Arriving / Exodus & need a potty

[BettySaidWot]

I've arrived early-on for a couple of years, but once I arrived at the height of arrivals and waited plenty long in the entry line up. One thing that you must be prepared for is NO POTTIES IN THE LINE UP - not at least until you're real close to the gates. The last potty before the event is at the curve in the road beyond Gerlach. After that, the next potties are near will call. If someone in your car really has to go, this is a problem. Ditto at Exodus (even longer wait times!).

1. Could the BMOrg please place some potties out there on the drive onto / out of the playa so that those waiting in line (who've had a lot of coffee) have a place to go.
2. Participants should have a jug and a pee funnel ready in their vehicle. Also a bag sturdy enough to hold a dump.
3. It's ok to run around the lineups knocking on RV doors but that's also imposing on others. See #2.

One year in the lineup my wife experienced that thing when you have to pee so bad that when you finally do get a chance to pee, the pee won't come. Her pee was frozen and she couldn't use the jug we'd brought. Then it started getting painful for her. I jumped out of the car and knocked on some RV doors to ask for help for her to see if anyone would mind if she used their john. Some British girls in an RV said their bathroom wasn't working, and one of the girls in their group had to poo in a bag. Finally I found a group in an RV willing to let her use their john.

Be wise and don't drink too much on your ride in / out

Or you could always wear Depends or some other adult type diaper

I agree with your rule #2.

Radical self reliance begins at your doorstep....

Plus, it's so much handier for a long drive, like when you're stalking someone and you don't know when you'll get to a toilet.

[lucky420]

Well she was an astronaut, kinda sorta

[theCryptofishist]

And astronauts are used to being in confined in dark womb-like places and to peeing without much thought.

Oh! Put a cork in it.

[CornMan]

Just tow in one of these.

That would be a real bidet, on the move

The Go Girl is workable (and compact, though I think it suffers for its compactness--it's harder to use). The Freshette "Sport & Travel" is my favorite. It's not cheap. ($27 @ a major internet retailer right now? Yikes. I paid less than $20 a few years ago).

I've heard great things about the pStyle, secondhand.

All of them take practice at home. There is a learning curve.

I've said too much.

That looks like your are going DPW fishing with a chunk of crack.

If you're a guy, get a bottle with an opening you can stick your dick in...

And they already told you about the Go Girl. They work. Better get your own bottle...

You really should have figured that one out...

And if you're doin' a class, yggy, you better have somebody there who knows CPR.

Oh, yeah... I do.

This last year during early entry on Friday(they were probably locked till Sunday) and Exodus on Monday there were porta potties down gate road starting about a 1/2 mile from the highway.

I bet that'd hold a scoop of icecream, even two!! of course, you can't eat the cone, but, drinking the melted part should be easy........


I love multi use devices.

While I agree that a jug (and if needed a funnel) is a good thing to have - I seem to recall fairly regularly spaced JOTS along most of the entry road. Since I was in that entry line about 5 or 6 hours maybe I just had more time to notice them, but even in the dark they were pretty obvious because of the foot traffic heading to and from them across the lanes.

I believe so.......I'll bring it up, though.

If you could get an idea of the frequency, that would be helpful, too.

And thanks, yggy!

Hm. I've seen some piddles on the floor. Some guys don't seem to learn at all...
