How long can you hold it?

[Iggy]

Going to the bathroom, of course. The first thing I did was buy one of those 5 gallon buckets with plastic bag liner and a toilet seat on top. So far I haven't used it for anything but as a trash can and a seat for putting on my shoes. The only time that I wasn't able to hold it all night, I just peed into a plastic big gulp cup. As long as I find a bathroom within the last couple hours before bedtime, I'm good. So far, I haven't done any boondocking, only stealth parking in towns. So to answer my own question, I think 15 hours is my record. But I'm not about to test myself with using a colon cleanse or a laxative either,

Some of us, as we get older, can't hold out as long and when ya gotta go ya gotta go quickly....both pee and poopy.

Be careful that you're drinking enough. I kept getting leg cramps at night and found out it was because of dehydration. I'd have my coffee in the morning and maybe a glass of iced tea during the day, just never thought about drinking water. I read an article and it's amazing how many issues are caused by not drinking enough (non caffeinated) liquid. Any alcohol and you're screwed, it dehydrates you even more. I actually passed out at work one morning after a night of dancing and two screwdrivers. I was concerned enough to go to my doctor. Turned out it was dehydration that caused it. One bad taco will dehydrate you as well. Use the potty.

I pee constantly but i drink constantly. I keep an old kitty litter jug in the van, it holds a lot so i don't even try to hold out unless i forgot to empty it a couple days. Last yr i got sick from heat and dehyd. So i don't get close anymore
