Choosing a Portable Camp Toilet

If you find yourself in a survival situation lasting more than a couple of hours, there is a strong possibility you’re going to need to use the bathroom at some point.

Adding a camp toilet to your bug out bag is one way to ensure you can do your business with minimal hassle.

Most portable camp toilets require you to use a bag.

Many of these bags already come pre-treated with chemicals that help break down waste into a non-hazardous material, but if your brand of bags don’t, those chemicals are also sold separately.

It might be tempting to skip this step, particularly in a survival situation.

However, waste that is improperly disposed of not only smells bad, but it could also attract predators if you are in the wild.

Now that you know a little about camp toilets, here are a few brands to consider.

Reliance Luggable Loo

The Reliance Luggable Loo is one of the highest rated portable camp toilets in the market, in spite of its simplicity.

The Luggable Loo is literally a five-gallon bucket with a toilet seat that screws into the top of it.

Reliance also makes its own brand of bags, the Double Doodie Bag, that comes pre-treated with chemicals to break down waste.

The Reliance Luggable Loo weighs three pounds and costs under $30. The bags are $18 for a pack of six.

SereneLife Portable Toilet

The SereneLife Portable Toilet is somewhat of a luxury backcountry toilet. This toilet flushes with the help of internal pistons and has a capacity of 5.3 gallons of water.

The SereneLife looks just like a regular toilet, so if you’re worried about missing out on the comforts of home this may be a good option for you.

The drawback is its size– 11.25 pounds is a lot of added weight to your pack. And there are no internal bags– you need to empty and clean it in between uses.

This is a better option if you’re going to be situated in one place for a while– it’s not necessarily a toilet to use if you expect to be on the move.
