Boomers: Introducing the World's Lightest Camping Toilet
Breakthrough: introducing a totally new ultralight camping toilet. Ultralight Wilderness Toilet Co (UWT), lead by an ardent wilderness aficionado, has invented the world’s lightest camping toilet. Over 3-years in development - “It had to fold to fit into a backpack while still leaving plenty of room for all the other stuff people carry, but it also had to unfold into a sturdy toilet for people weighing up to 250 pounds” - UWT is now in full production.
L. Mark Marchus, President of UWT, says that his inventions (the Packit Toilet and the Cat Hole Digger) will make camping a whole lot easier for people who hate to squat and for those who miss their home toilet. He says he had in mind the fishermen and hunters and kayakers and cross-country skiers and rafters and RV enthusiasts who are not so young anymore - which makes squatting an adventure in itself - when he began designing the Packit Toilet.
“The Boomers are aging. Many of them have knee problems or hip problems or have suffered some injury in an auto accident or taken a fall and still suffer from it. Many have told me they want to go into the wild places and hike and camp out, but squatting is impossible. There are no toilets, or the toilets are pitiful, or overwhelmed from use, and so they don’t go.”
The Packit Toilet kit, which includes the Packit Toilet, the Cat Hole Digger, 12 biodegradable greenbags, and a roll of biodegradable toilet paper, will make it possible for millions of people with back problems or knee and hip problems to enjoy the wild places and the wild things that inhabit them.
