Ep137 - How Do Camping Toilets Work?

October 28, 2024 • Snowys Outdoors

On the go, but gotta go? A camping toilet can be the clean solution to a road-side dump.

From chemical cassettes to composting solutions, the topic of portable toilets can get a little deep for the first-timer (despite the shallow bowl!). In this episode, Ben and Lauren unclog the brain-drain and break down exactly how camping toilets work, diving into tank designs, chemical requirements, and the ins and outs of the Joolca GottaGo.

Listen up to get to the bottom of every outdoor toilet doubt!
