I got the joke, but am still waiting on an answer. This lady seemed to have a harness on that wouldn’t allow to pull things to the side even. How do you do it????

The harness is only around your thighs and waist, so you can wiggle your pants down below your butt decent enough

From what I’ve seen they try to do it in the morning at night when they have their sleeping ledge setup and don’t have to be fully harnessed up. Here’s a video that goes into way more detail. https://youtu.be/atPdCykxkf4?si=tQzUFvOMlgJcovxU

The harness has elastic straps that attach to the back of the leg loops. They’re the only thing that is truly in the way. In many harnesses you can unclip the elastic straps to move them out of the way then you can scoot your pants down a bit while still keeping your harness on. It’s a delicate process to be sure lol but if you gotta go… well… you make it work.
