I am a State Patrol officer. I frequently spend long periods on the highway, far from restrooms. I have a cassette toilet (similar to the kind depicted in the first part of the video) in my vehicle. I once pulled over a young woman for speeding. When I asked why she was going so fast, she replied frankly that she had diarrhea and was trying to get to a restroom in time. The nearest facilities were a long way in either direction, so I let her use my cassette toilet. I doubt she'd have made it otherwise.

[@lessoflifefamily]

I think we've all been there at some point...I feel her pain!

[@Sarahlikestohike]

​@@lessoflifefamily That's true, I know I have been. But as I told her... if you mess your pants it's not pleasant, but it affects only you, and eventually you clean yourself up and continue with your day. But if you hit someone because you were speeding, that can affect more people than just you, in a much more permanent way. That's why it's best to always go the speed limit, even if you really gotta go. Or just get a bucket toilet, like you and I have done.

I understand that placing the bucket into a sturdy Milk Crate makes it very difficult to tip, and provides a more pleasurable experience.

[@DaphneLowe]

I've watched several dozens of KZbin videos on DIY bucket toilets, and yours is the best designed I've ever seen. Its absolutely brilliant!

[@lessoflifefamily]

Thanks so much! We have been using it since we made it and LOVE IT!

[@storesellify]

I also agree with d lowe but i don't know how can we dumb that , if we dig hole and drop the waste bag that will never melt in years , we can't use paper bag what else option we have . well any how ur design is simple and awesome practical. thx a lot .

[@ruby7741]

@@storesellify wood chips you put about 2 inchs in the the bottom of the bucket before going and then after you go poo/pee you do the same and cover the waste you make then when you do make that hole you can just dump it in with no problem and No bag. :)

[@storesellify]

@@ruby7741 oh Thanks a lot , really appreciate for your time and response.

GREAT IDEA USING THE BUCKET LID! IF YOU WANNA RAISE THE HEIGHT OF THE BUCKET FOR BETTER COMFORT, (I have bad knees) SIMPLY PLACING THE MAIN BUCKET INTO ANOTHER BUCKET. SHOULD RAISE IT A FEW INCHES. I'VE ALSO SEEN PEOPLE USING PINE PELLETS WITH GOOD, LESS SMELLING RESULTS. GREAT VIDEO...THANKS FOR SHARING!

[@lessoflifefamily]

Great tip to raise it up and we use pine wood shaving also sometimes! Thanks for sharing!

I use trash compactor bags I get at Costco as liners. They are strong and leakproof and so much cheaper than those bags you buy for the potty

[@lessoflifefamily]

Great tip 👍

Thank you 😊

[@GeneHathaway]

Why'd you leave the seat cover off?

[@lessoflifefamily]

Personal preference....it was too heavy and was flipping the bucket over when we opened the lid. An option could be to put a few bricks or something in the bottom.

[@coreyhattenstein]

Can you tell me is that a round or elongated toilet lid. Thanks

[@lessoflifefamily]

It is round

[@brucetench6557]

I did essentially the same thing, my question is what do you put in the bag to dry out the waist and mask the odor. I'm thinking clumpable cat litter

[@coreyhattenstein]

@@brucetench6557 I use pet bedding material and some rv toilet crystals I found on amazon. In my experience the odor is worse in a confined area instead of outside but no matter what youtubers say, in the end it is 💩 we are talking about. 😁

[@gypsycowboy22]

@@brucetench6557 Cat litter , wood chips that you’d get for like a pet hamster , cut up lemons and limes can help the smell also .. or if your in a pinch just use dirt to cover as you go ..

[@howardlangford8087]

You do know that you can buy a lid for the 5 gallon bucket so you don't have to do all of that.

[@gypsycowboy22]

Yeah , but hers is made in 🇺🇸 not CHINA !!

[@AJ-sb8qk]

Great video. How do you dispose of your human voice? Just curious to know what other people are doing?

[@lessoflifefamily]

Human voice?

[@AJ-sb8qk]

@lessoflifefamily lol, human waste, that's what happens when you speak into the mic without proof reading, I'm talking about disposing your 💩

[@Frantic618]

Skip the drivel in the beginning, and start at 2:40 minutes.
