Why do climbers bring pee bottles for Mount Kilimanjaro?

Some climbers insist on taking a pee bottle on their hiking trip. Others find it disgusting and refuse using it. And even though it might seem strange at first sight, there are quite a few situations in which a pee bottle will come in very handy.

For example, you don’t need to leave your tent in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. On some nights it might only be cold, but there will potentially be times where the weather conditions absolutely discourage you from leaving your tent. It can even be dangerous if things get rough.

Perhaps the issue is not the weather, but your bladder. Having to pee multiple times during the night can be a real hassle for yourself but also possibly disturb your partner. With a pee bottle, you can easily dispose of your urine in the comfort of your tent.

And once you fill up your bottle, you might as well use it to keep your hand or feet warm during freezing nights.
