the exodus peepee dance

I'm already dreading it again this year. No matter what I do, no matter how little I drink, I can NOT make it back to civilization without the terrible need to defile some sacred Indian ground. Ideas?

In the car will be (barring any random virgin pickups like we had last year) just myself and my very understanding and patient husband. Still, I'd like him to be able to look me in the eye when we get back to the hotel.

A very nice funnel type thing that provides a GOOD seal would be okay except for the potential for odor in a rental car and the probability of a (previously) clear bottle rolling around at my feet for a couple of hours.

There's this little john thing that's at least opaque and water tight but I'd love an endorsement on it's actual ease of use for a female and whether it's worth the money.

Finally found some absorbant gel thingies but the adaptor seems a little wee (hah!) to the point where we'd have to risk a sand shoulder in order to get me upright anyway.

And finally - adult diapers. Yes, I'm to that point. 3 out of 3 exoduses... exodai... uh, trips back to Reno have seen me struggling painfully and I'd really like this to be the year I make (hah, again!) some progress.

Sounds like you're on the right track. I'm damn glad you have ethics on the way back. Too many people don't.

5 gal bucket and shrink wrap. Industrial is best.

When you get home just dump it down the toilet or a manhole that has two holes in it. The ones that have more than two holes lead to the ocean and that is bad.

There's going to be more Portables along the Exodus route this year!

Drive-bys?

Iâ€™m considering using my countertop compost container as an emergency piss-pot. It has a charcoal filter in the lid and it seals pretty tight.

I think Iâ€™ll test it first, by putting water in it and drive around with it in the truck.

one of the HUGE miscalculations or the BM event coordinators over the years.
it's quite an easy fix. many leaving on sunday morning lower the need for as many potties in the city. at least 20 of which could be quickly relocated to the exodus road. DUH?

good to hear they are making logical progress on this.

It took us 8 hours + to get from 2:30 and the outer ring road to I-80 when we left last year, and 5 hours of that was spent just trying to reach 447. On top of that you've been trying to stay hydrated and then you have to hold it for that long? It's not easily done.

Moving those porta-potties would go a long ways towards taking the heat / bitching away from the exodus experience which right now sucks the most serious ass of any aspect of the BM experience.

Why would your husband have problems looking you in the eye if you utilized a pee funnel in the car to relieve yourself while trapped in the exodus line?

I am thinking I would much rather my wife just whip it out and do her thing than listen to her incessantly carry on about needing to pee. And a couple of virgins in the back? Hearing someone pee in a bottle should not create or be much of an issue after everything else the experienced in the past week.

Just saying...

My wifes' bladder has less endurance than the fuel tanks in our plane. She uses the Little John and it has worked very well. We don't have the luxury to defile a sacred anything, except the cockpit. The one on the link is red, if that makes any difference.

Sorry, fogot the link,

you used "sacred" and "cockpit" in the same sentence!!
excellent

I'm actually more amused by the phrase "luxury to defile a sacred anything"

Good stuff, though. Glad to have gotten something going here.

Was that supposed to be a pun?

yeah I just got tired of adding (HA!) after every little witty thing. But I do see the humor in that statement, yes.

its urine - dump it on the lawn, in any drain, or wherever. Its not hazardous waste, and peeing in the ocean isnt going to make a difference anywhere.

or leave tuesday. and be in reno in 2 hours

JezebelinHell · Post by **JezebelinHell** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 8:03 am

Seriously, leave Tuesday. It'll give you a day to help clean up too, and then you can feel a little better about all the debauchery you got yourself into over the previous seven days. Gotta balance out that karma.

One of college drinking buddys had one of those clear hospital bed urinal containers with handle and lid, he used it as a beer mug. Besides squicking out most folks, it's main benefit was that it was never stolen or lost even when the cups that came with the kegs were long gone.

I would suggest a pee funnel that works for you and an empty gatorade bottle. I almost always keep a gatorade bottle handy in the tent for relief during the 'wee' hours/sand storms.

Pick up a Pee-Funnel from Pee-Funnel Camp during the event, then you can pee in a gallon jug. You can wear a long skirt so you're covered, and do it while on Gate Road before you hit the pavement. Opaque-ish gallon jugs can be found. I use one all week long at my camp to avoid the midnight piddle-hike. Beyond that, your passengers probably saw more amusing things during the week than someone peeing into a bottle. My 2 cents.
I haven't heard anything about the number of potties that will be moved for Exodus, but I will look into it. Be prepared though for self-sufficiency.

I would join in suggesting that you volunteer for Exodus and stay till Tuesday.

Here's what works fer me: I just take my heel and kick a little hole in the floorboard and piss through the cracks, dont even skip a beat. Since Im abatin' my own dust, I drive up to 10 mph

When you are forced to do a river crossing, rifle fire works excellently for drainholes in the floor.
Be sure to fire from the inside down and watch your fuel lines, of course.
Easier than bailing anyway.

Sheesh by the time Tuesday rolls around some of us will have to be in New Jersey....staying as much as we'd love to is just not an option.

The pee funnel thing sounds interesting but in a small car...that could be kinda hard to do.

Um, get over it? There are a few porto's on the exodus road. If you can't make it to one, then have something to pee into, and pee into it. If that idea is completely unbearable, then avoid the big exodus line altogether! Spend another day on the dust, and you'll find that Tuesday exodus takes 15 minutes and you can still grab an indian taco on the way out.

I tried one of the exodus portos. Holy fuck. The piss and paper was up to the rim, you couldn't even hover. I was already there so I tried, mostly successfully, to piss in the urinal. I told the other gals outside to piss behind the porto on the playa. Nasty, nasty, nasty. And I have a high tolerance for nasty.

Ugly Dougly · Post by **Ugly Dougly** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 9:51 am

You know, a guy might think this thread is about Exotic Peepee Dancing. Is there any of that on the playa?

Post by **AntiM** » Thu Jun 26, 2008 9:53 am

There is now.

A woman out in the middle of Africa was on the back of a truck and they hadn't seen even a bush to hide behind for hours. Finally in pain she called down for the driver to stop and jumped off the truck to pee. A guy took off his coat and threw it down to her, but it was a short coat, and she just looked at it. He said, it's not to cover you up. Put it around your head to avoid the embarrassment.

Seriously!, pee on the ground (not the playa). It's ok. Just DON'T leave any toilet paper there. Instead put it in a plastic bag, and tie it, and bring it home.

Leave no trace.
