I got caught in a snow induced traffic jam last winter. Spent several hours stuck in the center expressway lane.
What did I desperately need?
A pot to piss in. Really!
Don’t forget an empty container.

Toilet paper is a necessity; I returned from my first backpacking trip with no socks in my combat boots. Not that I didn’t bring TP; I just didn’t bring enough (and 1980s MREs are murder).

I’ve also noticed that hand-cranked flashlights have come down in price; I got a free one renewing a AAA membership, and they were handy during the post-Sandy blackout here in NJ. I also had mini-Mags, and I was able to use their batteries in the radio.

Yeah, a container that can be closed is best.

For women that is a little more difficult but they sell a container that has a funnel like attachment. I was thinking of other containers the other day when talking with my sister for something a young girl could use. Empty coffee can, bucket with a seat ( with bags to keep it clean), a storage container like you keep cereal or pasta. I plan to look at the $ Tree next time.

If it has a lid and you keep it clean you can use the warmth it has for a few minutes. Then dump it out for next use.
