Any of you ever use a Wag Bag? How do they work out? Where is the cheapest
place to purchase? What about the Pooh-Powder?

This sounds like a good plan for boats without heads who want to do the
responsible thing.

============



....................................We have no installed head due to our
dislike
of holding tanks, so we have made an enclosure with seat and lid for
a bucket and have come up with solutions that we feel work well.
Offshore, we use the bucket-and-chuck- it system. Near shore or in
enclosed anchorages, we use Wag Bags in the bucket. These fully
biodegradable bags-familiar to dog and cat owners-contain special
powder (called Pooh-Powder) that turns urine into a gel and
deodorizes the waste. The special enzymes in the gel also kill
bacteria and promote the breakdown of waste and bags. After using the
bag (one bag can be used five or six times), we simply seal it into
the separate biodegradable pouch supplied with each kit. Then it can
be deposited in the trash for disposal at landfills. ................ the
waste
product is allowed to break down in compost heaps; within four
months, the compost can be used safely for gardening. They also are
used for emergency waste management, such as during the aftermath of
Hurricane Katrina, when more than a million of the bags were used in
the area around New Orleans. ....................................
