So he said he would figure something out. The S***Box bags provided with it are biodegradable. I place these in a dedicated Ortlieb dry bag for disposal on return home. So same result different approach.
It took two years to get the product to market but by 2010 BoginaBag was selling well and receiving some fantastic press. Keen to move the product forward Kate took the decision in 2011 to enter the “Dragons Den.”By all accounts, festival toilets have come a long way. The loos at Camp Bestival weren’t all bad and we definitely favoured the compostable toilets– there’s no wet flush, you simply toss sawdust inside. The smell is much less potent in these loos, but a word of warning: don’t look down! Folding out as a seat and having the function to be a toilet that is hygienic and uses no chemicals, making it totally unique! A friend of mine was leading a group trip on Lough Erne and she was asked by one of the punters where the conveniences were. You have a point about soft ground, especially soft wet ground (sand, mud etc) could be an issue. Tarp on the ground or plastic bag should solve it or even splash out (excuse the pun) for their waterproof cover.

Innovate are long established and leading experts in helping individuals to discover whether their new product ideas and inventions have value and could lead to commercial success. After receiving the invitation to visit Camp Bestival and camp for 4 nights with the kids, one of the first things I did was to research toilet options. There’s a range of portable devices on the market that claim to make your festival experience a little less crappy. I'm not sure whether this is in the spirit of this thread as it is at the extreme end of the portable spectrum, but the Bog in a Bag saved my life at the Belgian Grand Prix camping last year. It's a strong, lightweight, folding three-legged stool with a strong fabric seat with a large velcro flap covering an ample bum-sized hole!requested identification. This was duly given followed by a short conversation before they left. All this conducted from my S***box.
For Adults, the Bog in a Bag seems like the sturdiest, most comprehensive offer on the market but here’s some others to consider: As a minor critique, I would say maybe the makers could create adjustable legs in case you need to squat inside a very low tent! By night 2 I decided that while I wasn’t ready to moon my neighbours, at least the babes could try out the Bog in a Bag. BoginaBag is 65cm in length with a diameter of 13cm. When set up as a toilet the dimensions are 35cm...Kate Castle lives in Winchester with her partner and two children. She balances her time between managing the business and looking after her children. If we’d had less to carry, we’d have definitely brought along our My Carry Potty, the portable ‘suitcase’ potty with carry handle – great for toddlers on the move. Other items you might want to arm yourself with: extra loo paper, anti-bacterial toilet seat wipes, air freshener (you could make up an essential oil spray if you don’t like the ones on the market), disposable seat covers.

People are taken out on trips and no one bothers to explain how to properly and safely deal with a basic human need in what is to them an alien environment.
It’s that moment when you’re holding your 3-year-old on the dirtiest, smelliest loo of your life for the 15 to 20 minutes he takes deciding whether to do a number 2. Beam me up… somebody, anybody! To be fair I did cut the story down to make it easily read. The lady leading the trip would be the sort to explain in fine detail how to dig a "Cat Hole", the correct way to use it, and I believe the guy did bury the contents of the bag before the return journey. Otherwise I think this is a great product that certainly beats hovering over one of those pits of Hades any day.Take your own anti-bacterial gel as the dispensers provided frequently run out. Also carry a little soap and use the Water points to wash hands when you can as nothing beats good old soap and water.
Great Deal
