Dunnies for the Scrub

Not a nice subject but ya gotta ask.
well if ya like me and I'm sure ya not, the knees are stuffed and squatting is not really an option.  I got no strength in my knees anymore.
I'll either fall on my rear end or do a half stand              it's always a half stand     and sing the national anthem     
I might have asked before but what other options have ya's come up with to sit and read    
without all the black currants commonly known as flies     

i have a toilet seat looks a bit like the fold up types but with a butt hole in it. good for just me if i am going out for a week or more in the bush but not for the missus, when she is with me then its the jayco, toilet/shower tent and the chemi dunny. dont like the chemi dunnies  but gotta do my bit for the missus.

BNugs,
Even though I was fit back in the 80 early 90's the flies (enough information)
Before every trip I'd cut the top & bottom out of a 5 gallon oil drum, the top in the rough shape of a dunny seat, add a bit of carpet.
Every morning    and place drum over it and when I was leaving drop it down an old mine shaft.
You can buy the fold up ones now in any camping store.

On another note - bush showers.
Soon got sick of the "pommy wash" so went to a caravan/camping shop to see if they had the hessian bag with a shower rose on it. Young shop assistant told me I should go solar, thinking many $$'s would need to be shelled out I followed to the aisle. $20 something and I had a 20 litre bag, filled it at the nearest windmill trough each morning and laid it on the bonnet clear side up.
Absolute heaven if you were sure to shower before the sun went down. If the sunset deadline was missed a billy of boiling water added to bag fixed that.

Those were the days, now we've gone soft, caravans with all the home comforts.  

soft all right--I use the dunny seat and the coles plastic bags at the vegie section fit just right..

and while pete is on about showers --if I am camped up I use a 20 litre black bucket left in the sun and if its a late 8pm shower , then a kettle of boiling water is just right to bring the temp back up again so every thing doesn't shrivel away--use a 12v primus pump and hand piece--works a treat

if we r on the go then its back to the 20l plastic tank on the roof of the wagons hooked up with a shower rose and a tap fitted on it..

doesn't matter how ya like it , that's a personal one ... main thing that matters is you bury them deep so the flys don't sit on a steamy goonna & take a liking to my sandwich at lunch time afterwards , general hygiene & do it at least 80 metres downwind from the base camp , simple thing , but some iv camped with just love to share a toilet close to camp ... just dumb I spose .

Another use for a Milk Crate...

I use one to stop stuff rolling around in the back of the ute but mine has a cut out bottom and a toggle bolted an old plastic dunny seat on it upside down for comfort.

Place it under a tree with a dead branch for the roll at grab height at grab height and feel quite civilised and just hose it for the next trip....

Thankyou Masters!

Some blokes even have it worked out to a fine artform

   Diggin me grave   

Hmmmm, the milk crate is a damn good idea. I'll head down to the local IGA and knick one    only joking
but it's junk collection time in my area, I'll keep my eyes open.
was gunna also grab an old fridge and see if it works ok as an ice chest but they is all gone    mongrels

I still use the Dig Dump and Cover method, however as the Mrs and kids want to venture out this season it will have to be one of those flash portable chemical toilet things.
Pretty sure who’s going to have to do the cleaning of it though..  

Shower – been prospecting in the Pilbara for 5 years, but I’m only out for a maximum of 4 or 5 days and haven’t had one yet .. Probably best I keep prospecting alone   
But the swag gets a wash once a year !!

wash the swag once a year , yep sure do , just ckuck it in the pool for 2 days ...... anyone for a swim?

ahh she all comfort --well some times it is..
