They're a good thing I reckon. Take up bugger all room and are a decent height for those with dodgy knees and backs. A biodegradeable rubbish bag (ie breaks down in a couple of months not the 10 year ones) with the bottom torn out prevents any soiling of the inside of the thunderbox, and you can just drop it down the hole when you pack up before filling it in.
Really need to make a base plate for them though as they will sink into sand - a piece of 60cm square plywood with a hole cut out and a couple of locating strips for the thunderbox works great.

I normally try and locate a fallen tree and use that for a seat - dig a big hole behind it and enthrone thyself onto it.

However, the missus isn't keen so I'm going to get her a Thunderbox and if the ground is too hard and a hole can't be dug underneath it, some of the biodegradable bags as SteveG suggests.

You can buy a porta potty for that and it works regardless of how hard the ground is, have a look at what is happening in National parks in Vic., if we don't clean our act up we will be camping in our backyards, Regards Frank.

Sorry I forgot about this thread

Toilet Chemical

1 cup borax mixed with 11/2 litres hot water (not boiling) in a 4 litre container. When cool add 1 cup of ammonia and 1 cup pineocleen, fill and shake well.

Add 25ml to 5 litre tank, 50ml/10 litre etc.

To keep the bowl clean
Add a squirt of pineoleen and a squirt of dishwashing liquid with the water.

I was down at the Army camp at Canungra the other day and commented on the long row of toilet trailers parked in the transport compound. I enquired re the reason for these lovely little trailers (each one has its own ARN...wonder there isn't a register for them by now!) and was told that they (soldiers) are no longer allowed to dig a hole and mark with a ring of stones to denote foul ground as we once did, but instead must be supplied with trailers.

I do realise that Canungra is a training establishment and therefore stuck with this unnecessary civvy OH&S garbage, but this is verging on the ridiculous. It won't be long before this restriction is enforced on us mere mortals.
Makes the imagination go wild when envisaging an all out Infantry siege sometime in the future, all these little trailers parked in a circle.
