p(big). The idea came from Glastonbury in 1989...
I was in my tent on a sweaty early Sunday morning and needing to go... at
that stage the kharzees were mostly the "long drop" types and after 3 days of
everyones excess's this was the last place I wanted to visit in my rather fragile
state. In the corner of the tent was a box of Kleenex tissues and I just thought that
if the box was bigger and sturdy, I could rip out the oval bit in the middle and insert
a carrier bag and hey presto I have a toilet that I can use in my own tent! No more
throwing up/gagging whilst trying to hold your arse and clothes away from the long
drop seat... hooray.
Like all good ideas its taken me a while to get this one going as I got rather caught
up with my day job, but nearly 20 years later, about 50 prototypes on, the simple
idea that is "Shit Box":technical-specs/ has arrived. I’m not saying the experience is the most luxurious
but after having quite a few goes myself, I can honestly say it works!
Have a good one... and twos
