    I know how you feel. I said I would never do anything like that. But...

    I would highly suggest having a "emergency option" (whether it be a bottle, port-a-pottie, one of those little bag things full of power gel stuff, whatever you choose) because sometimes you really do get in a situation where you can't get to a bathroom.

    I have had two memorable situations in my two or so years on the road. One time was caused by a bad wreck that had us stopped on the interstate for about 8 hours. The other time a section of road got closed due to snow and we got stuck for a while then too, probably 5 or 6 hours.

    I can see the emergency situation causing a problem, so I can agree with having a contingency plan. :biggrin_25511:

    But no way with the bottle thing. :biggrin_25513:

    You're my favorite driver, AT. That's why I like him. He's a funny guy. :biggrin_2559:

    Good job on the video, buddy. I like the AC/DC intro. That got my attention. I had to turn down the sub-woofer.

    Yeah I plan on picking up a porta potty for those emergency (hope you never use) times.
