Got back last night from camping in scotland and came up with a great idea for converting one of those foldable seats into a toilet seat. (laying in front of the camp fire looking at the starts and smoking weed is a great combination for *thinking up useful ideas)

So got home to find someone has already thought of it Crying or Very sad I thought i was gonna be rich Embarassed

Anyway, this is brilliant so thought i'd post it up here.

It's always been a part of camping out that i hated because it seems to take a lot more effort squeezing one out when i'm not sitting. Or is that just me? Embarassed

Seems a bit pricey though Neutral

*Seem usefull at the time

Having done the deed at the summit of mount kenya at minus stupid temperatures just with a simple squat, im pretty sure that it's a pointless product, if you need to go, you'll go Smile

Can usually tell which burrow holes are active and which ones don't have residents so it's easy enough to decide which rabbit hole to make your toilet. Thumbs Up

Does that mean you go for the active ones so that you get a little auto wipe with the fluffy ears!!? Shocked

No

It's best to go for the ones that are empty because that means you can take a shit without thinking about the sort of question that Big Ham mentioned.... 'what if it's not a rabbit living down there but a small badger!?!?!'

Screw nappy bags, I needed these triple bagged when I was in France. Shame I didn't have any on me, so ended up crop spraying Smile

That 'bog in a bag' product the OP posted... is that stool just one of those poundland jobbies?

If so, fuck sitting on one of those! They are tiny and so close to the ground your more comfortable sitting on the floor, i bought one on a whim, got it home and presumed it stretched out a bit, it doesen't...


Dig a hole between two trees, brace yourself between the trees with your legs out in front (important!) curl one out, cover it, dispose of toilet paper separately or plant it with it... and voila

If you fail to put your legs out in front then you cack all over your pants, not cool. Laughing

Brace yourself between two trees? Easier just to find a small one to hold on to.

Pack a lighter to set fire to used toilet paper was the advice I was given - personally it's a potential messy nightmare and fire hazard to boot! Shocked

Just use as little paper as possible, bury with the rest or take the scented nappy bags, put used paper in there and dispose of it asap in a refuse bin!

I'm very lucky as on the whole my bowel and bladder are very well behaved and wild camping friendly as tested recently. I was able to either wait until we stopped at a cafe for a breakfast and make use of more salubrious facilities or I toodled off, dug my latrine with a rock/stick and found a tree to lean against to make it easier! I'm not a fan of using wild facilities but given the state of some of the WC's in France on occasion I chose to make like a bear!! Mr. Green
