“It’s my poop in a box”

July 15th, 2008  |  by Andy  Published in Camping, Fishing, Gear  |  2 Comments

box.
If you’re camping, say, in the Quetico, where are no latrines, you now have yourself an alternative to digging a ‘cat hole’ (and can I just say right now, I’ve always been totally grossed out by that term).

Shit Box is a collapsible and re-usable cardboard porta-potty, in the truest sense. It comes with 10 biodegradable poo bags and caters to any outdoor setting where take-out is the only option. The manufacturer recommends it for camping, fishing, festivals and as their web site says, “kids caught short”.

But why stop there? Shit Box is perfect for uninterrupted Superbowl viewing; all-night Halo 3 tournaments; too-drunk-to-walk-to-the-portapotty tailgating parties and of course, never-leave-the-line midnight sci-fi movie premieres. Via The Goat.

    When is take-out the only option? Where there is a will, there will be a way.

    I just saw a poo-bag advertised in Backpacker Magazine. The spread was of a climber hanging a ways up Half-Dome, and near and dear to his perch, the poo bag. Ok, in that situation, maybe. Probably been done for years.

    Just be careful which bag you grab the trail mix from.
