The Best Way to Go to Bathroom Off the Grid

Going camping is a great way to enjoy nature and just get away from it all. But when you’re miles away from civilization, with no indoor plumbing or even a pit toilet in sight, how do you go to the bathroom?
Let's face it, for most guys, the answer is pretty simple, at least when it comes to going pee, taking a whiz, or whatever you want to call it. But for women or when it’s time for more “solid” efforts, it can get a bit more challenging. And, believe it or not, there is a right way and a wrong way to take care of business when you’re camping in remote locations.
In this video, Regena and I discuss the different ways you can go to the bathroom when you’re off grid and we will talk about which ones are best for treading lightly and leaving things better than you found them. We have used several different types of camping toilets on our overland adventures during the past few years and we will share our firsthand experience of the pros and cons of each, including a cassette toilet, a foldable toilet with disposable waste bag, and the good ‘ol shovel and cathole technique.

I bought the whole privy kit from you, except for the plastic shovel I agree it’s excellent. The toilet folds downs small, holds the bag extremely well, and is very strong. The bags are the best ever when it comes to strength and odor blocking.

@regenakowitz 2 года назад

It is a great kit. The only thing I just couldn't get onboard with was the pop up privacy tent (or should I say "hat") that came with it. 😂

Years ago when I had a pop-up camper this subject was one that always came up, especially if we were dispersed camping. I finally bought a cassette toilet and that made things much much better. The whole subject is one that many do not think about or even talk about, but "Leave no trace" takes many forms and this is one of them. Until next time... Travel Safe.

@soulfullatina68 2 года назад

My old gripe about 'glamping' is the bathroom situation. which is why I haven't been able to venture past campsites. However, I'm ready to truly dry camp and toileting is one of those primary components to camping that is often difficult to discuss. Thanks so much for the video.

You guys, I wouldn't expect that this topic could be that interesting and entertaining. The way you talk about 'the business' is so natural and comfortable. Thank you for sharing your experience with different equipment. I actually found foldable one with lid, and you can use it with one bag multiple times, you just need the cat litter to put after every use. Haven't tried yet, so interesting how is going to work. Thanks again!

We use a round 5 gallon bucket with a seat made to fit and bags. Nice thing is you can pit the lid on the bucket and get a tight seal when transporting. Seal off the bags and leave in the bottom of the bucket with a fresh bag over used bags.

@Heimalima 2 года назад

Watched quite a few videos about this special problem, yours is one of the best! Didn’t know this type of folding seat, will check it out. Did you made any reviews of privacy tents?

@regenakowitz 2 года назад

Thank you! The folding toilet is definitely my favorite because it is so easy and convenient to use. We have not done privacy tent reviews because I've only had the one...the Nemo. We've been using it for about three years and I love it. I know lots of folks love their pop up ones because they are easier to put up and break down than mine, which does have a frame. Having said that, my tent is still pretty quick and easy to put up...it takes about 5 minutes. Same with break down. But I like mine because it's totally enclosed (it has a floor), whereas most of the pop ups are not. Having it totally enclosed means no critters, especially mosquitos, are likely to make their way into my tent.

@regenakowitz 2 года назад

Thank you! To answer your questions... No, we've never had one of the toilet bags leak. They're pretty durable. Yes, we put them in the trasharoo, usually inside of one of our other trash bags. We empty the trasharoo whenever we have the opportunity and it's always been fine for a day or two.

@NemeanLion- 2 года назад

I think if the folding toilet bags leaked, it wouldn’t be their favorite. Also at the end he said you dispose of the bags as you would a diaper, so I assume you can throw it in the regular trash. Personally, I would put them in an contractor trash bag until the end of the trip and either throw it in a public dumpster or if I took it home, outside in the bin.

@regenakowitz 2 года назад

Thank you! I'm looking into biodegradable bags and want to give them a try, since I feel guilty about adding plastic to landfills. But I don't know about burying them...we'd probably still throw the away, but feel better knowing they'll biodegrade in a landfill rather than sit there for ages.

You forgot to show the best feature about the portable foldable Instaprivy which is the mini privacy tent that covers you while you are sitting and taking care of "business" and then folds up into that backpack so you dont actually need a full sized seperate tent.

You should call this a Public Service Announcement. It’s a subject everyone on the trail should be educated about. The cassette toilet has been a definite game-changer for us. To stretch its use on a trip, we use it only for #1 and when no public facilities are available, as well as during the night. We have the one you featured. When we know we won’t be near a dedicated bathroom AT ALL on our trip, in addition to the PortaPotti we will bring along our other contraption, which is a black bucket with toilet seat attachment that uses waste bags containing bio-gel. I guess you could call it an off-brand Luggable Loo. This is for #2. We’ve not tried the shovel approach. 🙂Thanks for posting about this delicate subject!

The best part about it is the pop out privacy curtain that is suspended from a hat. Very innovative and lightweight. You can use it virtually anywhere (without the risk of poison oak bum rash).

A luggable loo or 5 gallon bucket with sawdust/wood shavings. Hunting season currently in play and it's the season of lazy people pooping in the road. Just too lazy to walk off the road into the trees where it will be out of sight. In dry climates it's worse than in wet climates I think. Something I just recently heard about but never have done is sitting on a downed tree or stump and hanging your bum over the side, definitely would be easier on the legs, but I still just squat mostly. Now the discussion should be about when you have no TP, what do you use? This really is a topic that needs to be discussed more frequently.

You have to watch out with those cassette toilets at altitude. My buddies wife used theirs that was not pressure equalized. The poor lady got a shower all across her back and the side of the tent. Reportedly she took it like a trooper and was laughing even through the cleanup but nooooo, thanks. Give me my Thunderbox any day after hearing that story.

THANK you for making this video! Hopefully enough people will catch on to the pack in/pack out regimen. We have the 3 legged wobbly wonder seat, but I really like the new foldable you have. Plus the carry case is super awesome. We all 💩💩💩but nobody wants to find it anywhere. Seriously, thank you both for making this video.

How much weight can the foldable toilet hold. ? Because I'm 275 pounds. 😂

Even though i could use a Modern Toilet i have chosen well over Thirty Years ,to do it in a Hole in the Soil. Three Feet in diameter. Three Feet Deep . Each use throwing a little Soil chewing it up with the Shovel . This Soil at the start is basically dry dead Soil . At the end of the process it is rich alive Soil with Worms etc ! Shoveling it into Pots for vegetation etc.....

When I sleep in my RTT I keep an empty Gatorade bottle because climbing down that ladder drunk in the dark at 4AM sucks.
