Empty your kidneys?

I find one of the many great advantages of hammock camping is the ability to simply dangle the old fellow over the side and freely let go when the need arises. With a top quilt no other part of my body is even exposed to the cold.

I think I will just stick with the old fashion way. Wait till I cant stand it no more then get up in the cold and find a near tree.

Did a cold (14F) overnight this week and used a Bisquick Shake 'n Pour pancake mix bottle to avoid having to leave the hammock at night. Have used a few different containers over the years and the Bisquick has proven to be the best one yet.
