Absolutely outstanding thread on one item of trailing equipment...a place to be by yourself for a few minutes (OK some of you literally hours) chatting with nature. The enclosure for privacy if one needed any in a natural setting and a seat to ponder life's woes. Excellent...just shows how we could organize the rest of the camping and other misc. gear we chat about so well and help each other get to a new level of camping bliss.
Hence my reason (in Admin Section) requesting a "Trail Gadgets" section....oh not to cover the same old stuff but neat kool little devices that make life on the trail fun, easier, better, more comfortable...well you know!
We used the Porta Privy while at SnT 08 as a convenient pisser, and every morning the neighbours who supplied it, put their used coffee grounds on it and it deterred any smell. Worked great, lots of people used it, held up better than that Frenchy tent next door did when it got real windy one afternoon and through the night. So much so, the owner got a Porta Privy afterwards. They go up in seconds and down in seconds. Light weight, dry fast, and have much of the features of the expensive ones, towel strings, shower hose hole and hook, pockets for toiletries, etc. not bad for under $40! Sometimes you ca get them on sale at |Costco for 29.99.
OK who's going to organize the next item? This was great!
