Hello Rock monkeys!

Any of you guys familiar with Modern Outpost in Courtenay? Looking at picking up some new gear for Rubithon, gotta literally pack my own s*** out, ughh!

they are mail order only. thats all I know never ordered from them. the PETT seems really expensive from them. I would try and get one on the way through in the states.

Oh, thought perhaps they had an actual store in Courtenay. I was almost sold on the PETT, but then started pricing out the "complete" system (not the tent tho), that's one expensive s***.

When we did Rubicon, I made a "poochute" out of 4 feet of 4" PVC pipe capped on one end and a threaded plug on the other. It was easy to secure to the rollcage and didn't stink when closed. Just use white pipe to keep the heat of the sun from baking it. It held 4 people's poop for 5 days of wheeling. You can also take a 5 gal pail and a cheap toilet seat to hold bags to poo in. The bucket can also be used to catch fluids if you bust something and need to drain stuff. Cantire also sells a 5gal pail with seat in the camping section. You can also buy PETT bags at the registration for Rubicon.

Cheers-

OK, I've got this image of Stumpy squatting atop a 4' long, 4" diameter, white PVC "poochute" strapped to the rollcage of his 40.

It aint a pretty picture...

yeah, until stumpy's post I totally missed the jist of this thread....

"literally pack my own s*** out" and " one expensive s***" both went right over my head until he got all visual with the tube full of poo thing.

Methinks I'll stick to this part of the world, where you can still wander off into the woods with a small shovel....

Damn fine idea, way more secure than hanging a garbage bag off the ass end (of the truck).
