Thread: Pooing in the outdoors

    Pooing in the outdoors

    Yup it's a poopie thread!

    Whether it's "droppin the kids off", "Bakin some brownies" or just plain "gonna go take a dump", we all do this (I hope!). Anyway, when nature called in the wilderness I've always just dug a nice hole (shallow grave). I've always considered looking at those portable containers to assist with the "relaxation of the poopie experience". At any rate I'd like to get some feedback on the various gadgets available to make the pooing experience a better one.

    Here's some cool stuff I found over the years of surfin:

    PETT Portable Toilet from Sierra Expeditions
    Cabela's Portable Pooper from Cabela
    Thetford Porta Potti from Camping World (MFG Link)
    Reliance Luggable Loo Portable Toilet from Target

    Personally I'll still do the shovel and call it a day because I just can't imagine myself luggin the poo bag in the cabin while we drive to the next destination. To me keeping the nuclear waste in the cabin can be deadly

    this is what the "kickout" on your sliders are for

    A trick I learned in the marines:

    Use your military style folding shovel to dig your "grave"

    Fold the handle on the shovel so that it is at a 90degree angle

    Put shovel in ground and rest one cheek on the shovel handle

    This worked great when you are out in the middle of the desert with no bushes, trees, etc.. to lean on.

    Don't forget to read the book on the subject too.

    Re: Pooing in the outdoors

    You know Lance this is an excellent thread. Nothing I like more(almost nothing anyway) than a good camping Poo!

    I bought the Luggable Loo Toilet seat and some of the Poo bio bags and put them on a Home Depot bucket. I really like this set up. Super Cheap. The bags are the key here though. The bags are very strong and have powder stuff in them to cover at least a days worth of use for 3 people and a very effective double zip lock seal. No odors at all. No clean up either after all said and done.

    The way I use the system is to open a bag on the bucket rim, place the toilet seat, do your business and then tuck the opened bag back into itself and seal the zip lock. Place zip locked unful bag in the bottom of the bucket for further use later int he day or weekend. No smell or mess or clean up. Really a nice system.

    Also of note is the the opening in the seat is not huge so men should do #1 business in the woods. This will also make the bio bag powder stuff last longer. However, the small opening works good for children as young as 2 year old. So you don't have to bring a seperate potty chair for them so they don't fall in as they say.

    Enjoy!

    Boy have I done some slider slidin while death grippin my driver's side slider. Man Mexican food night went so wrong for me at 0300 last year at Superstition.

    This is all well and good Chris but if you want to entice your Lady to go out and "rough" it with you(helps you to get more vehicle mod's when you let them drive, hint hint) then a crap station of some sort will help for sure!

    so true! I've already been looking at adding a shower/privy shelter and some type of toilet to our camping gear. Especially since I will now be camping with two ladies.

    Re: Pooing in the outdoors

    i plan on employing a home depot bucket, WITH lid, and a collection of trash bags. put bag in, squat on bucket, do business, tie up bag. may be reused or one use (ill spend the extra few cents on another bag...)

    also worth mentioning. using moist wipes (baby wipes or other) is a great idea! gets you really clean, esp when you dont have a shower to wash yourself down there). plus you dont get the butt itchies in the middle of the day...

    Re: Pooing in the outdoors

    After you're done taking the Browns to the Super Bowl, it is a good idea to push a stick upright into the dirt so that nobody has a chance of stepping through the layer of dirt.


    Kinda like marking a landmine, I guess.

    One book every camping toilet connaisseur should flip though is call "Up Shit Creek" (Can I say that?! ) No joke, it's a real book. http://www.amazon.com/Shit-Creek-Col...1153519&sr=8-1 I received a copy for Christmas a couple years ago. It's a bunch of short stories about rafting trips where you pack EVERTHING out.

    These rafting guides use a military ammo can that they call a "groover". This name comes from the unfortunate people who forget to pack the toilet seat

    Anyway, it's a good read
