Home made dunnies

Yep, been doing that for yonks, works very well.

Ever noticed how a female can hang on, sometimes for days, until you get to "civilised toilets".
Amazing stuff, wish I had that sort of control.

Cheers....Lionel.

I second that Motion, the Jimmy!s ThunderBox is the way to go,
we use it on all the Tent camping trips, when we leave the Caravan
behind.

Jimmy's Thunder box is great.
If you have the room then a porta potty is also an option.
However when tenting it the thunder box is the way to go folds flat and is easy to use.

And another vote for Jimmy's thunderbox. Originally got it to keep the wife happy but it comes away even when she doesn't now.

Essential camping equipment. No flies and accidents. You can even read on the john.

Signman, you are so heartless. I try to find a spot for her where the the digging is easy.LOL

Des, You wouldnt be one that keeps saying "theres one just over the next hill" would you???.. LMAO

Somewhere with big rocks so she can rest the top 1/3rd of her backside on.

The other way I keep her happy when away is same as at home -

I'm with you signman, and they should only need a small shovel

Geez I hope not. Otherwise I'm in it deep...

Louie, another hole maybe?? LOL.

TDB

Truckster thats a REAL 'port-a-loo'.
How fast can it go??

Take the keys out first. Would be a wild ride if someone didnt realise you were on the throne....hehehe....

I did-nt see a Toilet Paper Holder or a Magazine Rack.

Truckster, Add a longer arm vertically, and you could have a game of net ball as well!!.....lol.

Cheers Axle.

Bog roll holder is the draw that slides out with the food in it, so you can make a sandwich before wiping, and the table is on the big door on the GU, so it aint an issue :)~

Its not exactly an event that needs to be 5 star now is it!?

If you dont use the bag, dont wear thongs!!!!

Luv it!! What happens if you put it in reverse?

You get your own back LOL

The modified folding camp stool works very well - so well that it is possible to buy them with a plastic moulded seat. The pop up tent is not always necessary either - often there is enough vegetation to give privacy, or you can walk over the next dune. Great way for morning meditation!

Now for the really tricky bit. We are told to burn toilet paper as animals can dig up your deposit and the paper then blows around making a disgusting mess. We have all seen this. BUT toilet paper on its own is very hard to burn.

One way is to keep tut paper separate, say by depositing it- not in the hole - but into a bucket or onto a sheet of newspaper. It can then be brought back to camp and burnt properly in the campfire at a discreet moment. Or carried, carefully wrapped until it can be disposed of responsibly.

An altenative method is as follows:
1. Dig deep hole and make #2 deposit.
2. Set paper to one side, not in the hole.
3. Put a shovel of dirt/sand back in the hole to cover offerings
4. Then put in some newspaper, dried grass or leaves.
5. Place used toilet paper on top and cover with some more dried fuel.
6. Light and supervise to check that the small fire does not escape and that all the paper is burned.
7. When fire is out, fill hole with soil or sand.

NOT suitable in very dry or windy conditions if there is a fire ban in place.

Sure, it takes a few minutes longer, but at least you know that you are not leaving a delayed mess behind you.

Happy meditations,

Val.

Bought one for the wife's B'day a couple of years back. It amused me she wasn't too impressed with it being for her B'day. But she's used it with satisfaction.

If it helps, I just measured up the plywood pieces:

TOP 500wide x 520 deep
Rear flap (1) : 330H x 445W (this flap has the two 40mm holes)
Front flap (2): 320H x 440W
LHS (3): 310H x 520W
RHS (4): 300H x 520W

the 1,2,3,4 is the order in which they fold.

>remember when you bury your dunny paper , there is a very good
>chance animals will dig it up ....

Not if you bury it deep enough or if that is not possible burn your toilet paper.

Burn the paper! Bury the S--t. We are out bush for weeks, how would you like to carry that around??????????????

Pardon me but which planet are you posting from?

Hi Mike
Have i lost the plot? If so why?
We tend to travel in quite remote area's for extended periods of time.
So why am i from another planet?
Cheers Lyndon

Hi Lyndon

Sorry, some confusion I thought you were saying burning and burying was a bad thing.

Mike Harding

must have missed phil's post, having a read of his it sounds like a similar setup.

Doug you would be polluting the planet :)))

Back in the good ole days when most houses had outside dunnies, the "Chamber pot" was the accepted repository for night time wees. You still see then in antique shops, fanciful creations in ceramic or their downmarket enamel cousins.

One of my morning chores as a kid growing up in the fifties was to empty "the pots" - not a favourite chore, just something that had to be done. And the flower garden benefited too.

So the plastic bucket is just a modern version of a time honoured system and nothing to be coy about!

Cheers,

Val

Hi Val

You are bringing back old memories,I can still remember those days,
when we were kids, and even teenagers, that was a chore you had
to do every morning, before you had breakfast, and then off to
school, I can still picture the drum of saw dust in the corner of the
out house, my sister would make me go with her to the toot in
the night, she would make me stand out side, and I would bang on the walls and throw stuff on the roof, that used to get me in the
s--t when we went back in the house.

YES THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Daza.

Cork ??? Bloody uncomfortable to sit on :-)

Give them a cup of harden the hell up....

I'm glad my wife isn't that delicate a princess that she "needs" a proper toilet when camping. The good old shovel method is fine whenever necessary. When in need......

OH MY GODDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers
Jo

She didn't put the seat up..naughty naughty.
