LOL, I guess nobody [bleep] in the woods any more. Don, remind me never to set up downwind of your tent if you'll be burnin' turd wipes.

I got one of those bucket and crapper seats. I used it a couple of times when no trees were around, etc. I put it in the horse trailer. It's a life saver in a big parking lot with no facilities.
I use special plastic bag liners though that I throw in the garbage when done. ( sealed of course)

This is similar to what we use except our "Montana porta-potty" has additional creature comforts. Aluminum lawn chair webbed seat is removed and a piece of hardboard with hole is fitted on, bucket underneath. The webbed back aids in support as well as the chair arms.

ahhhhhh.....true comfort.


And your buddy don't shoot you on the spot?

Why would he do that? He needs to wait his turn.

Evidently, you don't hunt with biggs300.....

Duh!

We built a portable crapper a couple of years ago. I schitt in the bushes...that thing was GROSS after about 3 days.

Instead of creek water for doing #2 in a bucket try wood shavings you know the kind you use to mop up excrement in a horse trailer. Wood shavings do not splash!

but they fill up the hole so fast.....I hate digging.

and the 'splash' makes clean-up a breeze......

A crescent moon on the door is for the ladies. A radiant sun symbol is for the men.

I have used a 16X20 tent from Western Wall Tents for the past four years and have had no problems. Price is outstanding.
For a shower we used a shower tent from Cabela's along with a battery powered pump and five gallon bucket. Heat the water on your stove or campfire first. Then every few nights go to a town and use a good shower. Baby wipes are also a must.

Last time there was a camp that size, the south was rebelling ;-)

Like lots of room and a big cook tent. Store coolers and other gear. I have an even larger one ,but I am having trouble keeping it warm with the 12' 6" ridge height and 7 ' walls. May have to design one myself as I have a few ideas. I did have a guy sleep walk and start to piss in the corner of the tent until a 4 pound boot found it's mark!!
He Spent the morning cleaning his mess up. Threatened to ratchet strap him in his bag. If he wasn't a great friend he would of be packing up his gear.

The flag's all wrong.......

I was messing around with the camera, so it came out crazy. But the South was there if you look hard enough. This is our 76 year old cook.

Hey huntsman22, didn't mean to be critical of camp showers I've just never hunted out of an elk camp at a trailhead or one that was carried in on motorized vehicles. I'd would have loved to have the availability of a shower on my back-country hunts, but they have just not been available. I certainly know that hygiene is important, but I just have just not ever had the availability of a shower in the drop camps or on the backpack hunts that I have been on.

Surprisingly, large non-scented field wipes and non-scented deodorant, along with merino underwear work well. In my last drop camp we did have a wash basin available and it was a really nice addition. We stay relatively clean, just not with a shower.

The OP mentioned wall tent and shower specifically so I figured he didn't mean back pack or even packing camp back in. However, I could pack my system in sans shower tent pretty easy on a mule along with other stuff.

I'm sure Don took no offense

Saddlesore, sorry, I probably should have re-read the OP's post before responding. I've hunted out of a wall tent on two occasions, just never had a shower.
