Making your own camping toilet will make doing your business more comfortable and clean, and you only need a pool noodle and a bucket. First, cut the pool noodle 1 inch shorter than your bucket’s circumference. Then, cut a line down the noodle’s length to open it up, and press it onto the bucket’s rim. To avoid the noodle coming off, spread some epoxy adhesive inside it before you attach it to the bucket. To use your toilet, just place a heavy duty garbage bag inside the bucket and over the noodle and scoop ½-inch of sawdust, cat litter, or dirt into the bucket to suppress the odor and soak up any fluid. Dispose of the bag after each use. For more tips, including how to make a camping toilet with a real toilet seat, read on!
