Good option when faced with an unpleasant task

By Walt Walter July 31, 2007

I recently found myself the leader of a youth group of 12 people that was planning on spending a week in the a remote area of the backcountry. Faced with the prospect of 12 people spending 6 days in the semi-alpine environment, I was looking for better options than the age old 'cat hole'. We decided to give these bags a try and they worked out great. We actually got one of the PETT toilets as well. While Phillips Environmental says that these bags can be used multiple times, I wouldn't suggest it. However, they are easy to use and rather convenient. The powder in the bags will reduce the solid waste to a biologically safe, trash disposable gel. We packed the used bags in 5 gallon bucket with a lid that had been decorated with a 'toxic' symbol and easily disposed of the bags when the trip was over.
