Peeing with small platforms

Although it may seem funny, but I always wondered how people pee in a saddle using smaller platforms?

It Depends. The jokes can keep going. Honestly, if I am hunting a half day, I just avoid morning coffee. All day you have to go I guess.
 
It honestly is all about how comfortable you are with your system, and some contortions, while still feeling "safe". Fishing through layers is another thing, but I digress... LOL
 
I do it 1 of 2 ways. The more "stable" way requires a tether adjustment.....I raise.tether to where I can stand up vertically and then stand close to the trunk and aim off the side. U can always reattach a linesman belt to make it really secure.......with my tether set to where I hunt I am standing on a 30-45 degree angle off the trunk and I'll unzip and fish out first and then roll my hips until I can just whiz and it goes out and down. My back band is supporting under the ribs so I'm not doing a sideways plank. Just have to make sure I don't hit my saddle side pouch or linesman's belt cause they can dangle with gravity as get into the way. I just hold them back and out of the way with my low gravity side hand. Finish and shake, roll the hips, and put it away. I use a pursuit platform

First time I read this, I thought "How does he know my girlfriend, and why's she telling him about my small 'platform'?"...................
 
Just turn to the side, one foot on the platform, the other dangling in space. Turn a bit past 90 so the tether goes over your shoulder slightly and you'll be stable. If you can pee standing up you can pee like that.

The harder part is dealing with layers and winter shrinkage, but... Every man has to come to terms with that on their own lol.
 
I like to turn around with my back to the tree and run my tether over my shoulder to hold me then lean out with my hands to the sky. I call it “The Titanic Pee”.

That’s more or less how I do it on a ring of steps where you can’t actually stand up. But I’ve only had to once or twice since most of my sits are half days I just pee before I climb, go light on water intake and then pee when I get down.

Also if your rope climbing make sure you know where your repel rope is!
