I spent years trying out a bunch of different camp toilets, but I didn't like any of them. This one changed that! It's cheap and incredibly compact, taking up barely any room in your vehicle.

Thanks for watching! It looks like the stool has sold out (here's an Amazon affiliate link for it: amzn.to/2RnNPhv), but any folding stool in this type of form factor can be used.

Biodegradable 8 gallon bags and beers a hint coconut fiber absorbs way more moisture and extremely quickly plus better and cheaper than kitty litter.

@pjetenere1 3 года назад

In the Australian outback, we have been using the same as your seat belt one for 50yrs or more, (originally it was made from leather)

@pixalu 3 года назад

I just cut the fabric in half and slide it over like you do the straps. Beware of some of these collapsible ones. Mine is crappy and the legs keep sliding out whenever I try to move the stool stool around. I had to tape all the joints to provide a firmer join. I would have preferred a stool that simply folds open instead of all these joins.

@udmbfckx2916 Год назад

My take/modifications: 1) Use pine bedding pellets/shavings....More economical, better pine smell. 2) Try to separate the pee (i know I can as a male) from the poop bag by using a urinal. The pine pellet bag can be reused and last longer.

That's cool! The end to your years long quest for the perfect camp toilet! I remember your prototypes. This is by far the most compact. Thank you for making it so easy. I like your seatbelt mod too. Seatbelt material might even be stronger than the material that comes on the stool. You really are inventive.

@nomansland4811 2 года назад

@DannyB-cs9vx 3 года назад

Excellent idea. For a guy, you could hang a bottle off of the front for a urine diverter. Keeping liquid and solid separate would keep the smell down and maybe make the bag multi use, ( as in hold several rounds). Sort of what they call a composting toilet. When hammock camping I find a small laundry detergent bottle works good if you cut out the top piece that acts like a funnel. The side handle makes it easier to hold in place. Very durable and seals well.

@colleendaniels6409 3 года назад

Great minds think alike! I made a "potty chair" just like yours. I used a $4 chair (but the legs don't break down as small as yours) and some gorilla tape. Like you, I melted the edges with a lighter, then covered the edges with gorilla tape. Works great! Best $4 investment ever! So much easier to deal with than the old standby Homer bucket!

@bjmsamrlm 3 года назад

A slightly less compact alternative that leaves less/no trace is a 5 gallon bucket with a GAMMA lid, a cheap foam toilet seat (optional, for comfort), and some peat moss (optional, for composting). Regardless, it's best to urinate separately.

Thank you for this very helpful video. Even easier is the Texsport folding toilet, my fav. Not expensive and really perfect for its function. Unless there is some emergency I use it only for number two. For number one I use a colored sports water bottle and it’s easy to empty at any fast food restaurant, gas station, etc. no one knows what it is. But please empty it into a toilet, not into a sink.

I use a milk crate. Stretch a kitchen garbage bag over the crate then put a normal (oblong) toilet seat over it. It is very sturdy, works great and you don't leave any waste outdoors for the next camper to find. Also, it's best if you go number 1 first before using the toilet.

This method works great! In my own build i used a smaller camp stool from amazon. The smaller stool weighs less and fits easily into a backpack side pouch. Since i lack any sewing skills, i bought some strong velcrostraps. Wrapped them around the stool and Used zip ties to keep tension on both sides. Maybe spent 35$ on the set up and im just thrilled at the aspect of getting out there into the piney woods and doing my business with no hesitation. THANKS BUDDY
