Just dump it at the base of a tree. Your feces will invigorate the land, and renew nature. It's the natural way of things. Everyone knows this.

When using a port-a-john I usually dump my waste in the toilet. I've been in some where people have decided to dump their waste on the floors or walls though.

I just crap in a remote location far from the camp-site. I try to bury it with a shovel as well as the paper. I would bring the portable toilet with me, but would never use it. Even if you dump it, you still have to clean and sanitize it. You're in the middle of the woods so crap in the woods.

Wow...you people really spend money on toilets of all things when you go camping? Every time I've gone camping, even then women, each one of us went off and and squatted behind some remote bush/tree. Spending $ on toilets when you have the woods with you is like bringing sand to the beach... We would all bury it nicely but I cant see myself spending $100-200 on a toilet....

Have you ever taken a leak on the side of the road or some other convenient spot where there was no bathroom? I just don't get it, buying a toilet to bring with you camping...like bringing sand to the beach.

I dunno, when you have an entire group (4+) going camping (not backpacking) for several days in the same spot it is worth it to not have everyone burying shit all over the place.

Fair point...I've only backpacked and in general, camped out at a spot not for longer than 1-2 days. Plus I figured that when backpacking, someone will have to end up carrying the "shitter" and good luck finding someone to volunteer.

Why not make a game out of it? Call it "The Minefield." In the night, bury random amounts of money in the same field and then at the end of the week give everyone a shovel. :awe:

EDIT: Did anyone else read the review for the toilet?

Actually I would forgo buying a portable toilet, but the park rangers will check if each party has a portable toilet. The camp ground is actually on an island park with a small section carved out for camping, so they really don't want campers to dig and poop on the beach.

For those campsites I usually bring a portable toilet just for the visual evidence in case they check. But I still go shit in the woods with the bears.

Obligatory Cousin Eddy reference

twitter_full_cousin_eddie.jpg

Ellen: What are you looking at?
Clark: Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn... the clean, cool chill of the holiday air... and an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer...
Eddie: Shitter was full!
Clark: Ah, yeah. You checked our shitters, honey?
Ellen: Clark, please. He doesn't know any better.
Clark: He oughta know it's illegal. That's a storm sewer. If it fills with gas, I pity the person who lights a match within ten yards of it.
