when nature calls in the wild outdoors
it’s nice to have a convenient place to
do your business so for this project I’m
going to show you how to make a portable
emergency supply kit that could save
your tush during a natural disaster or
at least provide a little cushioning for
it let’s start this project with a
five-gallon bucket some heavy-duty trash
bags a pool noodle and some ultra soft
toilet paper look closely on the handle
of the bucket you’ll notice that all it
takes to pop it out as a little tug on
the side and while we’re here it’s a
really good idea to bend the tip over
with a pair of pliers because it’ll make
the handle a lot easier to connect again
later on now leave the bucket down on
one side measure around three fingers
from the connector port because we need
to drill a small utility hole and this
spacing should be just about perfect I’m
using a 3/16 inch bit you can see the
hole just barely goes through the top
layer and doesn’t actually penetrate the
wall that’s important now try threading
the open end of the handle through your
toilet paper tube until the roll reaches
the middle then lock the handle back on
the bucket by simply pushing the end
into the new connector port until it
snaps in place just like that we’ve got
ourselves a built in toilet roll holder
for easy access when we need it now the
best way to keep our bucket clean is to
line it with heavy-duty garbage sacks
and I found some step can trash bags the
local Super Center which are a perfect
fit the ones I’m using are around one
and a half feet by two and a half feet
it will hold up to 8 gallons of waste
which will be more than enough to meet
our needs
push the garbage bag down into the
bucket and secure it in place by lining
the top Ridge of the pail the same way
you’d line a garbage can the plastic
liner should make a nice tight fit so
there won’t be much chance it’ll come
off by accident ok let’s move on to
making the seat
I got Norns pool noodle from the dollar
store and cut a piece roughly three feet
long if you’re careful you should be
able to cut a clean slit down one of the
sides as well and just like that you’ve
got a nice foam padding to cushion your
backside which should make your outdoor
experience a little more comfortable
alright the business bucket is just
about done there’s just one small
modification left to make you’ll notice
that when you try to unroll the toilet
paper it rubs on the side of the bucket
and is very frustrating and difficult to
use so to solve this challenge we need
to elevate the handle and I’m going to
do that by drilling another small hole
slightly offset from the center if we
use something like a small bungee cord
to lift the handle and you can see it
suspends the roll away from the bucket
which solves the problem now if you
don’t have a bungee cord don’t sweat it
you can always use an elastic some
or even a wire coat hanger instead at
this point our bucket is completely
finished and ready to do business that’s
how simple and easy it is to make an
emergency porta potti what’s really cool
is that everything can be stored inside
the bucket to keep the whole system
self-contained and odor free but rather
than stopping here let’s take the idea
to the next level with two more buckets
I found a two gallon pail with a lid and
a 5 quart bigmouth bucket at the
hardware store and check this out
they’re waterproof which means we can
fill them up with useful supplies I pack
mine with stuff for hunting camping and
survival situations and if you pack them
well your buckets will hold an
impressive amount of equipment for
example I included a heavy-duty tarp
with some paracord and bungee straps so
we can make a shelter and a bottle of
rubbing alcohol that can be used for
sanitization or makeshift camping fuel I
threw in a knife that’s got a fork and a
spoon built into it and a flashlight so
we’ll be able to use our facilities in
the dark but that’s not all there’s
plenty of room for a small first-aid kit
and some lighters for getting a survival
fire started and just because you can a
pack of medical-grade nitrile gloves for
when it’s time to do the dirty work it’s
truly amazing how much stuff will fit
inside and don’t forget the buckets
themselves are useful as well they’re
waterproof which means you can store
materials when you’re out camping or
hunting and look what happens when you
flip the white bucket over and set the
widemouth bucket on top you’ve just
created a makeshift sink okay it’s time
to demonstrate how the bucket works and
for that let’s use a bit of hazelnut
spread and some apple juice if you look
closely you’ll see how the plastic
lining keeps the waste contained and is
really simple to replace if it ever gets
filled up heavy-duty bags have less
chance of ripping or leaking most trash
bags will be able to hold liquid waste
as well which will help keep the inside
of your bucket clean now speaking of
clean remember to wash your hands
thoroughly with soap and water when
you’re ready to dry them there’s a
little hand towel down there as well if
you want to go the extra mile you may
want to include a small pack of
cleansing wipes or a bottle of
moisturizing hand sanitizer now you may
have noticed earlier that my bundle of
supplies I included a small gardening
trowel and here’s why when you cover
your deposit with a handful of leaves
and sprinkle layer of dirt over top it
forms an odor barrier that keeps your
bucket from smelling bad and attracting
flies and if for some reason you’re in a
situation where you have to use the
bucket indoors there’s still room for an
air freshener in there as well
alright let’s finish up by putting
everything away start by tying off the
garbage bag and sending it away for
disposal you might want to keep in mind
that it’s full of human compost and
there are regulations on where it needs
to be dumped go ahead and load your
supplies back into the 2 gallon bucket
then snap on the watertight lid to keep
it sealed everything goes together if
you drop the bigmouth pail in first
followed by the container of supplies
what you should find fit together
perfectly now simply pop the handle off
so you can remove the toilet paper and
set it inside the bucket and if you put
it in the center you’ll still have a gap
big enough to coil the pool noodle
around and tuck it snugly inside
amazingly there’s still a little room to
spare
finish up with the lid that makes an
airtight seal and you’ve got yourself a
handy little bug out bucket full of
supplies that could save your life in an
emergency since it doesn’t really have a
shelf life it’ll stay water-resistant
and self-contained indefinitely well now
you know how to use a few buckets and
some trash sacks to make a surprisingly
versatile business bucket so the next
time nature gives you a call in the wild
outdoors you’ll have a much more
convenient place to do business well
that’s it for now if you like this
project perhaps you’ll like some of my
others check them out at the king of
random calm hey guys thanks for watching
