Re: [Paddlewise] Nature calls in a dry suit?

Here is some advise that might help.  Adult diapers,  You can relive
yourself in relative comfort without spoiling your clothes or giving up the
warming properties of the suit and clothing.  However you need to be able to
pack out what you bring in.

Have fun going to your local supermarket to pick up a pack.  Or Better yet
ask you wife to get them.  Pay back.

Cheers
