DofE pee

Hey I’m going on my DofE expedition at the end of August and one night we are wild camping (no toilets) the instructor said do it one night so you are prepared for gold as you will be wild camping all night but I have no idea how to pee outside I know people have asked this before but I’m getting anxious. Is it worth investing in a shewee whether for silver or gold and if you have any tips. Also how do I poo outside I don’t think I will on silver but I more than definitely will need to on gold. Please answer below how YOU would go (so boys don’t try and guess how girls go) alternately you can fill out a form here: https://goo.gl/forms/pGNqeQvVLQYqmLWl1
Thanks

bring some bog roll with you, film it and send it to me afterwards so I can use it for research

And is your research watching people get covered in pee because that’s what’s going to happen
Trust me man, no one cares, just turn a corner and squat in a bush. No hyenas are going to chase after you. Bring a headtorch.

Weirdly enough I actually did wild camping for all of my Silver nights and none of my Gold but that's just how my school did it. Just take some wet wipes/loo roll and make sure the team have a trowel between them. Probably best not to announce you're going to the toilet before you do to avoid annoying teammates tagging along. It's not really anything to worry about to be honest. You're only wild camping for a night so it's not bad

I just had an all male team so they thought it would funny to try and film but if you have a decent team that's not a problem. It was just something I wish I hadn't done lol

You're lucky then. DofE can be a great experience when you have a good team. Enjoy!
I did it no problem I just made sure I had some toilet roll and hand sanitizer with me

That makes everything easier then. Hopefully the heatwave won't still be around in August because it's a nightmare when it's hot!
