That’s cool JaSAn but better tell folks to remove the bucket lid prior to use.

OK it's my turn,,, I am a light eater and a shapely figure... Not a lot of meat the occasional Filet Mignon, dark chicken meat ( I am  a thigh man ) and a few years back at the Mexican border at a campground at the Indian Casino near Yuma I was drinking way too much

$125.00 per month hookup for dental work, I'm an old fuxx. So exqueeze me. Have a great holiday season you all. Adrian

Not too sure this "bucket brigade system" would work for an extended trip for two and having TWO of those buckets would take up a LOT of real estate in any Alaskan or other camper I'm afraid. Women would find it the "Ick" factor to be hauling around a bucket of pee and a bucket of doo for any lengthy trip I think. Sure, you do need to dump a Porta-Potti more frequently than a month for two people but they are a compact system that fits into the closet.

 

Obviously any CG or rest stop or restaurant you stop in offers options if the timing is good to take care of #1 and #2.

 

However, any method you choose is good. I have been disappointed many times to find TP and human waste in the bushes near a lake or river or even close to a campsite. That is just plain rude, stupid and obviously ignores any thought to what you're gonna do with that "by-product".

 

So...what ever method you choose to Keep America Beautiful is fine by me fellas!

Anyone searched for “composting toilet rv” & thought about that solution? The bucket with peat moss is almost there.

It takes me a month to fill 3.5 gallon, I generally don't wait that long and have no noticable odor issues.

Wag bag waste disposal kits are designed for legal and safe disposal in trash for public landfill, but are expensive at $3 per poop. Might be possible to make your own cheaply if you know what chemicals to use.

We have made our own WAG bags for years buying the powder in bulk -

 

Poo Powder

 

We buy opaque 12" x 12" resealable bags from McMaster Carr and the appropriate sizes waste bags off the shelf at the grocery store.

 

I believe the last cost analysis I did was around $0.86 a bag.
