Now, Finally, a "Personal Toilet" That Makes Sense
IMAGINE --- you're hiking with some friends in some backcountry area. It's summer. It's warm. You're at peace with the surroundings as if a child at play. Not a care in the world. But you're also far from a public toilet, which was perhaps part of your reason for heading out into the wild in the first place. You wanted to get away from so-called "civilization." Then suddenly you get the urge to go. You have to poop, like NOW! You start looking around for a place. A little panic sets in. You want to be alone, but you're with some friends. Having been through this before, you can't help think about a possible mess, like that time you accidentally pooped on your jeans, and the time before that when you lost your balance near that tree at night and...
It's always been hard to manage the "where to poop and what-to-do- with-it-after problem in the wild places." It's almost always a potential mess and a hassle to find a place to poop - especially at night. People poop on their shoes, their underwear...YUK! It can really get embarrassing; turn a great day into a real bummer. Okay, you think you found a place. You squat and go. Now what? What do you do with your poop and the toilet paper? Didn't bring a trowel or shovel, right?. Can't bury it. Oh, the really hardcore types tell you to smear it on rocks. Right. Or just grab a stick and dig a hole. But there are no rocks. There are no sticks. Then what? Guess old Dame Nature will just have to deal with it, right? But should Dame Nature have to deal with YOUR poop?
The above scenario describes an all too typical scene in the wild places and backcountry: people poop - and then just leave it there, along with their toilet paper, thinking Dame Nature will take care of it. This quick-growing problem needs a solution - and fast! What is needed is a personal poop management system that fits in a backpack. Well, IT'S HERE! The Packit Toilet kit from Ultralight Wilderness Toilet: a toilet, 12 greenbags and a roll of toilet paper (both fully biodegradable), and the Digger to bury your own poop. And the Packit Toilet (with a greenbag inserted) is cleaner than your home toilet. No mess, no hassle. Then you bury your poop with our Cat Hole Digger.
