looking for consumer review on, um, range extender bottles

A friend told me a while back that that a couple of pilots purchased
every type of human relief container, and armed with prior consumption
of a gallon or so of coffee or tea, made a test flight and reported on
the pros/cons of each. I think this could be quite funny but have
never been able to find the article. Anybody know of the source?

The guys I used to fly to autoraces learned their lesson after the first
trip. Subsequent trips they brought along empty one-gallon anti-freeze
bottles.
Personally, I carry the piddle packs that contain the stuff used in
disposable diapers. $4 for a pack of three in the camping department at
KMart.

I fly jumpers....if my bladder gets out of synch with fuel needs it can
be distressing. One fine afternoon I got out of synch but think no
bigge...I have a water bottle. When I took the cap of the bottle I
dropped it..grrr. Filled the bottle then being worried about a spill I
decided to toss it out the window. Slowed up, opened the window and
moved the open top bottle out into the slipstream....


I called manifest and had the next load bring me a rag to clean up my
sunglasses, inside of the door, windshield....


I now use the piddle packs with the gel forming stuff....much better. G

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Some long range cross country glider pilots use external catheters.

I've seen a thing advertised as the Stadium Buddy. Must be the same thing.
You wear a rubber attached to a tube that runs into a reservoir strapped to
your leg.

Personally, I haven't run into this problem, but I think I'd go with the
piddle packs.

IIRC. AOPA Pilot several years ago. Before Rod Machado began writing a column
for them.
