No Public Restrooms…

Little camp potty with bags at camping supply store

 

Lots of places already installed signs 2 years ago or more.

 

I don't necessarily disagree w/ this but you have to be really careful b/c unfortunately in some states / municipalities getting a citation for public urination can cause you to end up on the sex offenders listing. It happened to two different people I knew back when I lived in St. Louis, MO.

One guy I worked w/ a female co-worker found out he was on that list and basically outed the guy at work making a huge stink about it and swearing the guy must have been a child molester of some sort before finding out he got popped for pissing in an alley outside of bar one Saturday about 15 years earlier and that was the extent of the whole thing. Unfortunately this also apparently came up in child custody negotiations when he and his wife divorced.

 

That's why I make a pit stop before arriving at a shipper or receiver if I'm unfamiliar with the place. I can always piss in a bottle if I have to, but if I feel a dump coming on, I make sure to get it out of the way before arriving. Plus the bathrooms in some of those places are really trashed out.

 

Don't forget to wash your hands.

 

Still have to go?

 

I started a thread several years ago.....worst bathrooms or something like that.

Neither of these is the grand prize winner. I have pics of it posted if you can find the thread.

 

Back in 91 I had a pu in Calabasas and parked on the street in a industrial/residential area.
Bout 5:30 I wake and of course have to go. Just number 1 and it's still dark, no problem.
Jump down and the urge hits.
Grab a paper towel and drop trou between the drives and landing gear, this wasn't going to wait.
As I prepared for the paperwork I felt something cold on my blind side..
I look over my shoulder and there is a dog sniffing my business. I follow the leash to the horrified look of the owner. Talk about embarrassment.
I mutter an apology while she gasped and yanked her dog away.
I take off and it's 20 years before I ever mention it. Now I just laugh..when ya gotta go.
Happens to the best of us.

 

The camping type toilets, that Xheavy mentioned(I think it was him!) do work great. No odors other then what uh...comes out during the process. The aftermath isn't bad. Their like portable chem toilets. Lots of options out there, and methods to deal with any left over smells. Known plenty of folks who carry them with them when hunting(camp), camping, traveling in a rv( if you don't have hooks ups, tanks are full, or you have small tanks, etc). A lot of the cheaper end toilets you just attach a bag, do your thing, tie it up an toss it wherever is acceptable.

Heck my great Nana, she had one just to travel to town. She was old an if she had to go...they'd pull over pop open doors so nobody could see an handle business. They lived way up in rural part of NH at the time, so traveling to town took a bit, an when your 80 the bladder ain't so big anymore.

If a 80 year old great grandma can handle it in the boonies of New Hampshire, I'm sure you fine upstanding an much younger folks could do it to.








Here's a link so you can see them an pricing and all that stuff.

Plenty of sites and stores sell them...Camping world comes to find, parking lots should be big truck friendly as they do cater to the RV crowd. Like I said though lots of places carry and sell them. There is always online also.

@Dave_in_AZ - I was going to toss a pic in to see if I won a prize, but alas...I decided against it..it was a ####ty one. Ha!

Sirscrapntruckalot - Full poo bags, make a good weapon...you could really make someone a ####head.
