Doesn't matter. The stench would have been too much for my delicate nostrils.

so that's when the opposite of a breathe-right strip would come in handy

Depends on which side the wino is standing on.

Don't forget to bring a shitter. There are no portos out there year round.

got that covered. tested and approved the home depot bucket with potting soil

the trick to keeping down the odor is to keep the solid waste solid. in other words, pee in a separate container. worked really well.

Cat litter or the playa itself.

On the playa?! That is so gross. The bucket with soil sounds much more civilized.

In the bucket of course.

Oh, the wayward wino is a restless wino
A restless wino that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wino

I also carry a container of cedar saw dust.. an extra bucket to carry the Lug A Lu bags out.. Our county allows use to put the bags in the garbage can.. We have huge garbage burner plant. Like the potting soil idea.. Will try it next timeout..

you're lucky. our county doesn't allow human waste disposal through regular trash pickup. i'm letting the bucket run its course in a corner of the back yard hoping it will break down enough to just dump in the garden patch in a couple of months

Make sure that's not where you grow veggies. Perhaps when it has broken down it could be left in the sun for a few days, have the uv have at it.

I'm not the health department.

Humanure Must be composted twice.. Or compost it in a flower garden twice.. Or search human manure. I see it as dangerous stuff to work with..

Agreed. I'm just not as up on it as you are.

Lonesomebri · Post by **Lonesomebri** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:25 am

Poop in a bucket.....or just camp up under the cottonwoods on the surrounding foothills. Dig a 2 foot hole in the organic soil there.........
Pack out all paper, do the deed away from camp spots, trails, etc. and fill the hole when you are done.

how isolated were you?
were there any other campers?
did you feel safe?
how long did you stay?
do blm rangers patrol? did you see any?

We weren't camping, more of a brief visit to see what is was like. Didn't see anyone else, except the random vehicles on 447. Like no one was there. Lots of garbage from other folks, including what looked like a whole small camp bundled up and shoved in a steam vent along the highway. Shot up propane tanks in a kiddie pool full of mud. These were all near the edges, of course.

The BLM were probably miles away, holed up in the warmth. Felt as safe as one can in the great wide open, alone.

Here's what BRC looked like on July 6, 2012 in what would become 8:30 and D six weeks later.

Couple Julys ago we camped along the west-side road, in a nice little cove where apparently some of the pooper crew used to stay. Not much trash as such, just a few JOTS placards that had fallen off and been used for target practice, and about fifty pounds of spent bullet casings the 10yo with us bagged to take in for recycling.

That's not a bad haul, we get 1.60lb around here, probably a bit more in the bay. There's probably a shit-pot of brass out there for the taking.

what are those just laying around on the surface or do you have to use a metal detector to find them?

The brass should be at or near the surface, the lead you may will need a detector to find.
