Yuck
Heck just were a diaper and discard like a baby diaper. No squatting, then clean and dispose like you do a diaper. Keep the environment clean. Remember to use wipes, not toilet paper.
Yes.. that’s what I would do… no difference from picking up my dogs poop..
I cleaned out and reused a large peanut butter jar. The mouth of it is large enough and the lid can be used when necessary.
Be careful doing that, i have a criminal justice degree and you can get charged and have to register as a sex offender. I saw many arrested for peeing outside. I just go into fast food joints to pee. I hang in cities though.
I worked for Amazon for several months, driving one of those huge blue vans, during COVID . . . when there were no open to customers bathrooms anywhere. I used a pee cup like yours, but modified somewhat. I placed a quart Ziplock bag inside the cup, folding the top couple of inches outside the cup. Inside the Ziplock bag, at the bottom, I placed half of only the absorbent part of a baby diaper (cut the rest of the diaper away with scissors). I bought Dollar Tree packs of diapers - very inexpensive. When done peeing, zip up the Ziplock. Toss when at next trash bin. The portion of diaper absorbs the liquid and ALSO COUNTERACTS ODORS.
@JulieTorrono
Genius!
Have you ever heard of a SHE WEE ...? Made in NZ I think and women can pee like a man standing up .
A good plastic rain poncho makes a good privacy 'screen'
That's a great idea!
👍
You are the first person brave enough to really talk about the bathroom issue. Most tubers won't even answer questions about it. Appreciate your candor and real experience.
Why are we so ridiculous about something EVERYONE has to do? It's like breathing, blinking, sleeping: a normal part of life, and it's so refreshing to hear you talking normally about it. Thank you for this.
It is natural but the reason human society developed sanitation and sewage systems was because human waste everywhere was a health hazard … it’s lucky that only a minority of people excrete in public places like this . If we all
did it doesn’t make a nice thought :(
That was my thought also.
I have ALWAYS thought this!!! Like everyone does it!
Do they give out Nobel Prizes for instructional UA-camrs? You should get one. You are so clear and fun and fearless, and I'm so glad we're finally grown up enough to talk about stuff without a lot of fluff or unnecessary tap-dancing around the subject. So thank-you!
yes
Another tip: While you’re experimenting with methods, you may want to buy some puppy pads, to cover the seat (or floor, depending) when peeing inside your vehicle. The last thing you need is a puddle on the seat, while trying to enjoy the open road. Lol.
Lol so true
Puppy pads in the bottom of your camper toilet helps to prevent messes.
Great idea. After my hysterectomy aim is impossible. 😂😂 TMI but I was concerned about this.
I appreciate you acknowledging that a lot of people physically can't squat, so many people don't ever think about that.
I was driving a few hours to visit family with my infant and became very "ill". I had cramps that came out of nowhere and had absolutely NO time to prepare, so without any shame, I pulled off and used my son's baby diaper. I already was good at taping them shut right away nice and tight and tossing them in proper receptacles. I advise keeping a few on hand because they will absorb it all (poo, pee, or vomit) and there is no concern regarding spillage. There is no shame in any of this, especially if you are sick. They are also great for your emergency kit if you ever should have to cover a bleeding wound.
So what ARE the "proper receptacles?"
Great idea.
They also work as a sanitary pad in a pinch
Adult ones too.
Ok I just had to subscribe after watching this video. Such honesty. Finally someone is not sugar coating it or glamorizing it. Thank you Brooke. You’re awesome. Your honesty is refreshing. I’m going to binge watch you now. You’re too fun!
Thank you! Welcome to Brooke and Pippa world lol
@Jean West I totally agree "refreshing and not glamorizing" binge here I come too. lol
Same!
haha, Me too, LOL!!!
Have found pee cup also. For pooping, carry a small stack of newspapers. Put 2 or 3 sheets spread on floor, poop on to newspaper, wipe with adult personal wipes. Place wipes on the poop and carefully fold paper with poop & wipes wrapped tightly inside into a small bundle & throw away in trash can when you stop for gas. If you are nervous about bundle coming apart you can place bundle in a plastic bag after you have finished. The wipes are great for a fresh feeling & clean hands. The newspaper has ink that helps with odor till you get to dumpster.
Started w portable potty. Has same condensation issues & kitty litter is added weight to carry(I’m in Subaru Crosstrek). I use female funnel outside. No squatting, can be wearing skirt & no one knows. The freedom of feeling like a boy is amazing!! (Haven’t been in snowy area BUT you know I’m writing my name in snow the 1st time🤣)
I practiced practiced practiced in shower to learn pee funnel. In my suv I prefer my Nancy’s 64oz yogurt container. It’s low, it’s wide. It’s lid holds liquid without spillage. Put that doggie pee pad underneath & fold up for reuse when you’ve been "a good, good girl" & haven’t spilled.
Just an idea that I use-no tp. None. I bought couple packs of washcloths@Walmart ($6 for 18) in white. I cut each cloth in 1/2. Just throw in with laundry. In my suv, I’ve got my hillbilly bidet squirt bottle to keep clean & healthy. After the Covid TP fiasco of 2020, I decided to save $$$ & the washcloths have actually been great. Also got few packs of black washcloths for, well, you know. You CAN poo in yogurt container, too. I don’t mix poo/pee. Pee is stored in detergent container til I find a public toilet.
*IF you’re worried about someone seeing your bare bum peeing in trees-you will NEVER see them again. Stand up straight & proud with your empty bladder & no wet pants&go live your best life!
Thanx so much for video.
There is never a time to be embarrassed about having to go 1-2. Been caught pooping in numerous times. By people looking to do the same thing. It’s okay.
Plastic rain poncho or any poncho type of garment makes squatting more private 😊
Finally someone admits to having diarrhea while camping. Thanks for your honesty and all your great ideas.
I had a really bad case of diarrhea after a Fourth of July potluck picnic and after several weeks of Imodium I took one Pearl size dab horse dewormer and that did the trick. Good to keep in your first aid kit and use whenever you're not feeling so good. A little dabble do ya! Haha! Safest drug that big Pharma ever made. The reason it works so well is that it does not kill the parasites but rather paralyzes them and when you're immune system takes them out it is also taking out all the bacteria and viruses that we're feeding on that still living parasite. I trust horse dewormer because horses have very sensitive stomachs and they're not going to add anything bad. Available at your local feed store without a prescription because the horse Lobby is so strong.
Yes and the biggest scam in American history is the “composting toilet! Not ONLY is there ZERO “composting” happening, but you can’t use a composting toilet WITH diarrhea, vomit, menstrual blood and tissues, or ANY antibiotics or strong psychiatric or chemo medications.. and human feces has OVER 300 TRILLION pathogens! Now that more people are camping as a lifestyle and even homeless, THEY CAN NOT poop in our dwindling forests, woods, land, etc. Pathogens sink into our water tables. The Colorado River which supplies CA with water, is so contaminated people don’t drink the water!
You crack me up!! 😂😂 I carry a black garbage bag too so my white bag poop carrying isn’t visible.
I started using plastic coffee cans. The ones with a grip, like folgers or maxwell house cans. They have a wide target and a lid. You can fit a bag in them. They are disposable, reusable, the perfect "her-inal" I keep one in my car for emergencies.
Cool. But what if you don't drink coffee
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Dump the coffee out. They're not very expensive.
Oh this is genius and I will try this.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet Give me all the coffee. LOL.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet give the coffee to someone and keep the container!
I knew a woman that was in her 70s that had been mostly living out of her car for years. She had monthly income but had so many bad experiences renting it was pretty much the choice she had made. We were friends and as such I knew that she had bladder control issues and routinely wore an adult diaper. She told me this and it was because she was tired of having accidents. This meant that she would often have to use a bathroom that was suitable for getting "cleaned up". As an adult one should learn that you have to have respect for people that deal with their own burdens. Turns out she had cancer and was more or less "dying" the whole time I knew her. Found out that something urgent had happened and she went to the hospital for something that wouldn't ordinarily be considered that bad. She never left the hospital under her own power. Rest in peace, Kim. The diaper idea may be a good option for some people especially if you are going to be on an Interstate highway for hours because waiting for an exit ramp leading to a nearby bathroom or even just a place to park may be a mistake.
Good suggestion. Hopefully it is never needed but better to be prepared.
Hospitals will kill us if they can!
I have not used doctors for 12 years ( two exceptions), and I am 77, I believe, from avoiding medical advice.
Poop in a bag. That's what I came here for. Thank you for the instructions. Diarrhea in the night is one of my biggest fears when starting car living. Thank you! ❤
I've been using a Tinklebell for years now. I can whip it out like a dude and pee standing up. I never see anyone talk about it, but it is a blend of hard plastic and soft silicone while being open for easy cleaning. And you can use it to wipe, negating any need for toilet paper. The edge is smooth so it's not like scraping with hard plastic
Carry puppy pads and cut one in half, put it in the bottom of a grocery bag and hold a handle in front and a handle in back. Then use baby wipes.
She keeps it real and it is sanitary mad respect for this lady.❤
Pooping in a garbage bag really works. Done it at 2:00am in a snow storm blowing sideways. No messing around. Always keep a wide mouth bottle with me. Good tips.
Feline Pine pellets are awesome for LNT practices. The pellets absorb all moisture and turn into fluffy, pine scented sawdust that also helps repel insects.
It's what I use, after trial and error with other products
That's the best! I love the pine smell, and it's inexpensive.
You are the first person I have watched who has talked about options for people with bad knees.
Thanks for honestly talking about a subject we all seem to avoid. Also thank you for promoting the leave no trace principles.
I've watched dozens of UA-cam videos on this subject, and this is the most comprehensive guide I've seen. Great job!
Thank you!
Instead of a pee cup I have adapted an ice cube holder that usually would be in the freezer. Its the rectangle plastic container that is 7 or 8 inches high and as long as an ice cube tray. Its excellent. Never fills up, never spills, easy to clean and easy to slip between your legs when you need it, standing or squatting.
You are brave existing the car at night. Once I was in I was in. I always kept kitty litter, trash bags, wipes, soapy water, a bucket from Lowes, and Clorox. Yes, the drinking cups work wonders, but I kept funnels.
Thats where Pippa has it easy she goes where she likes and when she needs to .No hassles at all.
As a parent I have traveled with a low tech potty training "toilet" and I think it's worth consideration. Some fold up, some are one piece...they are small, but if you are squatting you aren't sitting on them anyway the size is less important. Some of them have a removable bowl that you can put a plastic bag on.
Keeping an umbrella (or two) in your vehicle for privacy can be really helpful as well.
I was thinking of this also, after raising kiddos & taking long car trips we always had a potty chair with us, I was wondering why no one else has ever mentioned this option
@@Gina-Psalm139 hmm I’ve never heard of people traveling with a potty chair before.
@@Lynn-zx3th I guess you don’t know anyone traveling with little kids, lol. We still used the potty for my daughter when she was 5 because she wouldn’t go into the outhouse. Everybody poops, and when you gotta go, you gotta go. Some of these ideas are great for peeing while fishing for hours on a boat. My husband uses an empty plastic 2 lb coffee container then puts the lid back on.
I use a 2 gallon bucket in a storage ottoman with a potty chair seat. I can seal the lid on the bucket and the ottoman won’t tip over like a bucket will..Then I have the ottoman to use as well.
This is actually a brilliant idea! Thank you!
So helpful. I have a medical condition that has kept me homebound, but I'm determined to take a road trip to go see my aging mother in law! Your tips gave me a lot of ideas to consider!
Yes! I hope you can take that trip!
🙏❤️🙏👵
Another way to travel is by train, Amtrak. I'd recommend that you book out a few months in advance for the best rates.
When camping I use a large yogurt tub to pee -it has a lid and less likely to tip -place inside of a grocery bag -double safe. Love your honesty and common sense. ⛺️
I saw a post awhile ago where someone used a yogurt cup to pee into and then poured the urine into one of the small detergent bottles and secured the cap. She could keep the laundry bottle in a tote and carry it in somewhere she could empty it.
I used that too! Yes, much less likely to tip and bigger hole.
Great tip! 🏕
@@judiwilliams1854Yes! And add to a detergent bottle. Another great idea.
I'm retired and planning to spend the summer exploring the UK, camping in my car. This is an area that I'm currently researching so thank you for your frankness about a subject most people shy away from, even though we all need to do it: I don't really understand the horror people feel when discussing it! Thanks you so much.
I got a smaller bucket at Wal-Mart and bought a child's toilet seat that fit perfect. I use grocery bags and 2 large hand full of saw dust. I prepped 32 bags and used my food sealer and sealed it up. Each morning I open the seal a meal bag and put it in fresh. It's wonderful. I put the toilet by the back door so I could get up easier.
great ideas!
My go one and 2 is, Walmart, RECTANGLE shaped, plastic small trash can. It fits front to back with no splash or miss. Scented trash bag and baking soda..You can also use the hard plastic big gulp 52 oz with hard plastic lid and handle, place it inside the can and then just empty that. It's great for inside the vehicle space and splash back wise.
I forgot about baking soda!
While doing a road trip during Covid many restrooms were closed so I made a "potty station" by moving the passenger seat up as far as possible so I could squat on the floor board in the back seat. I used an old ice cream bucket that the pee could be dumped out of easily. That worked better for my balance in a squating position inside the car. I have used a pee cup as well at other times.
For BMs (poop) I put a small plastic trash bag in an old ice cream bucket and did my business. I then placed that bag in a very heavy duty zip lock bag. To disguise it, I placed the Ziploc bag in a shopping bag and threw away in an outside trash can when possible. The Ziploc bag helped with odor control as well as spills. The next time I do this, I'll have a second bucket with a lid that I can store the BM filled bags until I can dispose... My dog was a little too interested in the poop bag. LOL
Ice cream bucket with a bag liner and just a scoop of kitty litter solved that problem for me.
The Shewee is great after a bit of trial and error at home in the shower. You just have to be sure to press it up firmly onto your perineum rather than at the front. If you press evenly all round or harder at the front edge, wee can leak out at the back. The front takes care of itself if you press moderately hard at the back. The benefit once you have the nack is you have the option to wee standing up with just your flies down like a man. I put tissue in my pants first then pat dry and dispose. That way you can picnic toilet like a man does and don’t feel vulnerable pulling your pants right down and squatting. You don’t get wee on your shoes and you can also wee into a screw top bottle if you need to go inside the van. Love all these tips, Brooke. Stuff your best friend will tell you… xxx
Thanks for providing technical tips and Shewee recommendation!
You're adorable! Love all your tips!!
Go girl is better - the she wee is hard plastic and the she wee is softer plastic so you can hold it to you and it creates a nice seal. I can stand to pee just like a gay now and I use it all the time!
@@a.w.thompson4001 go girl is the better version,
Tried she wee multiple times - first in the shower where it worked pretty well (I think), then while out hiking. Tried pressing firmly, pressing loosely, firmer at perineum looser at front...
...and I peed all over myself every time hahaha.
My favorite solution is to use a plastic coffee jug with a snap-on lid. I can set it on a surface or hold it under me. Another way I go is to sit forward on the bottom of the cars' door-frame, and go on the ground. It is virtually undetectible as you are shielded by the car door, and have your pants only part-way down.
I do that, sitting on the cars door frame, with both doors open. If I need privacy from open side, I have a shower curtain and I use a magnet to put up the curtain on the doors.
I have done this in this is definitely an excellent idea and works very well,
I have done this and it is practically undetectable in a basically remote area.
Yes, sitting on the open car door frame works well, some splash back happens but easier to shield from by lifting your feet cause your bum is supported. Saved me many times while traveling for my job!! This country has so many beautiful, wide open areas thankfully. So ya definitely gotta plan to use some kind of toileting options if you are going to travel thru them. 😁👍My friends and family know that toilet tissue is an acceptable gift for me any time! 🤪🤣
@@mrspumpkin36 Great idea! Lots of shower curtains have magnets already attached at the bootom, just turn it upside down.
As an ex traffic flagger had to go whenever or wherever we could sometimes. For squatting get long funnel for oil changes to avoid slash. Put 🧻 in cup before weeing it helps with smell and you can use multiple times. Keep lid on. Also ladies , keep skirt to help with possible creepy peepers if you need to squat. Lastly to 💩 get medical bedpan with lid, put in paper bag until you can dump it.
Funnel and a skirt-good tips!
For #2 I use a 2 gallon bucket with noodle padding around the rim. I use a disposable bag with the small compressed wood pieces (like the pellets used in a pellet stove) or used in animal cages (purchased at north 40). It absorbs liquid & odor perfectly. I store my roll of disposable bags, TP, & zip-lock bag of pellets inside the bucket with lid when not in use. Works great for me. We use a pop up tent for a changing room/bathroom outside the tear drop if staying a few days.
THE WIND SIMULATING A GIANT FILLING O' THE BAG, WAS EPIC PERFECTION !!!🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍@ "my diarrhea nights..."!!!💖💖💖
Loved this video, I've been a (female) truck driver for 20 years and this has always been a big issue. Nowadays I use a large margarine container, lined with a large ziplock (for #1). This works great, because you can use it a couple of times and no clean up. I'm usually able to go #2 at a rest area or outside on an exit ramp, between my truck and trailer. Anyways appreciate this video, happy trails to you🙋♀️❤
What do you mean, outside between my truck and trailer? Who cleans this up?
I really appreciate the way you keep referring to the ability to squat to be inclusive of people with disabilities
i started using pee wipes in 2020 when way too many folks were a tad obsessed with buying toilet paper. i took a leftover flannel sheet from my youngest daughter’s bedding that she didn’t need/want when she moved out as an adult. then i just snipped and tore it into strips, then snipped and tore the strips crosswise into squares/rectangles. kept in a basket by the toilet, with a pretty pottery crock on the floor for used wipes to go into until they go into the washing machine. easy peasy. then when i moved into a dry cabin for 2 1/2 years, i kept a pee pot at the base of my ladder stairs to my sleeping loft and my basket of pee wipes right next to it. i recently moved into a skoolie, where i have the room for a toilet solution but have not felt the need to buy one. just visited my 93yo aunt who when she found out my living situation said “have i got something for you!” and gifted me an antique enameled pee pot, with handle and lid, and said they used to call them thunder jugs! lol i learned to not put the lid on overnight because of that condensation issue but i love my thunder pot and pee wipes! haven’t had any poop emergencies but in the back of my head was like, well, worst case scenario i have the cat’s litter box! i plan to buy a box of compostable plastic bags for small waste baskets and keep those on hand, along with extra kitty litter, for any potential intestinal emergencies that eventually may arise.
Gosh, guess I am not the only one preventing myself from doing this due to bathroom issues.
After I had children, the amount of conversation that were about bowel movements and peeing was initially alarming 😂 This conversation is awesome. Thank you for the information. It is also cracking me up that I’m once again in a convo about the potty.
Brooke you are so awesome. This is exactly what we need. Detailed information about what others have trouble talking about. Keep on keeping on.
You are PhD level in the art and science of body waste collection and disposal. Enjoying your approach to car camping.
Thank you so much! I use a “Portable Bidet” at my cat hole, then there’s less dirty TP to carry back to the trash.
Great to see you Brooke and Pippa. Thanks for this video Brooke. Have a great rest of your week ❤
Thank you so much for covering this topic so thoroughly! It is one of the reasons why I haven't tried long-term car camping. I feel so "relieved".
Loving you , and your total honesty . I've been a car camper myself and was so happy when I discovered the 5 galloner and a bag . What freedom 👍
I feel like you addressed every question someone could have. I think this is valuable information. Thank you for taking it on.
The pooping demonstration was epic! Thanks! lol
Brooke I just love how you are REAL. Hey it's what we ALL have to do and it's great when you find the best, easiest way to get the job done. Many happy trails to YOU!
Great job being transparent and sharing the not so glamorous side of car camping
You are adorable, honest and funny . I love the way you explain everything. Thank you 🙏
When traveling a long distance I’m telling you the large cup with a lid has been a lifesaver for years but since c19 and traveling at different states… you learn really quickly how to pack down a car van or suv 🚙 for camping into at times. A hint I advise is when you go to the gas station let them know you need 🧊 and get the largest cup with a top.. they will charge you like 50 cents to 75 cents for the cup. And have some paper towels scented bags and baby wipes 🧻. And ℹ keep the odo ban spray in the truck 🛻 for sanitizing issues and freshing the vehicle from additional odors. Ty for this video 🔥🔥🔥
Your honesty is refreshing, I appreciate the information and opinions.
Thank you so much for being real in all your videos. Giving all the examples! Omg your a lifesaver. Totally going to use this. I’ve been holding back on car camping/ living lifestyle because in my head I want to know what to do if every scenario and boy are you a heaven send
I love your candor, so good to see someone so happy about pooping in a bag! Not enough people are honest about all the tough parts of this lifestyle. My pee cup is a $1 dog treat container from Dollar Tree, it has a lid and a wide base and mouth. It works great.
I really appreciate your approach so much, you are the real deal. I like that you mostly use a tripod, with the embedded action videos, better for those of us who get motion sick with some videos. Glad I found your channel.
I think I bought the same jug. I test drive it with a cup of.water...it failed.hands down..I use a sealable coffee jug. Two thumbs up..
I use a plastic Pringle can. Has lid also easy to hold because of shape of bottle.
Best wishes to you Brooke and thanks for all the helpful and honest advice.
Good for you! Honestly so proud of you. So many things need to be said, people struggle & don't talk about it. You are confident and getting life done.
Keep being amazing!
You’re too funny! Love how you speak freely, honestly and naturally about your body/human needs. Bravo 👏 to you! Thank you for sharing all these information. ❤️
Found your channel this evening and I want to thank you for your very frank and honest review of various bathroom methods. This is kind of a taboo subject but something we all have to deal with. New subscriber here and once again...thank you!
Very excellent video! I agree with many others regarding your lovely direct and honest approach of an obvious need for everyone. Whether a person travels long distance or not ,sometimes natural bodily functions have to happen in most inconvenient times and places. Having some backup for these unexpected times can be as simple as a bag and tissue tucked in the glove compartment. Thank you again for your discussion on the options .
Thank you for being so open and honest about this situation.
Piss-off, I love them. Ordered a portable bidet as well... getting ready to hit the road. You have been such a great help Brooke!! Been binge watching, love you & Pippa!! Thanks guys! ❤️❤️🙏🤗👵
Omg sister! I love your channel. Thank you for keeping it real & answering all of the questions we have but might be too afraid to ask. ❤
I love how you're doing this and being very open. LOL not many people feel comfortable talking about pee and poop especially nomads. I am a bigger woman and actually use a tupperware container for peeing. I like the fact that I can actually put a cover on it and depending on the Tupperware it doesn't leak
Your honesty and transparency is appreciated 🙂
I love this!! Haha brilliant. Thank you Brooke your practicality is a joy and your honesty is a lost art. I appreciate it.
I love this information!! I have had emergencies and used a bag inside my car. Not ideal, but necessary in those instances!! I love your complete honesty & candor on this subject.
I have watched a lot of videos about “how to” with all the bathroom questions because if you have not done it or figured it out … you want to know HOW you can do it…. well … I mean to tell you … most UA-camrs do not explain it … which leaves those of us at home that want to venture out but can’t figure out those possible bathroom emergency situations and it’s holding us back…. You are so informative and the most honest, real person and video I have ever watched!!
I subbed immediately after this video… I love your complete honesty, which I have not seen with other UA-camrs
Sure appreciate your expressions on not leaving anything behind (toilet paper etc). Practices like that keep areas open for all of us to use and enjoy. Happy travels out there !
Thank you so much for the details on a very important aspect of car/van/RV living! A lot of videos don't cover this issue or they do it too quickly. Much appreciated!
Hands down the best camper advice videos... Time stamping is fantastic and advice is so practical and realistic. Love your personality. Brilliant delivery.
I use a portable men's urinal like disabled people use. Is wide enough for women. Had a secure lid and hold nearly a litre.
I wholeheartedly agree with you!! This can be a difficult topic for some people to talk about but you did it in a very nice way. Yep the 5 gallon bucket is out, it was annoying me in my Rav 4 last weekend on my very first solo SUV camping trip. It just took too much space. I must admit the kitchen size plastic bag look like a decent solution when necessary. This is the very first video of your channel I watched, it just came up on my feed and I am going to go back to your first video since you travel in your SUV and so on. Thank you lady🙏🌹
Welcome to the channel!
Same here! I just stumbled onto this site. I'm going back to view all of Brooke's videos now. Tks!
Talk about being real. Love it. Thanks for your honesty. This info helps a lot. Love the video. ❤
This is honestly the best help video for this emergency problem...thank you young lady....I think I can do this if I have to, even at my age...you stay safe, be well and happy...Merry Christmas too
Love, love, love your personality, the frank, direct straight talk💖💪👏👌. As a women, I've learned so much today even thus I've never been camping, much less living in the car/van/rv etc... Thank you sooo much for your experiences, details explanations throughout the "basics human needs and necessities" 😘
First time watching and was happy to hear real solutions to traveling and enjoying the country without worrying about where to pee or poop as I'm almost 80 and had to deal with these issues from time to time. Thank you very much!!
I admirer the openness of Brooke and the honesty.
You are truly courageous to address such a delicate issue...blessings to you.
Love this transparency and the emphasis on leave no trace. There’s nothing worse than seeing used TP and feminine hygiene products in our open lands.
We have a RV with a black tank but to be able to dry camp longer, we use the empty nut jars from Costco. The screw on lids are great to prevent leakage and they hold a lot of pee.
Yes! I hate seeing waste trash scattered, especially because my dog loves to try and get into it! Wow great tip on the nut jars! I might have to find one, I love my pee cup, but I’m always down to know what others are using!
I'm glad we're talking about this. One of my biggest fears is being in a minor collision and the contents going everywhere. I invested in some period panties awhile back and I love them.
I’ve used the nut butter jars w screw lids and they work well. Only downside is the capacity. I graduated to a large tall glass pickle jar (more capacity, no drip lid) and am a happy camper! I can get a number of uses out of it before it needs emptying. Happy times!
Completely 👍🏻💯%.
I don’t know how you deal with that time of the month. Mine was so bad I cringe to think about not having access to a bathroom. Kudos to you for being so brave and traveling like you do!
She has a pressurized shower from REI with a spray nozzle.

You’re my favorite person on UA-cam! Just discovered your channel & I appreciate your honesty, etc! You rock! ❤️🙏 All the best to you & sweet Pippa! 🐕
Thank you, people need to hear more straight talk like this, practical and useful info!
Girl, I feel you with the pee cup. The quart size to-go soup containers are also great and you can toss the lid on too if you have to keep it in the car overnight. I sometimes have 2 ready in case also. I love how raw this video was. I laughed out loud because this was so relatable!
I appreciate the zoomed-in parts when she is illustrating a point that might be uncomfortable for some. I loved it and was laughing to myself (out loud in a cafe). I'mma try some of these.
***The late night situations part cracked me up. Never happened to me yet, but had some close calls the morning after. 🌄 All about preparation people!
Appreciate the realness and helpful information 👍🏼 👌 🙏🏼
Wow, you are so impressive. I am really impressed how you're able to talk about this subject so openly.
Also thank you for all your ideas.
The most honest UA-camrs out there tbf. We appreciate you 🙏
Ha ha! I’ve done the same thing and it works perfectly! Amazing how I found out about this several years ago when I broke my leg and couldn’t just jump out of bed to go pee. Love your videos and your honesty. 🙏🏻👩🦳
This matter of fact honesty is refreshing! Thank you!! I’m subscribing.

Soooo helpful! Vital information that not many touch on with any comprehension. Thank you!
The duct tape cup holder is a great idea 👍🏼
It works so well! And who doesn’t benefit from some extra duct tape lol!
but would still want it to be a cup with a screw on lid, like a coffee cup
Thank you for your complete honesty about this subject. You are adorable! 🙂
What an informative video. I watch a few car camping video and wonder about the bathroom need. Thks for explaining in depth. You have answered my curiosity
Love her brutal honestly about something that anyone breathing has to deal with! Everyone poops & everyone pees. I honestly feel like pooping is powerful! It's apart of life. Love love love how you keep it totally 💯!!! ❤️
Excellent video straight talk. You are right about the pee cup, they work well. I camped in a minivan for awhile, the porta potty worked fine for night time peeing, but I managed to do #2 in public restrooms. People need to stop leaving messes and toilet paper in parks and open camping areas or they will all be closed sooner or later.
Thank you for your honesty & your tips. Talking about things other people won't. I admire that. And. I appreciate it. A lot. Super helpful. Bless you.
Love this! Thought I was weird worrying how I'd manage this sleeping in my car. Appreciate your honesty and humor about something that everyone does, but don't want to talk about😊
Thank you so much for this video! Seriously! You being so real and open is SO helpful!
You are welcome! I want to show the real behind the fun of travel life, even if you have to poop in a bag 😂
