It’s that moment when you’re holding your 3-year-old on the dirtiest, smelliest loo of your life for the 15 to 20 minutes he takes deciding whether to do a number 2. Beam me up… somebody, anybody! I have used one of these for several years on canoe trips and it is still going strong despite being cardboard. The glorious Happy Going. A waterproof toilet roll cover with disco lights! We take it along because it makes us smile as well as being useful.

Always forgive,Never forget;Learn from mistakes,But Never regret;People change,Things go wrong;Just remember life goes on Ask any non-camper why they don’t fancy a tent or campervan and the answer will either be something to do with the weather or it’ll be worries about needing the loo. At home, we use recycled and plastic-free loo roll, but the important thing for camping toilets is dissolvability! The Peebol is a smallish bag (one litre) with a cardboard rim designed so that women can hold it against their bodies to create a standing toilet. Men, of course, have an advantage here. Take your own anti-bacterial gel as the dispensers provided frequently run out. Also carry a little soap and use the Water points to wash hands when you can as nothing beats good old soap and water.Sorry, but it's just got to be said: My No.1 exit is further from my No.2 exit than the tripod allows. There's a little hole in the middle that I might learn to aim No.2 well enough into, but does one just pee over the front of it? We actually use a potette (this is the newer version http://www.mothercare.com/Potette-PLUS-Travel-Potty-Trainer/dp/B001CFQWHW) We really rate Dometic fridges, so one to trust! We found ours to be nice and compact but still have a good capacity. And then we wonder why we find piles of sh1te in the wilderness? People are taken out on trips and no one bothers to explain how to properly and safely deal with a basic human need in what is to them an alien environment.

Many camping toilet bags (and the Travel John bags) have a sort of crystal-filled ‘nappy’ inside to soak up liquid. We think this is important because a plastic bag filled with sloshiness sounds like a disaster waiting to happen and isn’t pleasant for waste collectors.After receiving the invitation to visit Camp Bestival and camp for 4 nights with the kids, one of the first things I did was to research toilet options. There’s a range of portable devices on the market that claim to make your festival experience a little less crappy. BoginaBag is a lightweight seat which can be easily converted to a portable toilet for use outdoors. The BoginaBag Portable Toilet is simple to use. It folds out as a stool and you just have to remove the cover and insert one of the specially designed, leak-proof, degradable bags for use. Once finished, the bag’s ‘magic crystals’ absorb any liquid or solid waste, all you have to do is remove the bag, tie it and dispose. Ha ha! Brilliant! So, does this make it a Bog Post, rather than a Blog Post. Sorry. I just couldn’t resist… ;) There are bin liners you could use, but most of these aren’t biodegradable, so you’ll be adding to the world’s mountains of plastic waste. If you must use bags, make sure they’re properly BIOdegradable (like Branq Camping Bio bags).

Otherwise I think this is a great product that certainly beats hovering over one of those pits of Hades any day. Make your own pop-up private loo space with one of these toilet tents – or nip along to our article on tarps and see how easy it is to make a more versatile shelter. Keep an eye on your gauge if you have one as this will tell you when you need to empty it, but at least once a week or it may cause a smell! Can you put bleach in my portable camping toilet?

Not to be trusted! Brilliant idea for the little people and my I say big people with just was a wee to do more a man than a woman though.I suppose you could use any poly bags with no holes in them that actually fit around the potette Manufacturers really need to start being honest about the length of time it takes for the plastic to break down.
