[pct-l] Early hours pee tricks -- was crocs are heavy....

[Patrick Beggan]

Call me crazy, I just get up, go urinate, then go back to sleep. And  
usually I tune my water intake so that I urinate right before I go to  
sleep and then I can go straight until it's time to get up.

Joke or not, I would never risk urinating inside my shelter. On little  
slip because you're sleepy and suddenly you smell like piss and so  
does your bag. :P
