    Never really though but my house only has one loo too. How did we ever manage ? Yes a porta loo in the outhouse will be fine and that one as most split easy to carry and empty .You can flush it down your (only) toilet no problems clean it out from a outside tap with a dedicated hosepipe . Jobby done

    I have a camping toilet like that. As long as you use the proper chemicals and proper toiletpaper (don't use normal toilet paper) - most of the contents break up. Easily flushable down a toilet. If you use the chemicals then don't empty in the woods of anything as bad for environment.

    And if you dont use chemicals please still dont empty it in the woods. :( Only bears !!!! in the woods

    Why not just dig a Long Drop?

  • Providing you add some blue or green fluid (blue works better) you will be fine emptying down toilet as contents will indeed be mainly liquid.
    As someone said by cheaper thinner toilet paper or eco stuff as will work better with chemical loo

    Why don't you just get a simple commode?

    No chemicals and no ffaffing around emptying it. - Just tip the bucket straight in to the ordinary loo.

    Two simple rules for it's use - Wee only and whoever fills it empties it. - And with the second rule you'll be amazed how many people can learn to share just one ordinary toilet quite civilly.

    (And if you have a compost heap the wee can go on there.)

    I bet your friends are beating a path to your door knowing that they have to cr"p in a bucket and then launch it down the manhole. Just hope nobody gets a dose of the turkey squirts.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.
