So where do you go when you have to go? Some people dig a hole, some find a nice log, but in this modern day and age when camping among our fellow adventure enthusiasts, one must adhere to quality, courtesy, and good sanitation practices when in the bush. So my question is what do you have with you on your long trips into the hinterboonies. Do you lug a Porta Potty, a Thetford, or a five gallon bucket with a Luggable Loo? Where is it one goes when one has to poo? Besides a shower, how do you keep your spouses happy with some of the more modern comforts while away from home? What is your preferred modem of latrine?

Your latrine has a modem??

Wow! Talk about modern conveniences. ;)

Thetford Porta Potti but only in lieu of a loo. Getting better at dumping Porta Potti in an RV sani-dump.

We carry a PETT toilet and WAG bags and for the middle of the night Little Johns with a Lady J adapter for my wife.

5gal bucket with seat. I have wag bags and extra bags with cat litter on board the camper. I've only used it once. Guess I haven't gotten off the grid enough. My favorite place to travel to has a pit toilet. The 5gal bucket is usually used for trash.

When off the grid (most of the time) I visit the woods or the sagebrush with a spade and dig a good hole.  In more populated camps with zero amenities, I use Wag Bags with a cheap, fold-up potty seat (not PETT).

Thetford 465 Porta Potti with electric battery operated flush (when not in a campground with facilities) and an inside, nice and breeze free, with a clean and dry floor, portable shower powered by a Zodi Extreme outside the camper for my wife unit. When she's happy I get excellent cooked gourmet meals, then I'm happy. So, yeah, my ATC Bobcat is a mini RV. I can build a lot and keep it light weight into a very small space.

Hey, if you have to go, I don't want a visit ;-)

We never pooped in our tent and likewise do not want to go in our camper. We'll use a rest room if available, otherwise just dig a hole. That can be inconvenient at times but it's part of camping. 

 

Stopped at a roadside hunter's camp the other day and saw this custom setup. Didn't use it.  ;)
