I'm planning a trip with my son to do some rockhounding. We'll take our mini-bus and dry camp.
The last time we did this we used a pail with cat litter, and it wasn't a resounding success. Smelled awful, even though he'd go off and use the bushes half the time. Fortunately I didn't have to carry the stink bucket and its triple bagged load inside the van.
This time I want to have separate buckets for pee and poo, and use sawdust instead of cat litter. We recently moved to a city that mandates recycling and food composting, and now have a compost pail and the requisite green bags to line it. Changing out the food waste can yesterday, it occurred to me that this bag could be used inside the poop pail, sawdust used to cover the poop, swap the bag out every couple of poops, and then the whole bag could be buried on site using the same guidelines as camping, ie not near water or in watersheds, off the path, etc.
Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
TA
