How to manage your private moments
Traveling in a campervan, road trips with a roof tent, or even bivouacs have become a trend, and even a way of life for some people.
But how and where to relieve yourself when you embark on an adventure? Outdoors, dry toilets or even portable toilets, we describe the possibilities for you!
The most obvious solution is to stop at campsites, restaurants and areas. But when you are surrounded by nature, it is not easy to find suitable places.
The option for true adventurers: a hole and a shovel
However, there are things to consider before using this method. Be careful not to consider this option near a watercourse to avoid contamination. Rule out the option of doing it in the fields and think about the farmers. Also and above all, make sure to take your paper with you because the degradation process takes a long time.
Dry toilets
Among dry toilets, you will find foldable toilets, inexpensive and easy to install. This is a bag with a bowl that will not take too much space in the car. The major downside could be the odors.
Classic dry toilets consist of a bowl and a seat. Waste must be covered with dry biological substances such as sawdust or straw. The cost of the latter is lower than chemical toilets.
There are also composting toilets. Thanks to microorganisms and living organisms, stools are transformed into compost. This is a system that is used without water and which decomposes excrement naturally. It is a very ecological alternative.
Chemical toilets
Another method, which is obviously not our favorite is the use of chemical toilets. This is the most expensive option. They consist of a clean water tank and a tank to collect waste. Chemicals are added to dissolve them and to reduce odors. The downside is of course the use of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and health. Also pay attention to emptying which must be done in stations provided for this purpose in the campsite areas.
So, are you seeing things more clearly and are ready for the great adventure?
