Camping is a game changer!

We love this thing! Easy installation. We were lucky to have a pump at the campsite. It was 100 meters from our place. A full container is quite heavy - FYI. Open the "I just pooped" slider to the left of the toilet and add some biologically clean detergent/tablet/whatever and add some clean water as instructed. Connect top and bottom. toilet parts. Squeeze the flush lever several times to wet the chemicals - ready to use. Close the I just flushed lever. Don't use a dry bowl (this will prevent /things/ from sticking to the bowl). Optional, but recommended: Set up a toilet tent. The toilet camp is already set up. because we thought it was the best option for this toilet and the chemicals we use. Of course it was a very short trip - one night, two people. But we still treated this thing like we treat our toilets at home (his and her house is a toilet here). And it was GREAT. We haven't used nearly all of the clean water yet. emptying. Rubber gloves might be comfortable for you, but the whole process is pretty clean from start to finish. I divided the two parts as previously described. Unused clean water drained into the ground at the campsite. The lower part ("I just shit” closed the slider tightly!) into the bathroom. NOTE: The chemicals we use are SAFE to pour down a regular toilet. YMMV. It probably took six fills/flushes to get the dirty tank almost empty, so we'll do without a hose/spray gun. NOTE: You may need to close this "I just pooped" lever and drain/flush the contents between fills/flushes. It's a good upper body workout, it feels a bit odd, but it won't make you feel bad if you don't do it wrong. If you have access to a hose you can help with the mopping cleaning by adding water and maybe cleaning the thing out completely before you head home. that's what we used) - no stuffy nose or gagging etc. Wipe out the bowl with toilet paper and that's basically it. Again - rubber gloves can help you feel better at this stage, but if you're careful you'll be fine. Oh tent. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073GSLZTVI read reviews of many retreat tents here on Revain and finally settled on this one. This is PERFECT for our toilet. We've added a cost-effective USB-rechargeable LED motion-sensing flashlight to the mesh pocket. So if you need to leave, just unzip the door, step in and the light comes on. The toilet is right there, TP is waiting in another mesh pocket. Wash and sanitize your hands when you're done and get back to enjoying the great outdoors. This might be a long review but that's ok. We LOVE this toilet and it has really changed our camping life. It's like we didn't have a camping life until we got this toilet and I've waited SO MANY years to go camping with my beautiful wife. I'm just not sure if any of us knew what was holding us until VIEW OF THE PRIVACY FOREST TOILET. She is happy. And that's what I mean.
