How to crap in the bush when camping.

[duggie]

Hello peoples,

I came across this Video on my facebook page, if everyone did this when camping there would not be so many brown and white butterflies flying about in the bush.

Not a bad video at all; people are feral when it comes to keeping our bush clean. It's really not that hard.

Its pretty sad when someone feels the need to have to make a video............

I must agree, but if and when you ever get a chance to travel up to the tip of Cape York along any of the tracks, you will see first hand how bad this is.  Every tree within walking distance form any camp spot have unburied turds sitting on the ground,nearly every tree and bush has used toilet paper hanging off branches.

People wonder why grazing properties and camping areas are locking people out, it is a problem, and maybe some people need to be educated.

In todays society of chemical toilets I don't know why people still have to Shit in the scrub?

He left out a very important bit at the end.
He didn't mark the spot.
Take 4 twigs and place them thus #

Given the choice I'd rather crap in a portaloo too but there are some mongrals around

Hi,
   Didn't show the  shovel handle knee brace  needed by most over the age of 50.

No wonder WA has made it mandatory for Portaloos when camping if there are no facilities.

I don't have a chemical toilet, and I (and my kids) know how to do what he just showed. We have a pack in the car at all times, has paper, matches and hand sanitiser. Shovel lives in the car too. If there is a toilet around we'll use that.

Needs to do a video on when to crap. As an example, I walked into the tent yesterday and there was a feathered scavenger in there. It was trying to get out as I was trying to get in. I went mighty close let me tell ya...

Carrying a full portaloo in the back of my wagon for 5 days across the desert or crap in a hole? I know which I'd rather do

Sorry, think I missed the point here, where do you find a dump point along the Gunbarrel highway for example, especially if you were taking your time to travel it. Don't think I would like to have a full porta potti sitting in the back of my car for a couple of weeks.
It really depends where you are travelling through, I think there is still a very handy need for the good old shovel.

What happened to leave nothing but footprints....I don't think it means footprints either side of a great big grogan
Granted there's the odd ocasion but it should be the exception not the norm

[Rumpig]

i reckon his hole should be dug deeper myself, but i like the fact he's made the effort to have a go at the grubs out there that can't do the right thing 
I'm happy to use either a chemical toilet or a shovel, both work just as good as each other, just depends on where we are or where camped as to which one we use.

same here - I hate walking through the dunes and finding reams of toilet paper stretched across the sand as much as I hate stepping over petrified nuggets

Not trying to be argumentative or a protagonist, & yes i agree with the sentiment expressed & would have no problem complying with the request,..........

however what about the millions & i mean millions of wild animals, feral dogs, camels, horses, kangaroos etc etc that roam the great outback, dont see them carrying around a shovel...... to bury their crap

Before you jump on my throat, i can appreciate the watercourse & paper issue, but wouldnt a turd in the outback with little or no humidity & exposed to the dry desert sun turn to a crunchy rock apple inside 3 days & then dust.

And before i get lambasted over human consumption/disease/waste vs animal waste....what difference does it make if its buried 

I do however like his presentation skills... straight to the point & pulls no punches... my kinda bloke

Hi,
   The herbivore faeces are not as gross as the carnivore or omnivore faeces.
Bury it.
Cheers

one reason we don't own a dog...when they come with their bum holes sewn up, i'll get one  Absolutely hate dog crap about the place, and hate lazy pet owners who don't clean up after their pets either 

[dales133]

Fair point moggy but heavily populated camping areas or we'll worn tracks would be revolting to say the least if everyone just took a dump where the please....plus this is australia land of the flies.
Don't need to attract them unnecessary or have them land on your steak after they've just done river dance on old mates pooh

I too would rather dig a hole and set up the Jimmys Thunderbox. But with an Electric flush toilet in Camper with Wife and Daughter, it's good for middle of the night calling.

[Andreweasty90]

I don't see what is hard about burying it, I know what some see hard about it they don't want to get a blister from using a shovel
