This is taught in the offical Boy Scout cold weather camping course. If you were a Scout you would have known. When was the last time you got out of bed and it at 19 degrees F? You would be looking for serious options. Keep in mind, this could happen to you if an ice storm hits and takes the power lines down. If any of those "cry babies" in New Orleans had any Scout training, they would not be crying on TV, begging for food and water. "Be prepared" is the Scout motto ===================
I've been in Florida most of the last 18 years so not much chance of my needing to pee at 19 degress in a black out.
I was in the military and we used to pee in bottles in the back of the gamma goat goin' down the autobaun in the FRG. And we used to empty it on the road as we went. But I don't see how I would think anyone would find that interesting, just necessary.
Scouting always seemed so gay to me.
I think everyone should be required at least one year of military service. I seem to remember most of the ones who dropped out of basic training in the cold dawn hours (mostly) were from the south. Too bad. If they waited a few more hours, it really warmed up (into the 30's and
40's) most of those (high drop out days).
