A Camping Gift that’s a load of cr*p
Posted by Guest Author on October 21st, 2009
What gift do you get the camping nut or festival freak of a man in your life? Anywhere remotely, well, remote will probably have a lack of toilet facilities. If you’re at a festival, the issue might be that the person-to-toilet ratio is unhygienically high, so you might not want to use a public toilet. That’s where the Sh*t Box comes in. It’s essentially a reinforced cardboard box that’s been cut into a mini portable toilet.
You line the box with a special biodegradable liner, do your thing, tie up the bag and bury it. The bag and your waste will then biodegrade naturally without any negative impact on the environment. The box is collapsible to save space, but for heaven’s sake, please take out the used bag inside first! When folded out for use, the box measures 35cm (H) x 35cm(W) x 35cm(D), and can comfortably bear the weight of a 16 stone bloke.
If you think that having a cardboard box with Sh*t Box on the site is a little too offensive, the box also comes in a quaint blue “Little Jack’s Box for boys” or a “Ploo” box. If the receiver of the gift has a sense of humour, he’ll probably appreciate the Sh*t Box a little more, as it’s bound to cause a few laughs with his mates! Prices start at £14.99 for the child poo box, and £15.99 for the adult version.
