So the main obstacle preventing going off riding for hours and hours other than flipping lame horses is probably needing the loo.

Holding a horse and climbing into the undergrowth to "go" is not easy, quite conspicuous and fraught with nettle and bramble shaped hazards. :mad: Does anyone use a Shewee for such situations or are they equally problematic?

I'm thinking of getting one mainly for those emergency situations like being stuck in an everlasting traffic jam but I'm curious whether they are any good or not, especially in less than 100% private situations, which tbh are when they are likely to be needed.

This is what I'm on about, for anyone who's never heard of them. :o

My sister bought me one for a joke....just the look of it was enough to put me off....

I would be concerned about the wind direction etc if trying to use it when mounted!!! And I'm also not sure how you would hold it in place without revealing as much as you would crouched on the floor!!!
 
They had/ have them at Glastonbury festival in female urinals!!
Never used one myself - I am a camel and can get away with a long hack without the need!!
 
I've never tried a Shewee thingy and out hacking / hunting I'm a regular in the brambles and have been caught on the foot followers' cameras more than once :o but for years I've kept hold of my daughter's old travel potty as I frequently get caught short on long car journeys (4 hours at Dartford Tunnel etc) and just can't hang on...you wouldn't believe the times I've used it whilst in the driving seat (stationary of course!) without anyone knowing, inc jump judging. Here's a link to one on ebay. If you really want one for the car then you can't go wrong with it. Odd chatting about this but there you go! :D

I am familiar with the shewee..... I've become a regular festival go-er, and female urinals are becoming more common, and usually have no queue. :)
Practice at home first though, for some reason you can get a mental block about 'letting go' while standing up.....
You still have to undo, adjust and firtle around your undies to get the thing in postition, but better than risking getting caught out with all around your ankles :o
For travelling in the car I also now have a 'travel john', you can use it on its own, or in combo with the shewee, its a bag filled with crystals that totally absorb liquid and just swell up, so no risk of spills etc. Also handy for in the tent overnight, saves a moonlight dash half way across the camp site! :D

ETA: Travel John = Peebol on the original link above!

The wife of a work colleague of mine tried one and got a bit soggy, I guess she didn't position it quite right :/
