The time for the new ATC is getting closer, and I need to add a Porta Potti for the Boss of Me. It doesn’t need to be fancy, just functional and reliable.
Any recommendations?

Around here somewhere is a tattered paperback, a collection of "Groover" stories on raft trips. From memory, there was one entitled "The Day the Mormon Swore." It was one of those stories that was hard to read because I was shaking with laughter, couldn't get my breath, and tears running down my face. It had to do with a swollen container. Mr. Graves, you got off easy.DavidGraves said:Back in our small boat sailing days I devised a loo essentially a three gallon bucket with chemicals and tight fitting lid that nestled in its place at the stern.
We trailered the boat and often ranged around the hot humid mid Atlantic area for three/four day sailing weekends.
Once at trips' end the container had greatly swelled ......I chose the easy way out and drilled a 1/8 inch hold in the lid.....in the back yard.
I'll bet those "groover" stories are a scream. I'd never heard the term until embarking on a 5-day float down the Grand River (aka the Colorado River) in June 1994. One of the 3 ladies among the 21 "sports" (paying passengers) complained mildly about the bathroom facilities upon finding out that it was an open air arrangement involving large Nalgene tanks with nice toilet seats, lids, etc. One of the 5 guides, a comedy troupe if there ever was one, muttered "Then you would have really hated the groovers". I think the groovers had then only recently been retired in favor of the nalgene tanks.ski3pin said:Around here somewhere is a tattered paperback, a collection of "Groover" stories on raft trips.
