So...
We are off to the Berger soon, and will be setting up the usual communal camp. The sticky subject of the camp toilet has been discussed; I guess it's not required (and could be left up to individual people to sort out) but it's probably more convenient to set something up for the 8/9 days we might be there. I'm told on a previous trip the club actually brought a toilet seat to Camp 1 for greater comfort, but I'm too lazy to do that!
I have a variety of Daren drum sizes (half size, standard size, and the next two sizes up). I'm assuming a suitable large Daren drum makes an adequate seat, and that a bag (or maybe two bags) can be placed into the drum to collect the various deposits (as it were). I have even considered lining the edge of the Daren drum with pipe insulation for greater comfort...
Presumably you then tie up the bag (after each use?) and place into a smaller Daren drum, with other similar bags, for removal from the cave. I have heard warnings that you should ensure you don't fill up the drum so much you can't get stuff out, and that you may have gas buildup in the bags...
Any other helpful info/suggestions etc?
