I fixed up a sweet toilet for to bring along. Take yer standard toilet seat, hook it up to two upside down milk crates with the bottoms cut out, stick it over a hole and BLAMMMO.... a Port-a-roo, just for YOU!
As your attorney I advise you to drive at top speed and it'll be a Goddamn miracle if we get there before you turn into some kind of wild animal. Are you ready for that? Checking into a Las Vegas hotel under a phony name with the intent to commit capital fraud with a head full of acid? I certainly hope so...
There are these toilet seat on legs things that come with bags that can be disposed of (in the portos) after you do your business, instead of using a hole. You could use your plan, but get some of the bags that can then be properly disposed of and voila, no hole full of...stuff.
I'm thinking Roo officials, not to mention your neighbors, may not be happy with a hole in the ground full of...

HAAAAAAAAAA.............I was SO trying to avoid getting into this thread.....LOL "...stick it over a hole and BLAMMMO..." :/ Hole? Where? Yuck! LOL! Crazy! :/
But, yeah , I've read online a lot of people just put the toilet seat on top of a 5 gallon bucket. And line the bucket with sturdy trash bags & maybe some cat litter. Seriously. But I'ma stick to the portapotties. ;D
HA! those port-a-loos will KILL anything that comes within 3 feet of em. Just buy an outhouse tent like ours, then stick yer homemade privy seat in there and BOY HOWDY! Avoid the long lines, stanky vibes, and definitely avoid sitting on anyones "near misses" in the loos. Hehehe. BTW, I will be giving an impromptu lecture on this topic at the corner of 5th and 1st on Saturday.

The body does strange things in extreme conditions
Another good example of why building your own is better. How many other people out there are filling the public johns 5 or 6 times a day. One year, my wife picked her way across 15 feet of ick, then opened the door to one of those things and it was almost piled completely to the top with stuff...she turned around and threw up right there. If you build one right, dig a 2 or 3 foot hole , use lime like in an old fashioned out house, and you use a privacy tent so no water gets in, it is perfectly sanitary. Just cover it with dirt before you leave town and there you go. No more barfing in front of the port-o-johns this year!!

Haha! This thread is disturbingly great. I can see where you're getting at....but it just sounds fishy.....good thing I'll be far away from anything like this being in VIP.

I don't think that anyone likes the port-o-potties. I know that I don't but, the idea of sh!tting at my campsite is simply revolting! At least the portos are cleaned out several times a day (Last year, they did an amazing job of keeping them clean!) but, letting it just pile up mere feet from where people are sleeping and eating is just plain disgusting! It's probably going to rain at some point! What then? Are we all expected to sleep in you sh!t? This is SO uncool, that I really can't even find the words to express how offended I would be if I had to camp next to you!

Hooray for poop-tents! I'll be furnishing mine with a commode (similar to the one pictured here: www.strokecenter.org/pat/ot/images/photos/commode-chair.jpg) (find them in your local medical equipment supplier's freezer), sturdy garbage bags for one-time use, & detergent to add to the bags before i seal and dispose of them, to cancel out any unpleasant odors.
Dude, I'm not digging a hole right next to anyone else's tent, I've got a port-a-john tent for personal use. All I have to do is cordon off a little courtyard between tent and car, and then put up the loo. It's private, and noone else will even know it's there. Rain will not affect the interior goings on... so no, there will be no rivers of poo all around...
And anyway, I'm a vet of each and every Roo. One thing you can be sure of every single year is that you will wake up and walk out of your tent to find some wookie p*ssing right behind your stuff. Isolating oneself from EVERY OTHER Roonies' bodily functions for all 4 days just never happens. Disgusting? You bet.

Exactly what I was thinking.......at least if they get lost in the middle of the night, they can just follow the stench back to camp

When it rains, water gets soaked into the ground and is dispersed underneath the ground as well. It doesn't really matter if you have a hole covered by elegant log cabin, without any blockade for under the ground your crap will make a bit of a disturbance. And you said you are putting this between your car and your tent? How is that not going to be near anybody?? a courtyard? how much of your 10x10 space do you plan on using? it is 10 feet, not 10 yards ya know... But whatever, I'll just meet my neighbors and if any of them mention a poop tent it might be worth going to BFE instead for me.
