We've done a bit of paddling in Canyonlands and Lake Powell where all boaters are required to carry their own waste disposal units. The units must be approved by NPS and you must be able to clean them at an RV dump station. We have used the "Boom-box" (see ads in recent SeaKayaker magazine) which fits the criteria. It worked well for the week or so that the two of us were paddling. Actually, we both decided it was much preferable to digging a hole. Disposal wasn't nearly as bad as anticipated. We agreed that one person would carry the box on the trip and the other would empty it at the end. I carried it (bungies on aft deck) and Tony emptied at the dump station. An even easier solution is to go through an outfitter. Since potties are required, outfitters also rent them, and clean them. Only problem is that the rental units may not be as easy to carry on a kayak. Hoping everything comes out okay for you, deb >here's an issue not addressed anytime recently... human waste disposal. >i am interested in feedback on which potties work/don't work, etc... >how do you all dispose of this "crap" ;-) > >mark > *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue May 04 1999 - 11:15:43 PDT
