A chamber pot worked for gramma. it can work in the hamshack. A 5 gallon
bucket is too big but handy for sitting on when needed. Big sporting
goods stores carry a seat to fit the top of the 5 gallon bucket for
those occasions. Put the lid back on after use to hold in the smell and
dump the contents when the XYL is awake. Rinse and store for the next
use. For purely liquid applications, a gallon milk jug with the top cut
out works for me while dry camping.
