Hello all. In my perusing of this site, I have seen lot's of references to the PETT toilet system. As a commercial whitewater raft guide, I have another suggestion to throw out there for toilet solutions: The Eco-Safe toilet. It is based out of a 20mm rocket box (removable polythylene liner in box) and includes a full size seat. They also have attachments for using a RV dump to empty. Very clean and leak proof and designed to handle abuse.
I have spent days (on multi-day river expeditions) with more than one full groover box strapped in right next to me with no concerns.
I am intimately familiar with the use of these toilets, so if feel free to ask any questions.
The PETT definitely works, but if I was going to be lugging around the contents of a groover with me for days/weeks before disposal, the Eco-Safe is the only toilet I would consider.
One final note, there are many things designed for river expeditions that crossover very well to overland (Partner Steel stove is an example - a stove designed for expedition river use that works well for overland use too). In your searching for gear/ideas, make sure to check out some of the larger river based equipment suppliers as well.
