Re: [Paddlewise] Packing waste out

I am not going to be emptying anything...I'm far too squeamish.

I bought The Pett porta-potti.  It's about $90, but folds flat to the size of 
a large briefcase.  I also got their privacy shelter...self-standing and 
quick, integrated set-up system.  It won't fit in a kayak, Rick, but good for 
the campground.  You could use the bag and crystals in a smaller container.

See http://www.thepett.com/products.html  for a photo of the full setup.

The system uses some nice-smelling crystals that turn liquid into gel within 
seconds and it is environmentally friendly.  Problem is the bags cost $2 a 
pop (and the bags have started to crumble so i will send some of them back.)  

I've been able to get two or three pees out of one bag, though and once 
stretched it to four, but that was really pushing it.  I needed a source for 
more crystals and I believe it was Linda/Camper Jones who posted it on an 
earlier thread:   I bought  1 lb jar of SBG-1 for about $20.  I tried using 
one teaspon in a scented plastic bag, but that was not quite enough.  
Slightly more than half a coffee scoop seems to be OK and I can always add a 
few more crystals.

Have not been desperate enough to use it for solid waste, but it's supposed 
to be OK.
