The Pop-Up Pooper has since gone out of production. We found ours on Facebook Marketplace and see them come up often. Alternatively, there are plenty of other lightweight options out there! Happy camping!
I've been looking at the marketted kits and as you've said, the cost of the consumables is ridiculous. Thank you for doing the research and producing this content. Cheer
Thank you for educating me! Able to find what I needed on Amazon’s US site because you went into detail. Appreciate this. Be safe and keep creating excellent content!
I've been looking for an answer to this question for ages! Thank you so much! I've never been camping in my life and this was the last piece of the puzzle for me! You guys rock!
I notice you have the elemental pop up pooper. Thank you for showing everyone how easy it is to use and compact. For those that can't get to a bunnings (my closest is over 100kms away) elemental also do a pack that includes liners ( although they are plastic and not cornstarch) + sachets of the 'poo powder' type product. Most good camping stores should stock them and from memory they were under 2 $20 for them combined. Great heads up on the Nilodour as well, is never thought of that. The other thing to note is that once your 'business' is encapsulated in the gel and inside a plastic type bag you can dispose of it in domestic waste like you would disposable nappies, totally legal and convenient. Keep posting and enjoy your trip.
This is the first most brilliant idea I've seen. Even more brilliant than clumping cat litter--I believe maybe the same substance but more concentrated. This requires less storage space.
Yay. I love the simplicity and practicality of your camping style. So many campers have so much stuff it's ridiculous. For toileting I use a similar system. I use compostabe bags with a little cat litter in it. The recycled paper pellet type cat litter. It absorbs everything and there are no spills.
THANK YOU! Thank you so much for this video. You’re right, this is not talked about. We have a pop up pooper that my partner purchased in 2013 that has hardly been used. We’re now needing to use it and I was struggling to find options. So glad to find this know what we need to do.
Measure a length of pool noodle to fit the circumference of a sturdy bucket. Slit the noodle lengthwise. Line the bucket with the plastic bag, and slot the noodle onto the rim of the bucket. Cheap, comfortable camping toilet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cold fire ash over the contents, kills ALL odours instantly. Australians know how to make the best dunnies! Louise, Australia 🦘
I was researching the hanging shower curtain and found your video on that. I have a truck with a batwing on the passengers side and 200 watts of solar over the cab, I was going to build a shower room like you have, but I think I will just buy one. and the toilet was the next problem, I am going to follow your lead. Thank you for sharing.
You are absolutely right. Its waaaay better than just crapping on the ground and leaving everything there. I would probably bury it onsite if I'm really out in the sticks...or find a tree fork and some paper bark and use a shovel to bury it. But they were the ''olden days''.
Great video. I have just been looking up the safety data sheets to get the chemicals. I got the same result so confident I have it right now. Poo powder also has an enzyme. Was thinking of adding napisan in the mix for the enzyme and fragrance.
I had a ton of leftover diapers after potty training my youngest son. Being that I can’t stand wasting anything I came up with a camping hack🏕 last year I just cut open a diaper and used the waterlocking granules from inside the diapers dumped in double lined bags the bottom of my camp toilet! Cheap compact and they never go bad!👍🏼
Thankyou, I'm searching for hiking camping suitable options that are affordable... I'm thinking adding activated charcoal to this maybe helpful as well. I have looked into "tofu" kitty litter... I've never used it though...i don't have a cat. It's basically an absorbent option made from biodegradable plant based waste .
Oh I love it, have just started camping and don’t want to transport the chemical toilet in my little Jimny, so will get this going. You should sell them as a package and make $ off your invention.
I don’t know why they went out or business but so far they’ve been the smallest and sturdiest collapsible and portable toilet I’ve seen! Nothing in the states comes near (I’ve looked). States has cheap looking and questionable sturdiness. I wish the video showed how it collapsed down to store. I’d love to see if I could make my own
Sodium polyacrylate is non-toxic and safe from any major risks. The data on its safety on environment is not adequate, however it is considered non-biodegradable and may cause salinization of soil when added in large quantities.
Just love this!! Just spent almost $7,000 to turn my new SUV in to a 'no build camper'. This was the missing link... Alas, I searched the internet to buy one.. none available :-( Might have to go to plan B. Shame. (BUT! If anyone can tell me where to buy one, I will jump on it).
Are you in Australia?? If so, they come up on gumtree and marketplace ALL THE TIME. If not, we put links to two alternatives in the description. Send us a pic of your "no build camper" on Instagram? @alex.n.olly it sounds very cool
so Ive researched all the toilets and this is the best BUT nobody has told me where I can dump the bags once we pack up. Can they go into the normal waste bins or are there rules for dumping these bags. I know I just throw my dog poop in just a normal bin.
Hi Jenni, we just put them in our normal bin and with using the crystals and nilodor we never smelt anything. We would empty our bin every few days so it was never on board for long. Cheers!
I don't see their answer. But, here in the US just dispose in trash as you would a dirty babies diaper. Also Horse bedding pellets are an easy way to control the waste.
Hi Irene, the details are in the description. Unfortunately, they don't make it anymore. However, we see them on Facebook marketplace and Gumtree all the time if you're in Australia. If not, there are similar products out there on Amazon and other stores. Best of luck 🤞
We certainly considered it! But, ultimately ruled it out because it was more expensive, not biodegradable and environmentally harmful. This way just worked better for us. Cheers 👍
We just did water for this demonstration. The crystals are activated by liquid. So any moisture from your waste would activate the crystals. No water necessary :) let me know if you have any other questions!
Yeah that is gross. You can definitely put the toilet paper straight in. We linked what we use in the description. Essentially as long as it's biodegradable and doesn't have any scents or dyes. We switch between How We Roll and Wipe That bamboo toilet paper. It's great quality.
I wouldn't recommend leaving it for that long. Sometimes if more than one person needs to go we would use the same bag. But we wouldn't leave it out for more than a couple of hours. I'm not sure about it working in a trailer that's a decision you'd have to make for yourself. Cheers mate.
I like that you make it simple, minimal while considering the cost, can you please type the oil name that you use, I could not catch the name right. And where did you get the bags ? Are they from bunnings? Thanks a lot
Hi Alaa, it's called Nilodor and the bags we get are from compost-a-pak. Links are in the description if you need them. Let me know if you have any other questions!
The website doesn't state a specific amount of time. Only that they break down in compost. This is only one product in particular. Let us know if you find something you like better!
Hey Matt, we popped this in the description but are aware not everyone reads it. It's since gone out of production. We got ours second hand on Facebook marketplace and have seen them come up from time to time. They are out there but there are plenty of other lightweight options too. Cheers!
@alexolly thanks for your reply..already bought the water storage crystals and will use ir tips regardless of what portable toilet I end up getting..thanks..
Hi Leonie, as we said in the video description the pop up pooper is no longer in production. We got ours on Facebook Marketplace for $15. If that's something you're interested in you could definitely get a deal. Otherwise there is two similar options listed in the description. It's certainly a shame they discontinued them, because they are great!
From the research we have done it is considered "ground acceptable". It is used to hold water in soil for landscaping etc.. it has a breakdown rate of .24 every six months. If you have any other questions feel free to ask 👌
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately that wouldn't work for us as we wouldn't be able to fit a non collapsible bucket in our car. Everything has to pack down small to fit into the back of the patrol. That would work for people who have more space. Thanks for stopping by camper 👌
There's a more environmentally friendly solution. For people who go hiking, or cycling, or kayaking, etc. (1) You dig a hole in the ground, at least 30 centimeters deep and 50 meters away from any water body, like creeks, rivers, sea, etc. (2) You do your business #1 and #2 into the hole, you can only put toilet paper in there too, but tampons, diapers, etc do not go into the hole, it must go in a special bag for proper disposal later. Cover the hole with the same soil you removed. (3) mark the place with a wood skewer or a stick. Just replace the bucket for a gardening trowel. Nature will take care of the skewer, the paper and your natural disposals. The things that got bagged might be disposed when you get home, or in any toilet facility at a gas station or restaurant.
Why go to all the trouble with the environmently friendly bag, if you are putting that plastic soup powder in there.. 😂 Just use kitty litter or wood pellets, or shavings, and then you don't need to add the scent either.. 😊
You fundamentally don't understand the product. It's not plastic, its a biodegradable salt. Kitty litter contains a very similar product, and contains artificial scent also. We travelled on this trip for 10 weeks, so carrying that much Kitty litter, pellets or shavings would be extremely impractical and expensive. We were in very remote areas, so we could bring 10 weeks worth of crystals and it wouldn't take up much space. Water storage crystals are much more compact, cheaper, more convenient and more environmentally friendly.

Best toilet solution I've seen (I've looked at a lot)! Added bonus ...Aussie video, on where to get products in oz. 👍
Cheers Christine! You're a legend

Nice one! Thanks Rachel!
so convenient. You guys make camping so easy and comfortable.

Great job guys....we already have a jimmy thunder box...might add a collapsible bucket and go your way!!!

LOVE THIS! We also hate meaningless waste so hearing these gems make our day. You're a legend
Thank you .
I reckon that’s a great solution !!
Cheers mate!
Thanks 🙏
Other ways to deal with PEE & POO are
saw dust, cedar chips & CAT 🐱 Liter.
When worst comes to worst, DIRT WORKS!
Unscented cat litter works great. I ask everyone if they smell my cat box and since unscented no cat smell.
Thanks for putting this information out there!
Finally someone actually explaining how to use them I mean they seem self explanatory but yea lol
TH-cam bringing us the how-to's we didn't know we needed!
Thankyou, I'm searching for hiking camping suitable options that are affordable... I'm thinking adding activated charcoal to this maybe helpful as well.
I have looked into "tofu" kitty litter... I've never used it though...i don't have a cat.

Oh I love it, have just started camping and don’t want to transport the chemical toilet in my little Jimny, so will get this going. You should sell them as a package and make $ off your invention.
Thanks Peter! Enjoy camping! A Jimny is a wicked little car for camping 🏕️
Solved my problem. Thank you
You're welcome. Cheers for dropping a comment!

That's great. Thanks.
Thanks for the hacks. Wondering if bicarbonate of soda would be useful as well.
Interesting idea. Let us know if it's works?? 👌
Great idea👍. Cheers
I made a home made camping toilet. toilet.i used kitty litter a natural compostela one.
I'll share a link I'd you like
Thanks for submitting this video. I'll be getting one of these for when I go overlanding. Just one question, where do you dispose of the waste?
So each time we go to the toilet we put it straight into our normal bin. We empty our bin every two days at skips or roadside stops etc
I don't see their answer. But, here in the US just dispose in trash as you would a dirty babies diaper. Also Horse bedding pellets are an easy way to control the waste.
Where can you buy the pop up pooper please, I could not find the answer on from the video or comments.
Hi Irene, the details are in the description. Unfortunately, they don't make it anymore. However, we see them on Facebook marketplace and Gumtree all the time if you're in Australia. If not, there are similar products out there on Amazon and other stores.
Best of luck 🤞
Could you have used a silica cat litter?
We certainly considered it! But, ultimately ruled it out because it was more expensive, not biodegradable and environmentally harmful. This way just worked better for us. Cheers 👍
I like your system but I have a question. Do you add water into the bag before you do #1 and #2? What is the purpose of adding water?
We just did water for this demonstration. The crystals are activated by liquid. So any moisture from your waste would activate the crystals. No water necessary :) let me know if you have any other questions!

Finding it difficult to buy the pop up pooper..
Hey Matt, we popped this in the description but are aware not everyone reads it. It's since gone out of production. We got ours second hand on Facebook marketplace and have seen them come up from time to time. They are out there but there are plenty of other lightweight options too. Cheers!
@alexolly thanks for your reply..already bought the water storage crystals and will use ir tips regardless of what portable toilet I end up getting..thanks..
Really informative
Thank you!!
Could you please give me Australian suppliers of Popup pooper. Thankyou
Hi Leonie, as we said in the video description the pop up pooper is no longer in production.
We got ours on Facebook Marketplace for $15. If that's something you're interested in you could definitely get a deal.
Otherwise there is two similar options listed in the description.
It's certainly a shame they discontinued them, because they are great!
Is the water lock ground safe?
From the research we have done it is considered "ground acceptable". It is used to hold water in soil for landscaping etc.. it has a breakdown rate of .24 every six months.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask 👌
Just use a 5 gallon bucket with a pool floot on the rim. Put your bags in it. Get some cheaper biodegradable kitchen garbage bags.
Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately that wouldn't work for us as we wouldn't be able to fit a non collapsible bucket in our car. Everything has to pack down small to fit into the back of the patrol. That would work for people who have more space. Thanks for stopping by camper 👌
Only in Australia would they call it a poop bag.
We're a special bunch of people here.. limited by nothing
There's a more environmentally friendly solution. For people who go hiking, or cycling, or kayaking, etc. (1) You dig a hole in the ground, at least 30 centimeters deep and 50 meters away from any water body, like creeks, rivers, sea, etc. (2) You do your business #1 and #2 into the hole, you can only put toilet paper in there too, but tampons, diapers, etc do not go into the hole, it must go in a special bag for proper disposal later.
