Thinking about getting a luggable loo, the kids just use a bucket at the moment. Have you got one and would you recommend getting one?

Also, where does one empty the contents? It's only ever number 1's, the kids know that number 2's are banned from the bucket.

Hi,

Both adults & children use a bucket in our tent (this is also only no 1's!).  We empty it in the sluice in the wash blocks and rinse it out with disinfectant,

We have one and I'd recommend it, it's nice to have a 'seat', and it's sturdy. I put a kitchen bin liner in it (clipped in underneath the seat), with some cat litter (I think I got the idea from here). I then tie it up and put it in the regular rubbish. Saves on the trip to empty it, and also you don't get that liquid hitting bucket noise!

When I was using one it was a great place to store all things like cables, lanterns. The odd shaped oblects when travelling to & fro a site.

Now for a single camper I have a great system. I needed a compost bin & it came with a free rectangular scraps holder with lid. I have a far better use for it. Small, lidded, stable & inconspicious.

I appreciate the idea behind the use of cat litter to avoid spills and the tinkle noise - but IMO it seems as shame to consign a humble wee or two to a prison of non-biodegradable plastic bag to go into landfill!

By burning a few more calories of effort walking to empty it, it could be dealt with in the local sewage works with no real extra damage to the environment.

Just a thought...

Kampa Khazi's are great - put a drop of that blue toilet liquid in and add a little water. Either empty into a normal toilet or the special toilet waste bit that some sites have (for caravans) and then rinse with water to clean.

.....and load it with the EHU and anything else I can fit in it that would be suitable.
