[Paddlewise] Waste removal

After all the discussion going on about waste removal, I came across some
ideas in the  May/98 issue of Backpacker Magazine(page 178). Three of the
items mentioned are:
	The Vaude Wilderness Waste System, essential a leak proof bag
that opens at both ends. The top for placement of waste & the bottom for
removal of waste once you're back from your trip. Price is $19-$25,
depending on size.  They list their web site as http://www.vaude.com &
phone # (800)447-1539.
	Intelligent Products, Inc., Nature Calls. Kit includes degradable
"trail mitts" & a plastic bag for packing it back after your trip. The
review does state that the plastic transport sack isn't very sturdy. 
$2.55 for one kit which is supposed to meets the needs of an average
person for 2 nights and 3 days. Phone # given is (800)697-6084.
	Wilderness Packer John. For the more comfort minded :). 
A modified seat made from 1 inch PVC-type pipe made for the sole purpose
of placing over a "cat hole". Unfortunately nothing included for packing
out the waste, a product made for comfort sake I guess. It breaks down
into 3 pieces a & is allegedly easy to assemble. $14.95, weight is one
pound. (888)290-1679 or e-mail at PackerJohn_at_aol.com.
	The Vaude system seems to be better suited to our needs. I hope
these suggestions help give ideas.
