Hello, lantana-ga! Oh boy (no pun intended) do I remember those many years of travelling with little kids. I wasnt as smart as you, though. I never even thought of such a product and solution until I read your question. What a great parent you are!!! And, I have found the perfect answer for you!!!! InnerMountain Outfitters offers a product called Restop, originally designed for cavers, because when nature calls, you have to answer! Here's how it works: Using a scientifically formulated blend of polymers and enzymes in specially designed plastic bags, human waste is first contained and then converted into environmentally friendly waste. The polymers gel upon contact with liquid, safely containing the waste, and the enzymes begin to consume the waste products. When there is nothing left for the enzymes to feed on, they consume themselves, leaving basic salts and water. The result is an environmentally friendly and sanitary bag that can be disposed of in any trash container. The product costs $7.00 and contains four disposable urine bags. Each bag contains superabsorbant polymers which will hold up to 20 ounces of urine. The wide opening has a semi-rigid rim (so the target cannot easily be missed!), a one-way valve to prevent spills, and deodorant to eliminate odors. The good news is, they have a similar product for solid waste ..just in case you encounter that problem as well! You never know when theyll have to go! The InnerMountain website is at http://www.caves.org/imo/emergency.htm. Since their catalog link wasnt working when I tried, and it is a home-based business, you may have to go to their contact page at http://www.caves.org/imo/findus.htm and give them a call. Their phone number is 540-377-2690. Enjoy your four boys! And happy travelling! umiat-ga Google Search Strategy +neutralize +human +urine |

There is a book that contains a lot of information on this sort of problem, called "How to s**t in the woods" (except it doesn't have asterisks. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0898153204/qid=1031392015/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/102-4775348-8510550?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 It is a serious book, discussing a serious problem. The problem that you describe is in the chapter called "Pack and Go". (It's also quite funny in places. jeremymiles-ga |

The Restop products (one for urine and one for excrement) are sold by Magellan's Travel Supplies - http://www.magellans.com/ I've ordered from Magellan's before, and find them not only pleasant to do business with but they have products hard to find elsewhere! They have other "bathroom" related items useful for travellers. |

give it to you. While reading umiat's answer I thought $7.00 for coverage for the 4 kids wouldn't be bad. I also thought kitty litter... (the scoopable kind in my cats litter box) in a one gallon milk jug would work too. And for those of you that need some 20/20 hindsite help there is a product that attaches to you bumper approriately called the... bumper dumper. As long as I am making fun I just as well share my bumper sticker for all those drivers that thing they are Number One. { You Think You Are Number One But You Drive Like a Number Two ) And as usual SGT. Shultz knows.... Nuthing! |
