It's practical for half the population.

I wouldn't consider "sanitary conditions" a "social hangup" or taking an appropriate bathroom break "making life difficult."

I have never urinated in a bottle while camping, even in extreme weather.

Hiring people and then failing to plan an appropriate amount of time for them to take a break is wrong, and should be illegal.
- johtso 6y agoNot being a woman I can't speak from experience, but I've heard that it is totally possible to learn to do. Obviously not with a narrow necked drinking bottle, but with a Nalgene or similar. There was an interesting podcast on the subject by a mountaineer talking about the need to be able to pee without leaving your sleeping bag when on Everest (or similar climbs where the cold is a serious risk to contend with). > Hiring people and then failing to plan an appropriate amount of time for them to take a break is wrong, and should be illegal. Totally agree.
