What do you do with toilet when camping?
The most budget-friendly option is the good ol’ 5 gallon bucket camping toilet. It’s simply a standard 5 gallon plastic bucket with a toilet seat attached. You add a liner bag to the bucket, a scoop of gelling powder, a roll of toilet paper on the bucket’s handle, and you’re ready to do your business!

How do you poop dispersed camping?
Always poop at least 200ft (60m) from water sources, trails, roads, and established campsites. Use outhouses, pit toilets, and other designated facilities whenever possible.

How do you pee at night when camping?
At night, use a pee bottle. I like using an extra-large collapsible Nalgene Cantene. Use a permanent marker to label the bottle (I typically mark a skull and crossbones on it) so it doesn’t get mixed up with your regular water bottles. No matter what, make sure it’s collapsible and has a wide mouth.
Where do you empty a camp toilet?

Pooping in the woods might feel like getting back to nature, but if done improperly it can pollute water sources and infect native fauna—not to mention ruin the natural beauty of a place. Giardia, salmonella, E. coli, and even hepatitis can be passed from humans to animals via discarded feces.

Human Waste
- Bury it into a hole that’s at least six inches deep and away from any water sources.

- If you’re not fond of the smearing technique and cannot bury it, use a sealable plastic bag like you would for a dog.

- Line your toilet bowl (under the seat) with a plastic kitchen garbage bag inside another kitchen garbage bag.

How do you pee in a tent camping?
Women have two general options for peeing outdoors: You can go with the classic squat, or you can make use of an FUD (female urination device). A female urination device is essentially a funnel.
