I can't believe these products actually exist (and yes, I did think the shit box was a joke when I first saw it, and I'm still not 100% sure it's for real).

But come on ... there's plenty of toilets at Glastonbury. You're never that far from one. And while the smell's bad, it's not quite so bad that I'd rather crap in a plastic bag in my tent (which is basically what these ridiculous things come down to).

Thanks. But, er, no thanks.

Edit to add: that's not to say I won't be interesting in hearing reviews from anyone who uses one this year. Reactions from other people sharing your tent or camped close by are welcome too!

i'd agree that these things arent exactly right for a cramped tent..for many of the reasons already stated. But....if you are in the van fields and caught short in the night you have little choice but to seek out the nearest turdis with your torch as the long drops arent an option unless you fancy the walk (or have the time to do so!).

...as such one of these in your awning could be pretty handy. Yes..I know you could use a shreddies box and an asda bag but I'm pretty sure the guy that designed this has tried all those options to find out the issues and improve on them. It's not £15.67 for 10 shits either...its £15.67 for the box and 10 bags...after you've used the first 10 you just buy more bags not the whole kit again...so the more shits you do the cheaper it becomes....and if as i said earlier you can re-use by sticking some loo fluid in the bag first then it becomes even more practical. as for the embarassment of disposing of a bag of shit well i agree that might be true on site..but in the van fields there are folks carrying buckets of human waste to the disposal point all day long...

i'm going to try it...i'll get one and let you all know how the test run(s) go... :)

oh and yes...they are real..a friend has one already..in mint unused condition...as yet :P

its good in theory but

1. your tent would stink of shit

2. after a few ales you are bound to miss and shit on your ground sheet

3. it is impossible to shit without pissing and the hole doesnt look big enough to fit my chopper down too

4. I weight 14stone so when sat on it it would probably collapse and I'd end up with shitty arse cheeks all weekend.

5. Imagine taking a girl back to your tent and having a shitbox in the corner

AVOID

what do you do with the bag once its used?

does all rubbish at glastonbury not go through a recycling team?? i'd hate to think of some poor bugger opening a bag to find a 5 day old poo :lol:
