When you gotta go

When I first started to plan my adventure, the question of how and when to go came up. During my investigation, I came across the "crapstrap"; I shit you not! Although I still chuckle at the photo, it's not for me.

Anyone who has spent time in the woods balanced up against a tree with their pants around their ankles praying they don't shit in their pants can appreciate the concern. After looking at my share of outdoor toilets, I'll place a link to my final choice.

I decided on just a flat folding seat; that's it. Many of the campsites have showers and toilet facilities, and even some of the free dispersed campsites that are free have toilets. I chose this for two reasons: one, I can use it when I am alone without a bag or bucket; plus, it folds flat for storage.

On the rare occasion where there are other campers and no toilet facilities, I can place a bag in a bucket under the toilet and bag out the solids.

There are also portable shower/toilet tents that are cheap, lay flat, and many instantly pop open. I'll place a link; remember, when you see my grubstake, keep in mind that I am on a fixed income. I purchased this last winter for $40 on Amazon as a customer return in like-new condition, so it pays to shop around.
