When you're in the woods and you need a place to go, you can at least go comfortably with this wilderness lifehack!
Lots of you have probably been putting garbage bags in buckets for this kind of thing (or just been using buckets, you savages), but why not add a little extra luxury for a few added dollars, and put a pool noodle seat on it? You can even hang the paper roll from the handle.
One thing I might add, if I were doing this– maybe consider reinforcing the pool noodle with some duct tape if you’re going to use it for more than one trip. You don’t need an unexpected bucket-butt meeting.
Please remember to pack your lysol and hand sanitizer. For everyone's sake. See the detail on how to make this porta potty here.
With a little ingenuity we can come up with a field-expedient bidet, too...
Anyone who buys this should be banned from going into the wilderness so that we don’t have to pay to rescue them.
I believe the term "glamping" came about a few years ago to describe those that only, sort of, might, want to experience nature.
Slit Trench...Dig 1x2x4’...Secluded, downwind and downhill/ remote from streams or water sources...
Remnant roll of TP...Remove cardboard tube...Stuff TP into tube and leave center end exposed...Carry in ruck or pocket...Pull out needed sheets, clean yourself, then dispose in trench...Cover with loose dirt from trench after doing your business...Wash/sanitize hands...
Refill trench with remaining dirt before leaving the area...No brainer, even an Infantryman can do it!
What’s the roll of paper for?
In case you forgot the shells...
Seriously, we live in the sticks, and had genuine hill billy neighbors (until sent to nursing homes) that did not have running water or toilets in their home.
They did use 5 gal pails. Talk about a nasty smelling home. I’ve been in totally nasty campground outhouses that smelled better than their kitchen. It’s how they grew up, and never changed with the times.
Imagine being invited over for coffee & donuts and trying to down that stuff. Trust me, it wants to come right back up.
My parents came from a culture where you had good squatting muscles because there wasn’t much furniture to sit on, and you sat around by squatting. So if you are not launching one, but rather having a “failure to launch” or just having a long, hard time, then your legs are going to give out if you don’t have much practice squatting.
As a female, doing any type of business also requires that you aren’t around much brush or you might find a tick riding you.
My trick was to take my little trovel and find a tree with low hanging branches to hold onto. Well, I would improvise, making sure it was well off the path. Like the time I was surprised by the Boy Scout troupe.
Thank God for modern toilets with bidets.
Also, what about all the fishes that live in the ocean?
How positively... Natural.
To clean off yer corn cobs, of course.
