When you're on a boat and...

Nature calls, how do you respond to that? #1, Ok it's doable but for #2 - I mean, where can you go?

Kayak is a pedal drive, with a removable pedal drive unit, which, when removed, leaves a convenient and discrete hole for #1 in the middle of the deck. As for #2, haven't been there, don't want to be. Plan ahead and get that out of your system before you go.

Pool noodle and a bucket, always have one onboard but try to plan ahead and not need it while on the water

[Spankey]

A #1 is no big deal. 
 

#2 go into the woods. Shore or beach yourself and go do what you have to do. Keep a roll of TP or paper towels in a ziplock bag under your seat for just those times even though they are not something that is not a regular occurrence. Stay prepared. 
 

And for those using the ole bucket and a pool noodle on the rim, what are you doing with it? Keeping it on the boat till you’re done fishing?

 

Woods seem easier.

This might be slightly graphic but, here goes..

 

The last bass tournament I fished was a couple years ago, we were out on Lake O doing pretty decent but the fishing slowed down as it got clearer and hotter out. Nobody was really around and the morning coffee kicked in pretty good. Long story short, I stripped down to my boxers, jumped in the water and took my first ever aqua dump. Great teamwork was showcased that day as my fishing partner took over the trolling motor as I held onto the transom of my boat with my back to it, in an overhand grasp. While being dragged along, this provided a nice, safe momentous motion for my poop to be swept away. No fuss no muss. 

We finished that day with a 20+ lb smallie bag.

Not an option on the lake I fish. The entire shoreline in the area I fish is developed one way or another. From million+ dollar homes to parks to ritzy dining establishments and exclusive country clubs.

 

Only option I'd have is to go to one of the launches and use the porta-potty set up there...and hope it's close enough to make it.

My buddy just drops trou and goes over the side of the boat. Carries wipes with him and disposes of them in a separate trash bag.  I've also heard about the aqua-dump haha.

#1- wipe er' out and go

 

#2 Passenger side of boat

rag over side so you don't get skid marks on the side of the boat and you can sit on it

hang the rear over the side and hold on to the side rails 

let er' rip

rag you have on sidewall is now your wipe.

I'll make the trip back to the ramp if possible, if not I carry TP in the boat and do some hiking until I find an acceptable leaning tree. Nothing brings you in touch with nature quite like it.

I always carry an empty coffee container in my boat.  Sometimes I even use it for a #1 if I am around people.  Sit at the console, pee, dump it out, and go about your business.  And if a #2 calls, find someplace private, and unload.  I always carry baby wipes in the boat.  Put the top on when finished and go fish.  It's easy to throw away the entire container when you get back to the launch.  Nice and neat.

How big is the coffee container?  

[Shimano_1]

I always check out the lake if its a new one for porta John's etc. If nothing and its a have to case I've hit the woods a time or 2. Keep a roll or 2 in the boat

When nature calls, I take my game to the same place where bear, deer and moose do their business.

You will always find a roll of Paper Towel in my starboard well, and whenever I’m on a new lake,

I’ll scan the shoreline for hospitable spots to make landfall.   The rest is easy  ?

A standard Folgers plastic tub.  LOL- if it isn't big enough you've got some issues with your diet.  

 

On a side note, I fished with a guy in my old club a couple times who thought it was funny that you'd have to bring him in to the porta jon every time out fishing.  Maybe if the guy didn't eat a pound of steak every night before a tournament he wouldn't need to crap every tournament day.  Literally, all 4 times I got paired with him I had to take him to the toilet midday.  Wasted 20 minutes or so.  Kinda annoying.  Never had another coangler do that.  I was a younger guy in the club then.  Nowadays, I would give him my container and tell him the back deck is all his.

I picked up a box today for $3 at walmart in the tp section.  Was wondering if I can make due with 1 pack.   Reminds me of some joke my grandpa told me 30 years ago about folding 1 sheet of toilet paper.

That's why I carry a roll of Paper Towel.

Rather than predicting the future, I just take the whole paper roll in the woods

then return the paper roll to the starboard well

I guess you guys are too young to know about an ol'business card trick. Any business card will do, but stiffer the better.

Quit drinking the cheap beer the night before and you won’t have the squirts the next day. ?

[schplurg]

Don't crap in the water man! If you can't use shore...

 

- Bring a nice thick plastic grocery bag or similar.

- Lay it on the floor. Or a bucket, whatever.

- Squat and dump. This is actually a great position to completely evacuate your bowels.

- Clean yourself however you wish. Or not at all, what do I care? Jump in the water for this part, just no logs please. 

- Pack it ALL out with you.
