If I have to go, I just hold it in until I get to wherever I'm going and let it loose in a porta-potty, public restroom, warehouse bathroom, wherever. To openly admit that you are squatting over a cat litter box - well, it's just plain wrong. Funnels and coolers and all this other bizarre stuff - where do you people come up with this stuff? I drove for a long, long time over the road - in all the major cities, in all the rush hour traffic, etc etc etc - didn't have pee bottles then, either.
Dude, you ever been camping? Mine is a purchased camp-site "johnny pot". Get a grip,sometimes, as others have stated, ya gotta do, what ya gotta do, including "urinating out of site in bushes" or what ever.....

It's funny that I came across this thread right now. I am sitting at a truckstop outside of Houston. I am up in the front of my truck playing on my laptop. I looked out my right side mirror just a few minutes ago. Just in time to see the Werner driver beside me watering his fifth wheel. We are parked less that 100 feet from the building. I can not understand why some drivers are so lazy.

I have seen this myself over my years of driving and don't understand this either.

Nothing wrong with peeing in a bottle. I do agree how you dispose of it is the real issue and chucking it out the window on the highway is the wrong way to go about it.

I was in Wyoming in February and I woke up in the middle of the night having to pee real bad. I got dressed, threw on the coat and opened the door to step out and piss.

I didn't make it off the top step before that bone chilling -20 wind hit me and I went right back in the truck and pissed in my mt bug juice bottle. You know, animals have been pissing and defecating on the dirt for millions of years, and that's where my pee goes, right back to mother earth.

Pour it out on the dirt people and either throw the bottle away or rinse it out for future use. There is a product called traveljohn that works well for women and men both. Although, I don't like it because it doesn't seal but it's a good product for those emergency situations.

Yes, I've been camping - like hundreds of times since I was a kid. I never said doing it out in the open wilderness was a bad thing - I just think peeing into bottles and funnels and coolers and whatever else you people are coming up with is totally bizarre and - strange behavior.

"Open wilderness" is getting farther away every year, and it ain't nowhere near a major metropolitan area...which is where most of the customers are.

You have a problem with me using a bottle? Tell you what, next time we're both stuck in one of those major cluster bungles in LA--you know, where someone wrecked up ahead and traffic doesn't move an inch for about three hours--tell me what you're driving and I'll whiz in your window, OK?

Sorry if I seem a little harsh, but you're coming off like a Monday Morning Quarterback here. I'd rather use a bottle than hang my ding-dong out the door or window for all and sundry to witness. I'd rather other drivers find ways to contain their waste rather than soiling their pants, their truck, or creating a spectacle that might offend others or get the driver tagged as a "sex offender."*

Now, as to the disposal of said bottle and its contents, this should be done in such a way as to cause minimal environmental and social concern. And if you see a driver--er, scumbag--tossing any garbage out onto the road or parking lot, particularly a pee bottle, I consider it your duty as a citizen to return the obviously 'lost property.' Through their window. At high velocity.




* Any cop who has the gall to write someone up for IE in this situation is a disgrace to his/her badge. Yes, I said it.

OMG, I am nearly crapping my pants laughing at this dude who keeps referring to things as "Bizarre." God, I am not a big fan of pee-bottles but even I am willing to admit that I do it occasionally because I would rather do that than try to drive or sleep with my bladder in excruciating pain from being full....no need to be so self-righteous about it ya know?

But, knowing that I fit into TrooperRat's "Bizarre" category makes my day....it's Miller Time....lol
