If you're carrying a bag / rucksack or similar, you can loop the metal hook through the handle or top strap before locking the door in. Acts as a hanger to keep bag off the floor. It's a game changer, especially in wet years Ah that makes a lot of sense. I pathologically avoid shitting in long drops though so I'm using that as an excuse for the gap in my knowledge!

If you can find one in the right place, a shit in a long drop on a nice day with a decent act on in the background can be quite soothing. Plus, when it's coming it's coming.

One of the best shits I've ever had was to Sigur Ros. It felt like an epic journey in a BBC 2 montage sort of way. I guess I've just been blessed with good timing that I've always been near a compostable toilet when I've needed to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't get the appeal of the compostables. You're basically dropping your anchor into a wheelie bin from a great height but it is somehow seen as better than the longdrops because the person before you has chucked in a cup full of sawdust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 One of the great Glastonbury pleasures is an early morning al-fresco shit in the long drops. Camping in Kidney mead, those traps down near the meeting/information point "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive But to hear the splash was very heaven" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
