Just wondering...
in particular.. pee'ing while on a long float tube session.
Even if there's a bathroom right on the water, it seems like a major PITA (Pain-In-The-A$$) to kick back to the launch area, get out, go take care of your business (and hope nobody steals your gear), and then kick back out to your area of operations.
I know some people use empty gatorade bottles and somehow get it down there inside your waders to take a piss, but that seems like it won't work for me and my waders.
Has anyone tried, or thought of, using CONDOM CATHETERS?
(aka.. Texas Catheter)
If you don't know what this is, it's basically a condom, but the tip has a tube attached, that you can have coming up out of your waders and either connected to a urine bag, or you can have it capped with a plug. Then, when you need to pee, just uncap the plug, put the end in your gatorade bottle, and just fire away. I've never tried these, but I hear from patients that they are not all that uncomfortable. Apparently, it's an adhesive, so one of the biggest problems is taking it off later and the adhesive getting stuck to hair (OWWW... )
But.. if that's the biggest problem, and it'll keep me out on the water longer, I'm open to giving it a try. In my job, I have access to a lot of these condom catheters, if anyone else is interested in this wacky idea.
