That is hilarious description of your trip to the Arctic Circle. I can only imagine trying to get out of the sleeping bag in the tent and not pee in the interim. I am also in a sleeping bag right now, in Bozeman Montana, but I'm not having the difficulties you're having getting out to go in the night because I'm in a camper van.

You remind me of the efforts that I made to make it easier for myself when we climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. I bought a gadget that was supposed to help women p like a man. However you don't have to use your imagination too much to realize what would happen when a woman with Parkinson's tremors tried to use the gadget. Tried it once and failing miserably, gave it away.

Glad to hear the biking helps so much.
