Blast- Incinerating toilets have been around for a long time-my dad got one for the camp back in the sixties. EPA notes here: http://www.epa.gov/owm/mtb/incinera.pdfThese items are propane fired, and reduce waste to a (foul-smelling) vapor and sterile gray ash. With your expertise in high temperature, high pressure chemistry and natural pyrotechnic ability, I bet that you could create a wood-fired, acetylene-powered or ANFO-based incinerating portable latrine that would forever eliminate your burden of latrine-cleansing duties, warm the tent, light up the sky and scare away the predators, while marking your territory and amusing your daughters. The Blast Commode? The DR Personal Survival Toilet? The Thunder Mug?

The Blast Commode? The DR Personal Survival Toilet? The Thunder Mug? I really like the idea. However, reading through the paper it says it requires ~4.5 hours to burn up the deposited material. You get ten ladies ages 4-notallowedtosay together and see if they all can go that long without needing a toilet. Hmm, then again, none of those incindary toilets used thermite... This requires more thought. -Blast p.s. Obviously it would be called the Thunder Throne!

The neighbors at the camp also got a destoilet. They had 4 pre-teen daughters; the destroilet cycled so ofetn that the wiring melted. how about a carbide cannon-based system that (forgive me) blasts the products at high velocity into the atmosphere, simultanously disposing of the waste, fertilizing the earth, and clearing nearby runways of birds.

Heh!
I expected something involving explosives or incendiaries and thermal power supplies.
Great pics, Blast!

I have a 3 state traveling job and I drive right by the Sportsman Guide warehouse once a week. They have a clearance store attached  . I would really appreciate if you guys would order a lot of cool stuff, open it and then return it so I can buy it for half price. It was a cold rainy day last week, and I was wandering around in there. For the first time(even though tempted by a camo cap I carried around for a while)I left empty handed. Should I seek professional help?

I have a 3 state traveling job and I drive right by the Sportsman Guide warehouse once a week. I am jealous! I get in enough trouble with the Walmart and the local sporting goods chain store. I can only imagine how much stuff I would buy if I could WALK to SG. On Topic: Blast; looks like an awesome trip. I am planning a backyard "camping trip" soon to get my kids warmed to the idea...

I read your blog occasionally (same as I read any blog), and enjoy it quite a bit!
It could use more cat, though.
