For our trip into the Maze this year we needed to utilize a human waste management system. After some investigation and research I decided on the Pett Toilet. What I like about this system is that each member of the party deals with their own waste using Wag Bag. I purchase the Wag Bags by the 100 count which brings the coast way down. This system is also good for home emergency preparedness.

With a little instruction my 12 year old daughter has no problems using this system. The key is that once you have used a bag you need to remove all the air so it is compact for trash storage. I recommend a ammunition can dedicated to used wag bags. When you return to civilization WAG BAGS are approved for disposal as normal trash.

We also added the ThePUP™ Privacy Shelter. In desert environments there is not always a natural shelter to set the toilet up in. The shelter can also be used for showers.

I carry 1 bag for each team member per day plus 1 extra a day. You will need to tailor your count to your groups specific needs.
