The Peepoo. Pee in a bag.

I read about this new product developed mainly for third world countries to help cope with unsanitary waste disposal systems. I naturally thought it might be a good solution for backpackers too. The basic idea of the Peepoo is: "The Peepoo (pat.pend) is a personal single use toilet, that sanitise the human excreta shortly after the defecation, preventing the faeces from contaminating the immediate as well as the larger environment."

This trip could be called an "Introduction to Backpacking" for me and my son. We have done car camping, but yearned for a taste of “true” camping. Having enjoyed accumulating our assortment
