So you know, I'm not an engineer or anything but I joined this group because I was looking to make my BM experience that much better.
I think my biggest peeve was the whole bathroom experience at BM.
Now we all think lights in the portos would help (I agree).
Do you think there is any good way to make a bathroom for your camp that can be used when there is emergencies. (ie: Drunken pee at night when it's too far to go to the portos)
I dunno. Maybe the best answer is a bucket. But maybe we all can come up with something good.

Fri, October 21, 2005 - 10:04 AMsome camping stores carry little toilet seats that go on top of a standard 5 gallon plastic bucket. i've considered using these as personal toilets. it would be wise to have one for pee, and one for poop. you could keep a bag of kitty litter around, and throw a couple of scoops into the poop bucket every time you use it. you can get lids for the plastic buckets that go on pretty tight, for transportation. -

Fri, October 21, 2005 - 12:33 PMwow people have thought this out more than I have. Good advice guys. But now. If it's all in that bucket, where do you dispose of it? Load it out with you? Take it to the portos? What next? -

Fri, October 21, 2005 - 12:56 PMWhile on the playa I only have to go poo at most twice and even then they are magic little pellets that hard as rock so must of the toilet time is devoted to the voiding of urine. Since disposal of solid waste is so rare for me on the playa I don't bother to pack a method for campside containment and just hit the blue room instead on that rare occassion.
Since the golden flow is the primary problem I focus on that and finding a way to go safely void inside the tent on top of my bedding without making a mess of it. I just hate having leave my comfy bed for a trip in the cold dark morning to the blue room. -

Sun, October 23, 2005 - 3:01 PMwell it's not just me I am thinking about. I'm trying to think of my whole group of friends as well. It just really sucks when you have to go (in any respect of needing to "Go") and the portos are covered in fecal matter becos someone couldn't see/exploded that night or it's too cold to get out of bed to go all the way to the portos.

Mon, October 24, 2005 - 9:44 AMfor disposal, i would just take the poop bucket to the dump after BM. for the pee bucket, you could empty it into a porto, especially the urinal ones that are for the gents.
for the ladies, late night in-tent peeing can be accomplished using a pee funnel and a large plastic bottle. for the guys, no pee funnel is necessary. i was so much happier at night, once i discovered the way of the in-tent pee bottle.
