Hey Bill,
Here's what they did in old outhouses.
In the outhouse, you'd find a box or bag of fireplace ash, with a cup in it.
After doing your thing, one would scoop a small amount of ash down the hole
to keep the smell down.
I tried this in my uncles old mining claim outhouse and it worked quite
well.
I admit, I had to ask my uncle what the ash was for in the outhouse the
first time.
The price is right, especially if you have a camp fire.

Many of the rafting supply stores sell a product call Knockout that is
made for this purpose. It is a liquid and you put in a very small
amount. It is a concentrated deodorant, and has worked pretty well on
our week long trips. It is fairly expensive, but lasts a long time
since you only use a little splash at a time.


Found it, thanks. NRS used to sell it but apparently gave up doing so.

The Odorlos is less expensive, and a dry powder (liquids are difficult
to carry on kayak trips) so I'm going to try it out on our next trip.
