Guide Review

Spare... what?!
I've gotten some odd looks when mentioning the Spare Bladder to other hunters... it seems this item hasn't gotten a lot of press. But it can be handy, if you'd rather not urinate in the woods.

Opinions vary on whether or not the smell of human urine in the woods will spook deer or other game, but many hunters feel they shouldn't take a chance with it. The Spare Bladder performs as advertised, and is more compact and packable than a bottle. Directions are straightforward and include the possibility of use by women.

I also used the warmth of the gelled urine to warm my frigid fingers. That may sound gross to some, but hey, if we're going to pee in bottles and bags, what's wrong with using some of the residual body heat to our advantage?

If you don't like peeing in the woods or packing a bulky bottle around, then consider trying the Spare Bladder. Just be careful with it after it's filled... after all, it's just a plastic bag.
