When going for an outdoor holiday, do take a camping toilet along. It may not give you the comfort of your daily washroom but can still make your holiday hassle-free. Here are some tips for buying a good camping toilet.
Always go for a unit that can be easily folded up and carried separately in a backpack with your other camping gear. It should be compact enough to not be a burden, not require use of water which is not freely available at campsites and of course be odor free.
The best kind of camping toilets are the ones that require the use of disposable bags. Some units also come with pop-up smaller privacy tents that you can set up nearby. Always buy bags from a good manufacturer because while camping out, it is your duty to contribute to maintaining the environment at the campsite.
Since waste disposal bags are large enough to be used more than once, you can decide whether to dispose them off after a single use or not. But buy bags that are biodegradable and environment-friendly. A special powder is also to be purchased along with the bags to keep the waste odor free. The toilet paper can be thrown away in the bags too.
In case you do not wish to carry a camping toilet you can request a spot in the camping ground nearer to the washroom. However, this is not always possible so before you buy a camping toilet unit, particularly on the Internet, do check the manufacturer’s reputation. Many sites offer great combo deals too. A camping toilet is of great use during an emergency need in the night when trudging off alone to the main campground toilet is not very safe.
If you don’t buy a full camping toilet unit, you can easy assemble one at home with a chair or just decide to use the human disposable bags. For these, to check the odor, you will need to use sawdust and cat litter.
