    Back in the day when I was at a customer taking forever to unload and wouldn't let me use a restroom i would simply unload myself on their lot.

    Nobody ever caught me if they did I'd say that's what happens when you take forever to unload and don't let me use a restroom!

    @Ridgeline I love it when I see your soft side come out. I get it, sometimes it happens.

    I've watched a ton of videos about off-grid cabins and tiny homes. NOT mixing the #1 and #2 will greatly simplify dealing with them afterwards. Instead of throwing your P bottle along the side of the road or on customer property, pour it in the toilet at your next shower. Throw away your empty in the trash. There is an emergency way to shower, use the bathroom, cook/eat, and many other things. The key to what works is you examine when and how YOU do those things and then you use the gear that makes sense in your situation. Get the gear that works, not just look around in a panic at the last second and try to make an empty bag of M&Ms or a styrofoam coffee cup work with no planning.

    You can buy a $100 camping toilet or you can buy things you eat or drink that already come in containers that work well for their emergency use. It doesn't HAVE to cost money and you don't HAVE to only use some gizmo someone else made and sells in a truck stop. If I was going to use a P-bottle it may be better to use a container that is easy to bring in your shower bag rather than something that you can use INSTEAD of a toilet for the next week or month. Don't just declare I would never find myself in that situation or you will certainly find yourself in that situation, but without any planning and no gear.

    If you can use a gatorade bottle to drop ship you're a better aim than me.
