A poop tube is a great way to manage your waste when you’re in nature. You can save money and make your own tube from a PVC pipe, coupler, cleanout and plug, toilet flange, and PVC cement. You’ll need to remove the metal collar of the toilet flange with a mallet, connect the longer tube to the flange with PVC cement, attach the coupler to the opposite end, and glue the coupler to the cleanout and plug. Wait at least 12 hours for the cement to set before you use your tube. When you’re away from a toilet, just poop on a paper towel or plastic bag, wrap it in a sealable bag, and seal it inside your poop tube. For more tips, including how to coat the inside of your poop tube to help seal the smell inside, read on.
