trust the Americans to be conscious of the eco system by placing poo in to several bags!!! it doesn't say empty those bags in to the toilet back at camp rather than just throw them all away....
I hope they are all biodegradable especially the zip lock
Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

SubscriberI spent a year and a bit (1997/8) in the Antarctic. Most of the year (1998) at one of Australia's research bases - Casey.
All our human waste was shipped back to Oz for disposal.
On the base the toilets were pretty standard fare at the "user interface".
When out on jollies the standard of toiletting facility depended much on how you were travelling (heavy or light).
Travelling heavy, in larger vehicles or multiple vehicles, means room for a dedicated toilet tent. When travelling light thing are not so simple.
Many of the destination targets of jollies had a hut for living and something akin to an old fashioned outhouse.
A bucket lined with a plastic waste bag, with a rudimentary seat the usual gear for huts and heavy travels...
