[@thecaptain6994]

Jeez man! You are a courageous guy to address such a “delicate” subject!! Good job.

[@crazylady..]

Thanks👍 for the review and on a subject that scares some.🚽 One of my pet peeves is miles from anywhere finding that lazy people have been there. They won't even dig a cat hole. But leave behind piles everywhere and mountains of toilet paper, kotex, diapers and used condoms. I always wonder if these people ever camp in the same place twice?? It amazes me as to what pigs, many humans can be, like in public restrooms. Good job explaining the bag and it's use. ☘️Safe travels.

[@SUVRVing]

This is a subject that a lot of people are really concerned about. So while it's kind of weird to make or watch a video about pooping, everyone does it, and it's useful information to know about. Thanks for watching!

[@lawsonone6015]

crazy lady the idea of the pigs amazes me too. In these videos, every vlogger references this issue in some form or another. We all agree it’s disgusting but loads are still doing it. I wonder too what they think when they come across the same type of mess. Is it just a shrug? I don’t get it.

[@mikebauer464]

@@SUVRVing yea, I like the Bob Wells Pooping System with a 5 gal. Bucket (Home Depot Bucket) and pipe insulation wrapped around the top and another You Tuber use the bucket handle for the roll of TP and then you only need to buy trash bags maybe double up so don't tear especially higher elevation where the gravitational force is a little greater when the business falls and tie up bag real good and keep it in your car or RV until you find a dumpster. GR8 video always like to see new ideas for when I go Kayaking!!!

[@kellyname5733]

Bottom line..people are selfish.

[@wandaglodowski9114]

Thank you for the info you

[@lrebsten7155]

Brave guy. Thank you so much for helping out your fellow campers. We really appreciate this video. (And all the woodland creatures are clapping in the forest too).

[@Rebeccamyst]

Thank you. I never knew about these. I gotta tell ya, though, I felt like a 6th grader trying not to giggle.

[@SUVRVing]

I give you my permission to giggle throughout the whole thing 🙂

[@manymoonstraveled]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@zeronaught7932]

I would just wear that hiking, I'm sure I'd be left alone hahaha! In all seriousness this is much better than a lot of the alternatives.

[@SUVRVing]

You'd be a fashion trendsetter on the trail, for sure!

[@007nadineL]

Haahahahahahahahahahahaahaha

[@michaela1655]

Nice system, perfect for an astronaut in space. A plastic grocery bag works well, and the handles on the grocery bag are perfect for holding it in position.

[@loryadams1733]

Thank you for this information. I did not know these were available and for kayak camping these would be perfect. Thank you for being brave and educating us

[@SUVRVing]

Exactly, they're perfect for lightweight kayak camping. Thanks for watching, Lory!

[@patriciadickerson6628]

Yup, once you turn 3 you can't talk about it anymore! :-) Thanks for reviewing the biffy bags, very useful information! I didn't realize they existed.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Patricia!

[@susanmathis1682]

Thank you for addressing this in a professional way.

[@kastironwoman6009]

Wonderful tutorial!! I love your conversational style and relaxed voice. You approached the subject like it's something we talk about every day- and if you have little kids- we DO talk about it a lot. I want these for my 72 hour emergency kit!!! Thanks for teaching us.

[@markkitaoka8783]

Thank you. I ride a motorcycle. During COVID-19, finding an open public bathroom was difficult, and even now it's not that easy. Carrying these along with a drape that is used for changing clothing that slips over your head makes 'emergency' number 2 situations manageable. Thank you for your thoughtful and great review. I also carry a pair of disposable gloves to use while I'm doing my business and simply put those into the bag when done. It prevents me from having to wash my hands until I get to a spot that offers hand washing. For those who have ever had 'an emergency go' situation, $3.00 is cheap. And yes, I take my bag with me in my bike luggage until I get to a trash can. And for those who feel like putting poop bags into trash cans, guess what? It's legal and safe. Just like putting doggy bags or diapers in trash cans.

[@jimrandall9113]

Thanks for taking the time to do this, very informative video. I live out west, and know that the Eastern Sierras require this. Hopefully, your viewers will appreciate your review.

[@lyndapayne1680]

Used to be a place on Wild and Scenic Missouri here in Montana we called charmin flats. It's presence prompted officials to require wag bags to be in all watercraft. That 60 some mile stretch is a cleaner place now.

[@kathym6603]

You are right up there with Dr. Eric Berg who can use any word he needs to describe anything about the human body!!

[@evoi9715]

Thanks, this is very helpful. Especially in Winter in the Alps, where you can‘t just dig a sufficient hole. You don’t want to leave any traces and take your staff with you again.

[@julzbergener8142]

I'm 58 with bad hips and just getting back into camping. So glad I happened upon your video because I never knew something like this existed! Hence the reason I mentioned my hips is because squatting is hard for me and this bag would be perfect! I'm going to buy a few to keep in my truck as well for just in case! Thx for the vid!

[@BusinessModelMastery]

If you can't full squat, but you're not THAT bad ... once this Biffy is around your waist, lean back against a tree, drop a little & bend your legs so your thighs are at 45% & lean forwards hands {or better elbows} on knees. As well as helping with cheek spread, it more closely mimics your bodies preferred position for bowel movement

[@ronniehall2660]

I'm actually happy as hell you made this video! Someone plugged this item in a comment thread, so i checked it out on amazon but could not work it out in my head how to put it on and how it was all connected.

[@ledatangen]

Thanks for doing the full demonstration. Good to see it from start to finish. Can be embarrassing, but hey, everyone poops!

[@SUVRVing]

Exactly! I'm not ashamed 😁

[@ovherlander]

Dude, you have me rolling on the floor here! 😂 But seriously, this is one of my greatest frustrations about camping anymore...other peoples crap. I grew up using catholes when camping, but there are now so many more people camping outside of campgrounds that it’s getting to the point of over saturation. I find piles, including toilet paper, with nothing more than a rock dropped on it. Or those very mylar bags, somewhat buried but poking out of the ground. I think catholes are still fine for most hiking areas, but not for car accessible areas. I would love to see a permit system where permits are not granted unless the camper can provide proof of some type of pack-it-out toilet method. As the populations grows, so must we if we expect to continue to have wild places to enjoy.

[@lynnef3297]

I could have used this while hiking with my grandsons last summer. Fortunately we were also hiking with our dogs and had supplies to pick up after them, but this would have been easier on my grandson. Good for you for covering this subject because yeah, we all do it, and hopefully not somewhere for others to find. Thanks!

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, this kind of thing would be perfect for that situation. Thanks for watching, Lynne!

[@deetrvl4life875]

Good to know, I'll make sure I look for rules and restrictions in some areas on this. Kudos to you for informing us.

[@JM-gz1ej]

Thank you for addressing this very real, essential topic that few have talked about.

[@donwyates]

Seems like a pretty good idea. Someday, maybe a ten year old will develop a microbial or enzyme spray that we can just squirt on a pile, that will quickly decompose it, and the paper. Good review Tristan!

[@SUVRVing]

We can only hope! Thanks for watching, Don.

[@Bellawhite1]

I am grateful for you doing a demo for this product. Many backpackers can benefit from using this bag. I am not ashamed to admit I go often while hiking because I drink a lot of coffee and water. All humans have to expel feces and should not feel embarrassed about talking about solutions to help our environment clean.

[@jamiereith7698]

Thank you so much for addressing this issue and sharing your experience with this product.

[@cherylcayemberg9504]

Thank you for posting this! It’s amazing that I had a difficult time finding a video for how to use a Biffy Bag. I just demonstrated how to use it to my scouts last night.

[@indirakuriyan9366]

You're a very kind person. If you ever come to India as an adventure tourist, this super practical potty will be very useful!

[@dddhhh2612]

After learning about your channel many months ago, I've been looking for your video on this topic. Fantastic video! Thanks for this well done video on a very important topic. Using these poop bags is very important in the arid west, where human waste just sits out for years, even preserved for decades. Hiking the Zion Narrows, I came across multiple poop piles, and that really spoils the experience. In the humid east, digging a cathole is OK only because moisture helps speed along decomposition. Anyway, thanks for showing this. I used the Restop2 on my trip to Utah, but the Biffy Bag looks a little easier for this old man . . .

[@SUVRVing]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@paulkeller3944]

Thanks for dealing with this issue. Very helpful!

[@TheSunGoethDown]

Thanks for demonstrating this. I didn’t even know there was such a thing.

[@breathedeep]

Tristan, I know you said people will laugh so I couldn’t help it! 🤣🤣 I’m a nurse and I have no qualm except if it ever gets on my ungloved hands. If one has children I’m sure it’s happened accidentally! 🤣great product and never knew it existed. 💪🏽💪🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@carolthecrazycamper3442]

Great, i will get a few for car , just in case. Could be a puke bag too.

[@SUVRVing]

Excellent point. I hadn't thought of that. Thanks Carol!

[@XsanstanX]

Very helpful information. I have a serious need for this product. In searching the wag bag…I came upon this video. Ty

[@ahofer1623]

I love your lackadaisal attitude about the subject, just as it should be! Those that are embarrassed with the subject, shame on them! Like you said, we all do it. Great job!

[@jaimieksado]

Thanks so much for making this video. I am a camping beginner so this helps because the thought of digging a hole every time i need to do my buildings very intimidating and I like the lightweight:less things to carry in my first time out camping

[@bethfrazier6493]

I’m all for solving real problems. Good video.

[@robfninh]

Warning! Do not use near fan!

[@patm5165]

Very helpful, thanks for the demo, very useful to those of us that need this.

[@k2thah286]

If you are mountaineering and totally exposed in a conga line with other people, you’re going to appreciate the functionality and value of this product instantly. Holding a dump when you’re trying to reach a summit is a nerve racking and mentally taxing experience. Furthermore, trying to find privacy in this situation can be almost impossible. The Biffy is in the upper echelon of hiker waste management. Thanks for the upload. Sincerely.

[@stevemorris3710]

There is an added bonus to this product, in winter, after use it makes a great in pocket hand warmer. Obviously not needed in summer, when I put them in my Buddy's pack.

[@stevemorris3710]

Always carry out a final check before 'Bombs Away'. Ensure your Buddy has not sneaked up behind you, sliced the bottom of your bag open, and tucked it into one of your boots.

[@kenuber4766]

Two thumbs up Tristan! Pretty touchy subject,! It is something that needs addressing! So Thanks for sharing!

[@teslah2997]

just saw this one today.....thanks, Tristan, for sharing this product with us....and for demonstrating.....this is definitely a great product to have on hand should the need arise....will order some today

[@jeffMinnesota952]

good information, in this world can certainly see there might be an occasional need for this, will buy to have just in case... thanks for sharing

[@haydeepearce1996]

Thank you for sharing. It’s a good product to have just incase....and nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about......Id like to share that I carry minimal toilet paper when out a few days backpacking. I hated carrying the used toilet paper and no matter how I double sealed my bags the smell was always there. Now I use a small, handheld bidet for cleaning up and a small square of toilet paper for drying. It’s clean and refreshing and I don’t have to deal with the stinky bag.

[@SUVRVing]

I've heard of people using the little spray bottles or bidets and liking them. I'll have to try it one of these days. Thanks for watching!

[@ReplayFan562]

Thank you for this helpful video. I have never heard of this product.

[@SUVRVing]

Happy to help!

[@heiz1962]

Good thing to add to your Campervan, with COVID-19 a lot of bathrooms in Fast Food places are closed in Oregon.

[@pixalu]

Not at all silly. When you gotta go, you gotta go. So it's no joke. I'm bringing these on the Camino this summer in case I am out in the middle of nowhere and have an "emergency." Otherwise, I have your modified camp stool toilet for SUV RV-ing. But I have never had to use it! But I love that I have it. Just in case.

[@betsykemper1332]

You are the best Tristan. I was at the RTR and poop and solar were the constant source of conversation.

[@SUVRVing]

I believe it! They're important issues. Thanks for watching.

[@nkbbrigger3359]

Thank you for this video. I never new they invented this item

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks for watching.

[@mickd6942]

There’s a very similar product called brief relief disposa Jon , I bought thirty of the bay site for £14 GBP

[@loreylane3918]

As a female Im so glad these and go girl cups exist.

[@erikawoods8975]

I would feel more comfortable while squatting 🤷🏻‍♀️ Great job, great review!

[@ChasinSimplicity]

what a great design and problem solved. I haven't run into this yet but great to have just sitting in your glovebox or in a hiking bag. Looks well made. Thanks for doing the video, I had no idea that this existed.

[@SUVRVing]

Exactly. It's not the kind of thing I'd use every day on a car camping trip, but it's a good emergency item to have. Thanks Galvain!

[@eastonlee5102]

Greatest invention ive seen! Why take it off just wear it all day,great for keg parties! Food challenges,sports games,work or play etc! No indescent exposure,just let it go anywhere,anytime!and it looks cute!

[@jacnglen]

Great informative video, very thorough, thanks. Looks like 1 poop per bag, a lot of product for 1 poop but that's the way it goes. I also think squatting a bit is beneficial for the act.

[@alexanderrogalla1011]

Thank u for your service this was so helpful and also hilarious 😆

[@drphibesrises]

I have used similar products in the past. I keep a small duffel just for trash that I tie to the bottom of my backpack. That way there is no chance of contamination of my goods.

[@SUVRVing]

Good idea! Thanks for watching.

[@cynforrest]

As always, good and practical info. Thanks, Tristan. I’ve been on a few looooooong road trips where Nature can call and usually does in the middle of nowhere. Lol. I’ll definitely get some of these to add to my emergency bag I keep in the car. I don’t like the idea of using it but would be grateful to have it should the need arise - I can’t squat either!!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Cyn!

[@kimkolstad3271]

You are so real... I just love watching all your contenr😂thanks for being so much fun!,,,

[@catdaddy2899]

Nice product and great idea.... Thanks for sharing and great review✌️ 😎.. Safe travels.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Sal!

[@mysticalmisfit1332]

Thank you for sharing. This video was entertaining. Provided a much needed laugh. I agree, these would be great to have

[@josetorres1019]

Important subject, Good Job ! Thanks

[@dlewis895]

WHAT ABOUT WEARING DEPENDS THIS IS GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT

[@Vicky-Rd]

It'll be very useful for physically challenged people like me. Thank you so much for sharing❤ GOD BLESS!!!💖

[@stephensteinhoffer4896]

Thanks for doing this video. This product is a must have for my boat!

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, it would be great for that! Thanks for watching.

[@olgaguer6443]

Thank you!!!!!

[@64MAGA24]

I’m not uncomfortable at all, about this topic. I wish more people took this more seriously. I have been disgusted with peoples potty habits in many different scenarios, nothin nature and in the wild. It amazes me how people think it’s ok to do their business anywhere they see fit. Sometimes there’s emergency but if we prepare we can continue to enjoy all of nature’s beauty. Thanks for sharing.

[@sierraseb3311]

👍Super helpful. More and more laws are requiring campers pack out EVERYTHING!

[@gregoryfoster8179]

That's hilarious. I always just carry a small garden trowel in my pack on long hikes for digging and covering. But hey, whatever floats your boat (or poop).

[@wrylife57]

Great video about an innovative product that, indeed, "solves a real problem." Thanks!

[@silverbreezeRn]

Great idea. I had never heard of this before. Tfs.

[@caroleelagrone9729]

Thank you Tristan! I would not of known how to completely use that bag! People making fun of you are just very immature!!!

[@lawsonone6015]

I think the only think to overcome is the psychological block that may exist to standing while going. But it looks like you could squat too without problems. You just answered the question I was going to ask with the Walmart canister answer, lol.

[@SUVRVing]

Yep, you could definitely squat too. There's no wrong way to poop as long as it works for you 😂

[@EJS1970]

Can’t poop in woods but you can poop on the sidewalks in San Francisco, Seattle, etc. we have been hiking and camping since before you were born. Maybe we can give those bags to the homeless but they’d just leave them unopened everywhere

[@leogeoghegan6200]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial! I feel comfortable with no. 2 as it pertains to these bags, but I keep wondering about how no. 1 works on the "front" end of things--seems like there's little room for a urine stream to successfully do its thing without splashing all over the bag/funnel and thus your body.... any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks again!

[@davidtate166]

High altitude mountains use yes wag bags yes 👍

[@kaimidung5141]

Brilliant. Thanks for this needed information.

[@chaplin554]

Thanks for the info!!!

[@kartof1]

That is useful information. Good to know.

[@tyross6395]

Good idea. A trash bag and 5 gallon bucket works good, but that is a lot more portable!

[@SUVRVing]

Exactly. The trahs bag and bucket have their place too, but they don't exactly fit in your pocket. Thanks for watching, Ty.

[@hycinth5371]

Thank you. Your are very brave and very intelligent. Love you work!

[@kimmillynn2161]

In the areas that you have to use a chemical toilet is that just for #2 or #1 as well?

[@karoleg3366]

Hahaha Loved the demo great job I hope you are recovering nicely from your hip surgery

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks Karole!

[@caroleelagrone9729]

Where are the jars you mentioned in Walmart? In camping?

[@angelak.french9340]

do you have any difficulty getting the used biffy bag into that plastic container you bring with the screw top? can you get two used bags into it?

[@davidtate166]

Never used them but I would 👍

[@lilyrose5806]

Thank you appreciate for sharing valuable info!

[@authenticarkansas]

Thanks for posting this, no matter how awkward. I was just noticing BLM land requires much of the time in Southern Utah to have some sort of portable solution and I was trying to avoid carrying a 5 gallon bucket to meet that requirement.

[@AnnieGill7]

Wow you caught me on the go! Thank goodness :-) thank you for your review on a very “interesting“ product. It can be very useful :-)

[@thewordrules]

OMG: Those of us with spastic colons thank you for this review!!!

[@susan4yahshua]

What will they come up with next.

[@threedogsandacamper503]

When nature calls....and it’s not a bird call...I’m going to order this product.

[@SUVRVing]

If you wait until you need to go before ordering it, I think you're going to have an unpleasant waiting experience 😁

[@threedogsandacamper503]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[@CaseyWinningham]

You are a brave man my friend! ;) I would hate to have someone walk up on me as I was using it. Kidding aside it looks like it would work. Keep those reviews coming!

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks!

[@ediedaley3701]

Good to know about. Thanks!

[@7xela]

Can somebody explain (perhaps again) why this is better than just going to the woods with a portable shovel? All in all, one would have to eventually dispose of this mylar bag, which will never biodegrade.

[@SUVRVing]

As stated in the video, some places require you to pack out your waste.

[@robaldridge6505]

I'm too cheap, use plastic grocery sacks doubled up, be sure to check that they have no holes (don't ask lol) and roll it up and pop it into a ziplock till you can dispose of it all...

[@NotyourfancyVANLIFE]

Good review.

[@SUVRVing]

Thanks!

[@petrij966]

Good information! Simple solution in an emergency 😊

[@SUVRVing]

Exactly! Thanks Petri.

[@lorihamlin3604]

That would be perfect for minivan travel where you might not want to poop in porta potty.

[@websterbarstone]

Excellent presentation. Somebody has talk about it, because all boondockers are going to have to do it, and surely no one wants to despoil the wilderness.... or get a citation from a ranger.

[@SUVRVing]

Exactly. Thanks for watching, Rick!
