    for those of you that are anti the "prone-urination movement" here on HF, lemme know when you get too cold to get up, attempt the 'swift wriggle' and fail, i'll take the $200 UQ you'd be too posh to use afterwards. hell, i'll even throw down for a smooth ten bucks over the shipping. i come from a large extended family with lots of uncles and older cousins (i.e.: tormentors). camping with some of those wildlings will cause you to come in contact with some of the least pleasant fluids and substances (bodily and others) one could dream up; a lil peepee on the things that keeps me from freezing is the least of my worries. my grandfather grew up on dirt floors, became a motorcycle thugs and robbed banks, got shot and stabbed and ate stuff off the sidewalk and drank rain water off houses and out of ducts with absolutely no fear of stomach bugs or ecoli or whatever. seems like some of you forgot that purell type stuff was only created in the last twenty years. you think you haven't ever slept on pee? did you build your house? did you install the carpet? better yet, ever live in a big city and rent a furnished apartment? getting out of the warmness isnt a big issue for me, but getting back to perfect sleep position. i understand there are many more viruses and such in the world nowadays, but seriously? you're feelings are going to be hurt because the guy that camped before you peed? gtfo thats nonsense.

    EDIT: grandfather is still alive and kicking hard. 7 years alcohol free this year.

    I'm a pretty big, tough guy, and I don't feel the least bit guilty that I prefer that folks don't pee on me.

    But do you mind using gear that has seen some pee dribble then been laundered? How about if it hasn't been laundered?

    Urine is not sterile. Google it.

    Try dehydration if getting up if too much of a chore! No pee bottle fer me!

    Give me more folly said the fool,
    Give me stone silence said the deaf man,

    For those of you who choose to hang in bear country and simply empty your bladders at the nearest tree or bush that's close to your hammock you might want to think twice as there is speculation among bear experts that because of their incredible sense of smell, for anything, even human urine may attract them.

    The prospect of a bear that close to my sleeping space caused by that scent has made me more cautious when needing to pee. Therefor like another member posted, I just keep a dedicated Nalgene bottle (with a tight seal) beneath the hammock and get out of the hammock to use the bottle when nature calls.

    I'm no authority on bears, or their behavior, but I have read a good many publications on the subject and seen this referenced to in a few,...just a thought.
