Pack it out like the rafters. REI can fix you up.

Refills for The PETT™ Portable Environmental Toilet, these single-use, zip-close Cleanwaste WAG BAG® Toilet in a Bag™ human waste bags can also be used separately for camping.

Each degradable kit contains a WAG BAG waste bag, zip-close storage bag, toilet paper and hand wipe
Disposal bags contain Poo Powder™ which quickly turns waste into a stable gel for easy transport and safe disposal
Uses odor neutralizers, not perfumes, to eliminate unpleasant odors; decay catalyst initiates decomposition
Environmentally friendly, landfill-approved WAG BAG waste bags can be disposed of in trash with regular garbage
Permitted by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management for use on rivers and in Wilderness Areas where toilets are required
Cleanwaste WAG BAG waste bags are recommended by the Leave No Trace program in conjunction with the National Forest Service


Made in USA.

The wag bags work surprisingly well. Open em up and they are a big target so you don't make a mess in your tent in a raging blizzard, the gel stuff makes them smell no worse than a dirty diaper when open, and they close up tight enough that you can't smell em in your backpack even the third or fourth day. One bag is good for a couple man sized dumps.

Makes it pretty easy to pack out your poop. Helps keep the neighbors happy too.

Wish I could get up there this weekend. Looks like a cool spot

We all know how dogs like poo. That gives me an idea. Does anyone want me to take their dog for a morning walk? :D

Returning in trail to the parking lot with wood.

Had a nice sunset ride home last night. Wish I didn't have to work today so I could have stayed.
Have fun over there, and post up some trip report pics so I can see what I'm missing.

Re: Powers, OR (6S6) - June 15-16

Looks like you're having a great time!

Unfortunately, it looks like myself and the family won't make it to Agness tomorrow. :( My generator gave up the ghost on the way home from Idaho today. Haven't had time to do much troubleshooting on it yet. Made it home fine by turning off all but the necessities. Those little odessey batteries are awesome!

My daughter and I had an awesome trip to Idaho, so I can't really complain, but we're all bummed that we'll miss you. Have fun!
