I hurt my foot, so doubt it if I will be doing any trips this year. I'm a man. The world is my toilet. As for the wife, if you ever ride in my truck, do not touch the red solo cup in the bottom pocket of the door. Its not for drinking out of......... 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan to create a detachable toilet seat to the truck running board used with front and rear doors open to provide a screen did not meet with much enthusiasm. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a bastard for you if you got repetitive stress syndrome on your hands and wrists from too much keyboarding on the internet.....better be careful! Oh Jimbo not nice to make fun of someone with a disability. Never been in so much pain in my life. I would never wish this on anyone or any other injury for that matter, no matter how it comes about. If you don’t have your health you don’t have much in life. Karma always goes around in circles I find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave K Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 1 hour ago, T bird said: Maybe could try this? I mean I’m certain they would come in handy for “those times” One of the employees on the local Parks and rec dept, who is also a member of the same volunteer FD as me knows I'm involved with the club. After a particular busy weekend where the local community centre parking lot was full of trucks and trailers, I was asked to remind people to take these things home with them when they leave the parking lot, and not dump them on the ground beside the trailer. Apparently there was a few disposable ones left in the parking lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 In all seriousness, if you're involved with a local club, consider ' bathroom facilities '. It was an issue raised at club meetings over the years - there were studies, emails - put more facilities on the trails for female sledders.

Generally, but not always, I found sledding and dirt bike riding, that younger women will exercise their right to relief tastefully, but surprising close to the trail.
