    My immune system could kill anthrax.
    I drank dirty pond water as a kid, had contaminated well water for 10 years. Drank out of field streams while hunting as a kid.
    Moms hamburgers were only ever half done.
    I think I’ll be ok.

    Got one. Had to replace it one time. For some reason I didn’t have a bag in it. Woke up at 3 am with bubbling guts and knew I had only seconds to either grab that bucket, poop my bed, or splatter the parking lot. A good bucket ended up sacrificed for the cause.

    You may not need a bucket I suppose, but if you’ve been doing OTR long enough, you’ll eventually bump into a situation where you really need to go and there are no restrooms around at all. A bucket is an easy way to get it done, but you can also go outside. There’s a whole thread about this.

    I know it’s an uncomfortable topic to discuss, and I personally hesitated for days before commenting about it. By the way, I only use mine during emergencies.

    LOL was waiting for this. Much easier then carrying around a bucket. Move carpet over, let it rip, move carpet back.
