TC humor on the receiver hitch

I don't know how long this will last, butt,
We have a lot of folks on here who are into minimalist truck camping. They (and I have been in the past) weigh every aspect, literally of what we put on the back of the truck. I used to scrape the labels off wine bottles and pull and cut the cork in half to save weight. Everything must have multiple uses. Oh, to have a full, if tiny wet bath or tough it out with a cassette and sun shower bag. Maybe even no cassette. We have a bivvy tent we erect when way out there to use the outdoor shower, outside with the wand thru a slot, in-essence, pop tent bivvy. No floor. No windows. Three walls and a door flap.
While Jeeping the Rubicon a few years ago, all were impacted by the solid waste of the campers along the way. It has gotten way out of hand. So we put together a Rubicon survival biffy: an unmarked, one gallon paint can we casually call the ass-can. Here is a pic of my bro John, son Matt and me holding our half-full solid waste containers somewhere on the Rubicon:

Well, i found yet another product to maximize the TC experience: The Off-Road Commode. I have no connection at all with this product, butt it does offer us minimalists one more option.
special regards, as always, jefe

  • Don't forget to put the lid down.

    On jobsites in a fix, we've used a 5 gallon bucket a heavy gauge trash bag and kitty litter then just toss in garbage.
  • Boy Scouts are the extreme example of being minimalist campers and leave no footprints behind traveling through Philmont Ranch in NM.
    It may of been the times or place, but I learned more about camping and survival with 9 years of scouting than I did in over 20 years of active duty service in the Army.

    I have seen those before when I use to hunt but I normally just found a log.
