gatorade, 2 hours in I've REALLY gotta rock a piss and then it occurs to me--"SHIT, I HAVE TO DRINK THIS WHOLE ******* BOTTLE BEFORE I CAN PISS IN IT! DAMN IT!"

It's like something out of Greek mythology - like Sisyphus and the hill, or more appropriately, a backwards Tantalus.
