Trail Essentials Bury in Ground Toilet Liners

Avid kayak camper. Do many multi day trips down rivers. I carry a 7 gallon bucket in the tankwell. It holds a bag of firewood with the lid closed and it also serves as my camp toilet with the addition of these bio bags and a couple pool noodles for a seat and there you have it. Sit as long as you like without fear of ticks and other critters nipping at your back door. These bags are perfect, they are long enough to drape over the bucket and hang held by the noodles. I will say be careful, handle with extreme care after your business is done because they're not heavy duty, not medium, very light. I've had some tear before i could successfully burry them. But the roll is compact, easy to use, does the job and it's bio friendly. I've been doing this for a long time and these are the only bags i use.

For the last 4 years we’ve rented what’s called a semi-primitive cabin near the C&O Canal in Maryland every spring — that means it has electricity and well water, but also an outhouse (and no showers between Nov and April). Outhouses were not an issue until one visit it was storming day and night for 2 days, and trekking to the outhouse was no picnic. This spring we brought the Green Elephant portable commode and used it with the Trail Essentials biodegradable toilet bags. They worked brilliantly together! The Green Elephant commode was very sturdy and stable, and was a good height from the ground. The bags fit snugly over the top of the seat, and remained securely in place until they were removed. Because the bags were biodegradable, they could be dropped into the outhouse once the rain cleared. Highly recommend!

Fits our 5 gal bucket and has a nice storage bag for unused bags.

This is a very useful product for "off the grid" camping. In our travels, we sometimes camp in areas without hook ups (water, electric, sewer). Nature still calls when in these areas, and rather than fill our tanks with smelly waste, we elect to use these biodegradable bags. The size is great, they're simply to use (line the existing toilet) and when done, being biodegradable, they're easy to dispose of. Great product for us!

The bags are durable and most importantly for me “compostable”. The bags are also a less expensive option to the Camode bag liners that I was using before. As a contractor that delivers a service and drives any where from 10 to 100 miles in a given day, these bags save me the time of traveling to and finding a working and clean bathroom. I use these bags along with waste solidifying powders and a pop up tent. I can waste up to 1.5 hours looking for and getting to and back from a bathroom. Or I used to waste that amount of time but not anymore thanks to these bags all I need to find is an empty parking lot or area. Done.

Perfect for off grid camping.

I'm a repeat customer for these bags which I utilize full time for my home composting toilet. If you have concerns about using a biodegradable bag because of the quality of the product and material used for this purpose from checking out other biodegradable bags, this is not those other products. I have never had any issues with anything contained within the bag not staying solidly inside the bag or with the bag breaking down before I am done using it.

These are very biodegradable. Like thin biodegradable plastic bags for produce at certain eco-conscious supermarkets, like Trader Joe's. Alas, they are a little too biodegradable. I had them carefully stored, for 3 years, then pulled them out to use on camping trip. They had "biodegraded" so that all of them ripped upon touching (even very carefully). Probably they are sufficiently strong when new so as to not rip. But, since a rip in the field is disastrous, can you trust them? There is no shelf-life disclaimer in the Amazon product page. So, buyer beware, and be prepared.
