:lol: Mike we have way too many people to just drop them. Well actually some folks might... We go some places where the privacy is there but you don't really want to pollute the fishing hole 8)

I also use the Luggable Loo too, no dump stations or clean time at home. Just bag it and drag it!

I have 2 porta potties but they set so low I might as well be setting on Mike's badger hole.

(OUCH a horrible thought just flashed by with a upset badger as the star)

I took a standard toilet seat and fastned it to a 7 gallon bucket lid with the center cut out. A second transport lid is included. The lid lip holds the trash bag liner in place. I cut off all the locks but 2 to make changing the lids a bit easier. A little scented kitty litter and "You are good to go"

F.Y.I.

A 7 gallon bucket happens to be the exact same height as a standard tall handicap style toilet.

I'm still using the Sears port-a-potty For the past 30+ years
other than sitting low it works very well tent, pop-up, small TT, another pop-up, a van, another van, it is now in the front garage awaiting my cargo trailer conversion that is when and if I do one.
there's still hope

I'm a fan of the porta potties too. They flush and the tanks detach to dump them. I've not had a problem with them smelling bad as I use the liquid sold to put in the flush tank to keep smells down. I plan to buy one for the PT. I just haven't decided on which one. Probably the one Walmart sells as it has the under 3 gallon holding tank and is low profile. I don't want a tall one as my cabinet height is limited with the icebox and microwave I plan to have in it too. BTW, the porta potty section gets sealed off from the rest of the cabinet and will have wall vents to keep the space aired out.

Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But, that gets boring...so I go back to being me.

:thumbsup: We still have the one we bought over 20 years ago but someone twisted the handle you pull out to flush so I got a new one.

And I just want to know if Wyoming has chiggers or ticks. Cause MO has and, well there are some things you don't want. :roll:

Slow Cowboy.

No way am I going to drop trou and use a badger hole. I have had enough run ins with those critters. They make a rattle snake down right friendly.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

But i do like a sage fragrance for a potty

I don't know about wyoming I have never been there. But up here in washington if I try to go #2 while standing up it would shurely land in my pants and make the rest of my day most unpleasant. I have found that bending at the knees and balancing your self gives me a better chance at a happier ending. :thumbsup: I'm just say'n

Maybe we now know the real reason cowboys are bow legged.

I have found that sitting on a large log or downed tree, with the buttocks portion cantilevered over the back side of the log works fairly well. :roll:

...Been there, done that...The bucket broke and down I went at the very end of it all! :lol: That's why I bought the whole Luggable Loo and not just the seat and lid!

That could be a bit of a problem. I could imagine myself trying to not appear obvious while scratching. :lol: While we're on the subject of itching, aspirin will help deaden more than pain. It also helps deaden itching. That can be good to know if you get in a little poison ivy or poison oak, etc.

Speaking of poison oak…. When you’re camping or out in the woods, always wash your hands first, before going potty, just in case someone has left poison oak oil on something that you’ve touched. :roll: (Don’t ask….)
