Shit Box
Cardboard Crapper

"Poos. We all do them (except Her Maj, of course). The trouble is, dropping Mr Brown and the kids off at the pool is nigh on impossible when you’re enjoying the great outdoors. Yes, you can make like a bear and shit in the woods, but curling a log straight onto the ground feels a bit, well, dirty.

Enter, with a snigger, a nudge and a somewhat aghast face, the Shit Box. As you can see, this charmingly named creation is a lightweight portable cardboard toilet, made specifically for outdoor use. Available in two sizes, the 14” original and a smaller ‘Little Jack’ version for nippers, it’s ideal for festival fans, campers, Portaloo-less builders, fishermen and kids caught short on long journeys.

Flat-packed, the Shit Box pops open to become a rigid but comfy loo into which you can drop your fudge, again and again, without making a mess or gassing everyone within a 5 mile radius. That’s because it comes with 10 biodegradable poo bags. Genius! Simply pop one inside, lay your cable, remove the whole shebang, tie up the bag and shove it in your best mate’s sleeping bag… sorry, we mean dispose of it responsibly.

Yes, we suppose you could hunt down the nearest fast food emporium for a quick McShit with lies but, as well as being unethical, it’s probably not as hygienic. Besides, ejecting a bum cigar in a restaurant is fraught with danger: no loo roll, weak flush, pebble-dashed bowl. You know the score. Plus the Shit Box doubles up as handy stool (forgive the pun) and comes in a rather fetching shoulder bag for easy portability.

Okay, so squatting on a cardboard box isn’t the most luxurious way to lose your Bungle’s fingers, but it certainly does the job when you’re touching cloth in the middle of nowhere. To use the vernacular of today’s festival goer, we think it’s the shit. By the way, if you think we’re trying to shoehorn in as many pooey euphemisms as possible, you’d be right. But when a product is this brilliant, nothing we say is going to make a difference. We’d give it ten minutes if we were you…

Four different versions available!"

"For all you hikers, campers and other outdoor adventurers comes perhaps the most useful piece of gear ever – the $hit Box, aka the Cardboard Crapper.

The Cardboard Crapper is just what you guessed – an environmentally friendly porta-potty for those times when even a rest stop is out of the question. All you have to do is pop up the box, unfold it, and insert a biodegradable poo bag to get up and running.

The charmingly named creation is made specifically for outdoor use and ideal for festival fans, campers, Portaloo-less builders, fisherman and anyone caught short on long journeys.

So, the next time you go camping and don’t want to squat in the bushes, you’ll be forever grateful for this not exactly hi-tech invention. Available in two sizes, the 14” original and a smaller ‘Little Jack’ version that comes pink for girls and a blue for boys. (about $23 USD).

Pretty smart!"

Shit Box, Portable Toilet
It’s a lightweight cardboard box that uses reusable bags. It’s foldable, incredibly sturdy, and, even though it’s a take away toilet, it’s actually very cute

"Although it’s only recently been available on the market, the idea behind Shit Box was born 20 years ago. Its inventor, Richard Wharton, who went on to found The Brown Corporation, was in his tent at the Glastonbury Festival. He urgently needed to use the toilet, but he immediately wrote off the idea of using the festival’s public toilets due to the terrible condition they were in. Then he noticed a box of Kleenex sitting in his tent and he thought that if only that box were a bit bigger and sturdier, he could put a plastic bag inside and he’d have his own private toilet inside the tent. From that point on, it’s taken 50 prototypes to hit on the perfect portable WC (the one you see in the photo).

It is a very lightweight, transportable WC made of super-sturdy cardboard and it’s specially designed for outdoor use (for picnics, festivals, camping trips). The box folds away, which makes it easy to transport, and each box comes with 10 plastic "poo bags".

While it’s surprising enough that someone’s actually invented a box that substitutes for the WC, what’s really amazing is that anyone would work so hard on its design. It’s so pretty you won’t want to ruin it. It’s even got a mascot! His name’s Little Jack, and if no one told you who he was or what he did, he could easily pass for a dainty little smiley character."

Happy Earth Day!
