I was talking to my coworker's wife who has gone several times and she told me she brings her own toilet seat to the portas which seems very odd at first, but her arguments did make sense - porta seats are very thin and low the the surrounds thereby increasing your chances of contamination, the seat's only had your arse on it, and it's bound to be clean and ready to go. I asked if she got weird looks for this but she said everyone's usually too out of their minds to notice.
My thing is how do you clean the bottom of it that touches the porto? If you're carrying it around all day and it had been sitting on the seat, that just seems dangerous to me.
Tuesday before roo I took laxatives. Wednesday before I left for my roo journey, I took a few imodium. I only peed at roo and I ate a ton of greasy bad things at roo.
Before anyone says anything, yes I know it's bad, but I have my comfort zones for #2, and a porto is not one of them. I plan to only do this at Roo once a year, however, in my long distance running days, I would do something similar before a big race... just not as much.
Honestly, after seeing the porto situation at roo (it was my first year), it was scarier than i thought possible. It changed me. I never would have done this last year but I watched/read everything on the internet about roo and i was convinved the porto/poop combo wasn't for me.
I took Imodium for the first time ever a couple months ago. Didn't poop for three days and it was awful. I was uncomfortable and when I finally did poop...well, it was painful. And plentiful. If I attempted that for Roo, I'm afraid it would catch up to me on Sunday and I'd regret it. I guess I'll just continue letting nature do her thing and deal with porto-pooping.
Morning number 2's are great if you can beat the heat but nothing beats a nighttime deuce right after they clean them. Bricking in luxury is what that is.
I've had Frank Reynolds in "The Gang Gets Invincible" experiences, though, and I'd prefer to avoid that sort of shiz ever again. I never wanted to know what it felt like to take a dump in a sauna but now I know. Not so fun.
You've stood in a trash can and hallucinated that you were stuck in an RV bathroom?

Browning in a green man suit would probably be the equivalent of a poopocalypse
This will be my 9th year in a row and I'm definitely investing in a portable camping toilet. My neighbors had one last year and it's amazing. It is basically a bucket, with what looked like mulch at the bottom. You do your thing in the thing, then dump it in black trash bag made for landfill.
One downfall of Tent Only camping is being so far away from all the portopotties. This year is going to be amazing. Pee and poop any time I want! Woohoo!!
I'm beginning to think that I'm the only one that wears diapers to this thing.
I haven't yet... but I'm not entirely opposed to the idea, either. What else is a fella to do if he wants to drink or enjoy certain types of corn, and still get up close? Lug around a Gatorade bottle all night? Hold it in and distract myself from the show like a chump? Pssh. Amateurs.
As for the other, I just hold it 'til the unpleasantness of constant stomach cramps outweighs the unpleasantness of 10 minutes in a porto, and whenever that happens, so be it. Morning or night, it's going to be unpleasant either way. I also try to minimise dairy, wheat, and coffee at fests for this very reason, but sometimes those garlic grilled cheeses are just too tempting.
The festival I attended in January had proper outhouses, which seemed downright luxurious compared to porto-potties - and bonus points, there were lights in there! No more people aiming blindly! No more Frank Reynolds freakouts in the dark on a head full of corn! I wish Bonnaroo would consider this, especially as it all goes right into a compost heap, and they've been trying to push the eco-friendly thing for several years now.
P.S. Who opens their mouth to scream in a flying porto-potty? That's just asking for trouble.
I'm going to sneak into the VIP bathrooms and lay a precious GA dump for all you yuppies.
Not if the poop cops have anything to say about it
We shall see, maybe they'll catch me, maybe not.But I can tell you this, what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you give up now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for your precious toilets, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will shit in your toilet.
