Great video! short and to the point, but includes all the necessary information! Nice job, thank you!!

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Thank you for the feedback! 😃

[@tony72I]

Straight to the point and honest. Thanks

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Thank you for the feedback. 😀

[@nigeltindall1446]

some great food for thought. My partner and I are approaching our sixties, and as we look ahead to going on a road trip around Australia in our rooftop tent, we face the challenge of coming up with a suitable/workable ablution set up that can effectively pass as "self contained".

[@barbshubert9667]

I like the two systems. I have the porta-potti, but I never thought to add the bucket. Thanks !! Very informative.

[@zafuriaminicamper]

I have the litter bin and is really confortable and practical :) I love your tshirt ! Thanks for your vídeo !!

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

A litter bin is a great idea. :) Thank you for the compliments on the shirt. ❤️

[@russmilosavich2465]

Agree. Dumping is disgusting and having to add water etc. Water in the winter could be a problem. The bag method and pallets for smell is good.

[@annadavis7671]

Thank you!

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

😀

[@susanstebila8707]

Brilliant mistro

[@harveypost1841]

I'm mayb 73 almost never no...I decided that long walk to pee a bunch of times at night is over.i keep my 2.5 qt Mt.Olive pickle jar next to bed on dresser now..zip zip I'm done..

[@matttopper5017]

This seems like a good system.

[@rustyholt6619]

i thought for shure that you were going to trash on the bucket potti ... thank you for being fair and honest ... i hate emptying chemical toilets im opting for a bucket in a box with compostable bags and poo powder from amazn ...thanks again

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Thank you for the feedback. 😀

[@MichaelWilliams-ro9bm]

I think of you when you go at 3am😊

[@fabulousrobert6607]

If you use the kitty liter with the Home Depot bucket thing, which makes sense, but what do you do with the poop there after? And now it’s covered with kitty litter? I’m sure it helps eliminate the smell as well. Which is a major plus, especially during the time before dumping it at a waste disposal center.

[@davidmilledge221]

Put it in the green waste bins same as ya dog poo

[@jacobortwine7063]

Bucket pooper all the way

[@PEPILLONINO]

When you go camping just eat fruits so if you poop is not smelling. If you eat burritos then you are dead.

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

[@chuckhines459]

Doesn't matter what you eat all poop smells because of the bacteria.

[@troytaylor1913]

The bucket seat a bucket is easiest for me. It fits better.

[@Chevy-hw6lw]

Unreal people buy that bigger one. 5 gallon poo bucket for the win, all day every day: .

[@daisiesndirt]

big coffee cans with lids work great for overnighters, put in small garbage bag and toss in next convenient garbage, easy peasy

[@kqu109]

How do you dispose of the bag?

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Garbage can. Same as you would with a diaper.

[@trevorwesterdahl6245]

You don't poo in the toilet? What's the pont then? Maybe the dumping setup is just bad.

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

We use it mostly for #1 but you could do both. After dumping it a few times you may change your mind. 😷

[@Jebus4mvp]

Just add the blue chemical doesn't even smell. Man up.

[@susanstebila8707]

QUESTION 💥🌈🌈What exactly the correct location to dump your dump ? Nice work well done🙋‍♀️💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻👏👏👏😎

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Most garbage locations work. If you can put baby diapers in you should be ok.

[@josephkool8411]

Side of the road

[@jacobortwine7063]

They have biodegradable bags that you can bury too, if you were out in the woods.

[@ravenlorans]

@@ExploreTrekAdventure Diapers AND Colostomy Bags... I Still have to Triple Bag mine and toss it into the Gas Stations Down the road because the G-men HATE it when they Poop... Pop!

[@ravenlorans]

I Use a Camping Toilet in my Camper. Came with it's own 1/2 Gallon Pot but Fits a Nice 3Gallon Bucket in it. Only used for Solids! And Don't Stink. ONLY Problems I have with this and the Bucket Type is, Sometimes the Bags Leaks and All the F'n Flies and Gnats and the Maggots they leave behind. Also, Even Tho %100 LEGAL to Throw those Bags into the Garbage, My Garbage Men Refuse to take My Garbage if I throw that Bag into it.. So I have to take the Bag to the Gas Stations down the Road where then the G-men Don't Realize it's in there. LEGAL Because Colostomy Bags and Diapers are Allowed. And that is what Those Bags are Designed for... Piss.. I Piss Outside And Cut the Top off a Gallon Milk Jug at a Slight Angle leaving the Handle of coarse.. And when Almost Full, Pour it out Outside in random spots in the yard..

[@robertpetrone758]

After using a poop bucket, where to properly dispose of bags with poop waste? If the power goes out for a long period of time and all we have is tents with poop buckets or even the port of potty. Is there a place to take your Poop waste in a bag in your home. You just don't put it in your trash, can do you? With everything that's going on in the world right now and I put up a couple. Privacy tents, 1/4 shower in the backyard by the end of the patio and the other one would have poop buckets or the porta party that you showed. We are in a house and a neighborhood where can you dispose properly the bag? Anything you have to offer while I continue to look at others Is places for this information your time is Is really appreciated. I don't Think that you put the waste in your trash? Can for garbage pick up or a dumpster Is somewhere in the city doesn't sound correct. Thank you for any information.

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

The easiest thing to do would be to call your local trash pickup for info. This article was helpful as well. cafemom.com/parenting/124241-a_law_against_putting_babys

[@fabulousrobert6607]

@@ExploreTrekAdventure How about trying an RV mobile park? Surely they have RV’ers who eventually need to dispose of poop waste from their RV waste box. The RV mobile park must have a vacuum that sucks all that stuff out plus, do water or chemical clean out. I was just thinking 🤔 💭💡

[@ravenlorans]

Walfart.. Walmart and Stores on Amazon Sell Bags Meant to Be Used and Thrown away in Household Garbage.. Even Tho %100 LEGAL to Throw those Bags into the Garbage, My Garbage Men Refuse to take My Garbage if I throw that Bag into it.. So I have to take the Bag to the Gas Stations down the Road where then the G-men Don't Realize it's in there. LEGAL Because Colostomy Bags and Diapers are Allowed. And that is what Those Bags are Designed for... OR... Just Use Walfart.. Walmart Bags or Any Like them, Making sure they don't have Holes in them and Walfarts... Walmarts are a Hit/Miss about that, and then Double/Triple Bag before you throw them away. DO NOT PISS In Them! I use Bags and they Don't Smell/Stink because I Don't Piss in them. It's the Piss that Makes them Stink the Most. Piss outside or into a Modded Milk Jug and poor out in the yard in random spots..

[@robertdaymouse3784]

I can P in a bottle. Collecting only my P in a cumbersome $120 Porta Potti does not make much sense to me.

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Sounds like you are all set. Not every setup works for everyone.

[@kathyfann]

Who Carrie’s that Campo seat. Please

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Amazon. There is a link in the video description.

[@kathyfann]

Thank You I just need it tomorrow

[@barbshubert9667]

I've got one, and I got the carrying bag. I've been happy with it.

[@rideshiftdude9198]

The problem with being a guy both do not fit into the camp toilet like the bucket.

[@bksalkrook9348]

thx what was the name of the bucket cover ? thx for that great idea tho

[@josephkool8411]

Kitchen bag with cat litter in it over a $3 Walmart 5 gallon bucket and forget about it. Wash your ass in the river or lake if you don't have tp. That's what I do. Whatever do not wipe with a leaf it's the worst thing you can do. God knows what's on that leaf. My cousin Larry wiped with leaf once and died because he was allergic to it and his anus swoll shut and he couldn't poop. They tried to do surgery, but it was too late

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Cousin Larry 😭

[@doraexplora9046]

Back in the day we used to take a shovel, dig a hole beneath a convenient tree fork, and drop everything into that hole and cover accordingly. We used to use paper bark to wipe our bits. We were in the surf everyday for hours, so we were squeaky clean all the time. Maybe nowadays my wife might complain if I presented her with that option and only that option.

[@janisBFF]

Damn, RIP Larry

[@colethewolfboy]

Y’all think he’s bullshitting but random stuff in nature can kill you like that. Leaving a splinter of cedar in can kill you from sepsis in a few days. A tick attached to you for 48 hours could cripple or kill you from Lyme disease. Wu tang clan didn’t invent sewing a persons butthole shut and feeding them, nature did.

[@hmmm2564]

Disgusting

[@backlogbrood2451]

why buy that thing if you're not going to poop in it?! also, where DO you poop?

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

You can definitely poop in it if you want but the dumping/cleaning process is pretty terrible. We usually take both.

[@stonedog23]

Both of these options is just straight gross. I guess I’m not a camper or van lifer and never will be, lol.

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Don’t give up on camping. Maybe you just need an RV with a regular bathroom. Lots of options out there. 😀

[@richardkaye2228]

Man you must have a boring life

[@sylviescopazzo2445]

I can tell you that pee and poo in the same bucket is VERY smelly even with cat litter! And if you can't poop in the water filled toilet then where are you suppose to poop?

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

You can definitely use the porta potti for all tasks but dumping the tank is not a fun process.

[@johng496]

Separate (dry) poop bucket, lined with a bag.

[@HabibAhmad-ok9tu]

Stay here and there two toilte tent stoles

[@ellenherman9543]

Thats just disgusting

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Which part?

[@Imyourfather225]

I just poo on the ground.

[@ExploreTrekAdventure]

Hmmm 🤔
