subject: [Paddlewise] [PaddleWise] Boombox (toilet kind) for kayak?
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2002 21:00:25 -0700
Had a thread a while back discussing the fact that plastic liners are no 
longer allowed for many places.

Most commercial applications and rentals that I see work for a canoe/raft 
but would be difficult to shoehorn
into a kayak.

Anyone have an outlet that stocks one that would work with a kayak?  Or a 
how-to-make-your-own?

I'm planning on a 7 day paddle on Lake Powell and would rather arrive with 
one instead of trying
to scrounge/rent/return one.  Would be willing to go with either a fit 
inside or strap outside version.

Believe it or not, Gene, what you want is a Boombox from www.eco-safe.net.  
I have used mine on kayak trips and it works quite nicely.  Sea Kayaker did 
a review of it a couple years ago.

Thanks for the link.  That's a lot like what I'm looking for.  Wished they 
had a 10 day use one instead of
the smallest being 20.  Not huge at 13.5 x 9.0 x 8.0 but will be an issue 
to pack.  10.0 x 7.0 x 7.0 would
be a lot easier.

Do the screw on collars have fittings for the dump stations?  Or does
it more closely mimic a backpacking bear proof container?

Are the coffee filters compatible with the dump stations?  I'm not a
RV'er so don't know anything about fittings/dump stations.

Thanks.

I own one of the 20 Use Boom Boxes made by GTS (http://www.eco-safe.net/),
purchased from a paddle shop in Portland, OR (Alder Creek). I am sure other
paddle shops sell these, also.

Mine will fit inside the rear hatch of my Eddyline Wind Dancer, and most other
FG singles I have seen.  Stowed dimensions are about 13.5" x 9.0" x 8.0"
Don't know if it has NPS approval, but I bet it does.  No plastic liner, and
can be flushed directly into a disposal system.
