Container Distributing Hunter’s Bucket Toilet Seat

Backwoods hiking, camping and hunting can all be interrupted when nature calls, but taking a bucket toilet is an affordable and efficient way to be prepared. It is possible to use sanitary bags to tie off and contain the contents, but not all bucket-to-seat adapters come with those bags, so be prepared to purchase those separately.

You’ll want to note the items that are not included. The seats almost never come with a bucket base, unless specifically listed as a package deal. Aspiring campers might have trouble finding compatible buckets, so be prepared to hunt around for a container that fits your selected seat.

Dealing with the contents of a “honey bucket” hygienically can be tricky, but there are a variety of helpful tricks to deal with the situation safely and without making a big stink. Be sure you dispose of the contents of your bucket in accordance with local laws.

• Cat litter is a cheap way to absorb liquid and cover up smells. It has no expiration date and comes in waterproof bags and boxes. You can use this in your bucket to keep things fresher.
• Using resources from your surroundings can be an affordable and effective method to soak up the contents of your bucket. Sawdust from a worksite or sand from a beach or river shore provide effective absorbent material, free of charge.
• Be sure that the toilet seat you purchase can support the weight of all family members and friends who might be using it.
• Clean your seat with a personal wipe after each use to keep things fresh.
