I think that's part of boon docking. Getting back to nature and away from modern conveniences.

As an old tent camper, I have to ask, "What's the problem?" You're camping in the middle of nowhere. Great. 'Cat holes' and 'grease pits' have gotten the job done for many people over many years. If you have a family with personal privacy concerns, a fancier toilet using Boy Scout methods is fairly easy to rig, at least where trees are around. Perhaps you're in a place without trees? Out east or in the north, this is not a problem. That leaves only your fresh water tank to worry about. 

I hope you enjoy your trip.

So handle a baggy of poo and pee, multiple times a day/night.. to avoid.. what? Having to dump?

As far as capacity, we have been out for 10 days, black tank wasn't an issue. Fresh and grey are.

Are there any woods where you're going? What's Pod knockoff?

We are heading out to boon dock in early May where even pit toilets are not around.  A friend who has Pod knockoff, said that he's thinking of using disposable toilet liners instead of flushing the #2 into the blackwater tank.  Assuming that one only uses the blackwater tank for #1, its capacity will not be reached for a pretty long time, absent the consumption of extraordinary quantities of beer.  

So my question:  Has anyone tried these bags?  What was the overall result?  Would you do it again?  Where can you get the bags (Amazon's are really expensive)?
