This is embarassing to ask, but I need to figure out how to prevent this since he has started into Boy Scouts this year.

My 11 y/o son has never in his post-potty-trained life wet the bed. Yet, on 2 of 5 recent backpacking trips, he has woken up wet (claims once to have sweat, and another to have had a water bottle leaked).

Since he's sort of in denial, this is a hard one to talk to him about. About the only cures I can come up with are cutting him off of water or tea (all 3 of my kids are hot tea drinkers) two hours before bedtime, and forcing him to void himself before bed.

Anyone else had a problem like this? Could it be fear of going out of the tent in the middle of the night? Too warm of a sleeping bag?
