My 2 bobs worth...
What is wrong with doing it the way nature intended? Hanging free in nature.
I mean, one extra piece of kit, also means another thing to clean which means you need more soap and more water... and of course if you are hygene conscious then you wouldn't use the same vessel for drinking water, so you need to keep it separate from other gear. No matter what Bear Grylls says or does.
If it's raining, you get wet. If there are loads of mosquitos then you'll probably get bitten and if it is freezing cold then you might freeze something important.
If you're in public then take this example:
In India and Africa, buses that travel long distances stop on the side of the road to let everyone off for a toilet break. When these stops are in the wild and there are no facilities then it's very common to see all the men go to one side of the bus and the women all go to the other side of the bus to pee, just in the open, like animals. When done, they all go back into the bus.
I'm sure you could as a biker find a small tree or shrub, well, that is unless you are in the dessert and there isn't anything but sand and rocks for 400kms! Then you have your bike...
