A tip for camper trailers at remote sites.

[OntarioHunter]

Okay, you've pulled the trailer/RV up to a remote campsite with no amenities and expect weather to get cold and nasty. Filling up the sewage holding tank is not a good idea. So what to do? Sure, one can always poop over a log but that's not fun when it's freezing out. Porta-potty will do the job but storing and cleaning them is definitely no fun. Here's what I do: buy a couple boxes of kitchen waste bags, the white ones in large size. Open up a bag and drop it in RV toilet. Stretch the top of bag around top of toilet (lids up of course). The bag should just fit around the top of toilet. Drop the seat and squat in toasty sheltered comfort. When finished, peel the bag loose, tie the top closed, and drop into the campfire outside for sanitary incineration. I think the lady hunters will especially appreciate this tip.

Must be fun hanging out by the fire at your camp. Large size? Isn't that around 12 gallons? What the hell are you eating?

No matter how much beer you had in camp I would not hang out by your fire.

Nothing like sharing a campfire with friends and seeing whose $hit burns the hottest.

I would bet your s’mores taste like Sh@$!

Every time I smell burning plastic and shit I'm reminded of hunting camp.

 

[JEL]

No......just no. Please don't do this.

Why would you burn a plastic bag full of sh!t. That sounds like a horrible idea. If you are so set on using the toilet in your camper, flush with antifreeze, you can keep a jug next to the toilet.

All of my tanks (fresh, gray, and black) all have heaters on them.

Who needs Pyro Putty when you have a contractor bag full of mud monkeys lol.

On the few occasions when my water lines stayed frozen for more than a few hours we also used the gallon jug next to the toilet.
That is much better than smelling roasting turds when hanging out by the campfire.
I also agree that pooping outdoors is no fun in bad weather.

You could just drop the log in the fire. Keep your buns warm while you're letting loose.

Tips going over like a turd in the punch bowl. Rough crowd here.

You'll have problems if you use a 95 quart bag. That's why you end up bagging three or four times. A mature bowel movement requires a 150 quart, construction grade bag.

Have to be careful not to have any kind of "gas release" when attempting to fry thy turd. Open flames and methane don't mix!

Cancel chukar hunting trip with @JLS.............. Check.

This is one of the best Non-hunting threads I've seen on HuntTalk in quite a while.

David Lesh, is that you?

Need the large size kitchen bag to stretch over the toilet. Depth is not an issue. It's circumference. The cheap no name brand I bought is pretty thin. Not a lot of plastic but enough to not leak ... yet. No odor that I can detect as long as the campfire is burning hot. Sure beats having to mess with cleaning the sewage tank later in subzero weather.

Heaters on the tanks? Well that sounds like a fancy rock band pusher bus. How do you keep the heaters powered up? Listening to the drone of a generator all night? Real wilderness atmosphere. My camp is a bit more on the rustic side. Much more rustic when I was staying in my wall tent in subzero (F) weather. The answer then was a Chinette paper plate that got tossed in the stove. Warning: pay the money for Chinette plates. With a full load on board the cheap ones tend to collapse on the way to the fire. Been there done that. Also a good idea to practice aiming bombs during the off season. Preferably on a floor that's easily cleaned. Preferably when the wife is not at home. The paper plate trick worked for me for years ... but of course I always hunted alone. For a bunch of tough elk hunters you guys are sure squeamish. Who guts your animals? The butler?
