What we do in the woods

Possibilities...not as compact though.

Amazon won't ship the Culoclean to Aus, ebay wanted 18 euros to buy and post one, so alas I must invent my own.

I'd think anyone with a 3D printer could make one.

Just invest in a Camelbak jetstream bidon specifically for this purpose e.g. 700ml, fill to the top, ready, aim and fire, and you sure will get a clean *&%$#!!

Hi Lamont, They claim to be compostable and biodegradable. A Canadian product so a better than average chance what they claim is true http://wysiwipe.com/index.html
Might test run one in the compost bin first before heading out with them

Went to dig up the Wysi wipes just now and no sign of them. Although that is 2 months in a compost bin that breaks down quicker than under normal conditions, I can confirm that Wysi wipes are indeed compostable and I guess that means biodegradable as well.

Ta for the update Crolly. Good to know.

There's a bit of misconception around biodegradable products eg. what composts in an aerated compost situation will very likely not do so in a sloppy anaerobic pit toilet. The 'bio-bags' don't seem to degrade very quickly at all. There are some bio-plastics that are intended to break down in a setting without oxygen. It may not be a concern for many reserve toilets as they are pumped or shoveled out to general waste or closed (and I guess eventually the waste dries and everything would 'compost') but just something to keep in mind for anything buried, especially in bog soils.

It's something that could do with some proactive agency testing & info. generally (as well as dragging our P&W from the dark ages).
How do labeling standards relate to the real world use. Which bags (etc) can be buried, which ones are safe for pit toilets or what is considered ok to go in the fifo toilets (corn starch is 'organic matter'). How many people think they are doing the right thing/ how many bags floating around underwater, eons to break down?

I came across a unusual bit of trivia today.
Apparently early americans are down in history for wiping their backsides using corn cobs. And rather effective apparently.
So now I wonder...
Sweet corn is rather healthy and tasty when eaten raw and keeps very well unrefrigerated. So it could be quite the multi-use object. It could be named 'chew & wipe'. Or maybe not. [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
The only thing is the composting time of a corn cob. In landfill it takes something like 18yrs but apparently in compost it only takes 2 months. I wonder would liberal usage be sufficient to expedite the composting time of a cob.
