Wonderful visual demonstrations, funny. Trucker & SUV nomadder here; & for 10 yrs I've used a 2 gal plastic pale with a lid for my cheap toilet setup. Camco RV toilet treatment to 86 odor. Most people have enough natural padding on their hindends, so the foam edge thing is unnecessary in my book, especially on a smaller 2 gal pale. ***For women I recommend not even using bags, go right in the pale & then dispose of properly. Rinse if needed, then add a splash of the Camco to knock out smells. Why? Women usually do both 1 & 2's when doing a #2. This is messier to handle & dispose of in a plastic bag,..trust me!! Save yourself the mess & the environment, forget plastic bags. Oh, & put used toilet paper in the trash, not in the pale. 🧻🪣 Hope this helps folks who're on the GO! Safe & Happy travels to all. 10/4, overNout.
I made one without the foam ring, it hurts my butt, I am going to spend 1.25 and buy a pool noodle from dollar tree and attach it to the rim. Maybe a pipe foam insulation from Home Depot which is thicker.
"How to sh*t in the woods" by Kathleen Meyer is a great read. " Have Toilet Roll, Will Travel", carrying your roll on your pack . Got a "luggable loo" on sale one day. Used to keep it in the car as my wife had problems.. Spagnum or peat moss to put in the bag will absorb liquid and let you go more than once in a bag. Thank you for the how-to, Tim. Stay safe and stay cool
It is feasible to carry a five gallon bucket 2 or 3 miles into the woods. You can carry all the rest of your other stuff in the five gallon bucket. If I was in a semi-permanent camping site, I would cut the bottom of the five gallon bucket out.. I would dig a hole and put the bucket on top of it. I would put my toilet paper in the hole as well. When I was done, move the bucket, fill in the hole and everything goes back to mother earth. You could also put clumping kitty litter in the bottom and dispose of it that way. When you get done, put the lid on it and wahla....no smell.
Greyt tips on this necessary topic my friend! You really made me chuckle this morning Tim. That demonstration tho! 🤣 As Xander's servant I'm most familiar with toting around bagged 💩 🙄 👍 ~ Kristine
Pool noodle or pipe wrap - voila! Solves the problem. Have 2-gallon bucket which is fine but none of the portable seats fit it. Slit a pool noodle - genius!
OMGosh darnit!!! I REALLY LOVED YOUR IDEA ON how to make a OUT side camping toilet. What a simple but great idea i will be making me one thanks for sharing.
I always look for a spot with 1-2 inch diameter young saplings nearby so I can grab hold of something when the going gets tough. But hey, that's just me.
