Nice! The problems of odor and spillage come to mind. I bought a seat from emergency essentials. It has a lid which seals tight. The noodle looks much more comfortable though.

the TP roll on the handle is clever!
kitty litter and wood ash work as a flush.

I made a simmiliar one from a 5 gallon bucket, But used a "Portable Loo" 5 gallon bucket cover toilet seat from REI, kitchen trash bags, TP, hand sanitizer, trowel and dust mask, and lime to control the stench. Just be sure to use a dust mask when working with the lime. The stuff is very alkaline, very fine, and chest X-rays are expensive (This year's dumb*** moment).

This idea has been around for a long time in various forms.

Haha! Great idea for a short duration, but I wonder how one would keep the "cushion" sanitary for a prolonged situation? (Buy extra noodles, I suppose?)

A milk crate version could be another option: http://www.rootsimple.com/2009/07/humanure-dry-toilet-made-from-a-milk-crate/

You can get a bucket toilet seat with lid on Amazon for as little as $10. If you already have a pool noodle then that would be cheaper, but if you have to buy one they are almost as much as the toilet seat ($8.99 on Amazon).
