RE: [Paddlewise] The call of nature?

With the invention of the NRS Expedition Jane wetsuit and the female relief
zip, you no longer have to depant yourself.   Just unzip and scoot forward a
bit...

An alternative to rafting up would be to use a paddle float outrigger.  I'm
sure you'd only use that if you were alone... I mean, if you're gonna
attract attention to yourself, might as well ask someone to hold your boat
while you go pee and save yourself the trouble.

Women can also take advantage of the drysuit relief zip (Kokatat makes one
that you can have installed as an option).   One of the female WW kayak
instructors I know was giving a class on the river when they stopped for
lunch.  She went into the bushes and while standing up released her relief
zipper and used the freshette to relieve herself.  During her pee, a male
student walked up from behind and witnessed this event -- but, of course, he
couldn't see the tool.  He freaked out and wouldn't look at her the duration
of the class.

>>It definately requires rafting
up (with a close friend), popping the skirt, lifting the hips enough to drop
your drawers (dropping them far enough to position the equipment), scooting
the hips to the edge of the seat so the funnel can be positioned (it
basically points down)...<<
