Pee bottle on Vinson
Also called: Pee bottle (+ funnel for women)
What it is for
A bottle to pee in at night without leaving the tent in the cold. Women can use a funnel.
What Vinson asks for
Standard
1 L or more, wide-mouth, clearly marked; a funnel for women: urine goes only in the marked pee holes
⚖Urine and grey water go only into the marked pee holes: at base camp beside the toilets, one at each high camp, more along the route. Anywhere else, use your pee bottle and empty it at a pee hole. Nothing is left on the snow.
