If you use this for camping with a bag in a 5 gal. bucket, What do you do with the waste when you leave? Can you use gelling stuff with this?

This Blue product is for waste management, sanitation, and odor control. Gelling Stuff is OK but disposing of it correctly is the solution and the end to dealing with the messy stuff Paul . . . The reason for the use of a bucket is for comfort and convenience, you always have to have a Disposal PLAN. Location is a factor, in the stixs or boondocking, you gell and burry . . . Good luck

Bio Blue is not for use in the bucket potty; it is for a portable with a water reservoir. Bio Blue was incorrectly paired with the Double Doodie bags as items also purchased by people who purchased the bucket potty.

if you are using food, i would only use food grade buckets. Any thing else has the potential to leech toxins into the food, as there is always a risk the mylar bag was not sealed properly, or had a tear. Just a thought.

I filled a 5 gal food-grade bucket with a good chunk of the flour (probably close to 25lbs although you can get more if you shake it real good to make it settle), threw in some oxygen absorber packets, and sealed it with a Gamma Seal. Then I split the rest into airtight 1-gal glass jars, some in the freezer, some in the fridge. I scoop from a fridge container, and when it's empty replace it with one from the freezer.

I would go with the bucket if I were home, but I used this when I did a 60 mile walk and could not fit a bucket into my gear. Being able to inflate this and fill with warm water and Epsom salt was what my poor tired feet needed at the end of each day.

I own this but as a backpacker if I want it to stay dry I use ziplock bags. They make them up to 10 gallon size.

YES, I have been using this item for several years, recently I have been using ZipLoc Perfect Portions to place whatever food I am going to place in my Handi-Vac bags, this will keep the food fresher and also keep freezer burn from happening. Can't say enough good things about this product, I always use this when I buy in bulk for chicken, steaks, or anything else I freeze. I was the used bags with soap and water and let them dry, and use them again. Hope this was helpful and answered your question.

It's very similar to a 5 gallon bucket. I use two garbage bags (one inside the other) and kitty litter. Much easier. Just tie up and throw in the dumpsters. Great way for easier disposal and odor free.

Leaving it empty mind of defeats the purpose. Are you planning on refilling it when you get to where you're going? But to answer your question as best I can, I would NOT empty it.

to be safe, I would get a five gallon bucket, WE did a 28 ft. fifth wheel and had about a quart and 1/2 left over, does a very good job!!

There is a bucket in there and you put a plastic bag inside the bucket and then put in square frame. There is a door in the bottom back where you store the bags to use. Dispose of dirty bags properly. Perfect for camping! 5 stars

I totally agree with the other answers. I have used glass mason jars and a cooler filled with hot water wrapped in a big towel and it worked but like jMack that bucket fits snug in there and I also think that is the key.

Yes you can...Use a 13 gal. trash bag...But i think its just as easy dumping the bucket into a loose trash bag.

yes you take camp toilet apart with two side latches and the bottom part has the waste in it and can even be dumped into your house commode.the top part only has the flush water in it.i have two of these in deer stands and I am very happy with this toilet and you definitely want the 5 gal capacity.

I just use a little bucket to keep it in, there may be a special holder out there but I'm not aware of it. Sorry.

Yes! I use it very effectively in my 5-gallon container. These are great bags. Since discovering these, I don't even think about using any other type of bag.

I'll be honest, this unit conked out in a matter of weeks - I wouldn't use it at all. It's also big, I think it would take up a lot of room in a five-gallon bucket, and not leave room for much else. Just my thoughts.

I haven't tried yet, I'm still using the complimentary bags that came with the trash can. However, it looks as if you can use just any bags that are big enough. I just went to the kitchen and tried one of my old 13 gal bags and it fits fine, it's even a bit large but this doesn't matter, you just have to pul the strings together and push one side to the little hole on top of the plastic insert.
