Are the newer biodegradable shopping bags suitable for this purpose, I wonder?davidf wrote:Not the most enviro frieindly option but this works: cheap dry bag, you aren't going to was this again. Plastic shopping bags like you get at coles the handles make $#!+ing into them even with bowel disfunction ok. I picked up on this site the idea of using those kleenex tissue packets, tried, tested, awesome, less bog roll. Bit a kitty litter and tea tree or eucalypst oil in the bogged shopping bag helps. Lighter and more functional and therefore more likely to be used. Up to you to do the enviro economy calcs.

lightweight plastic screw top jars

Another option for avoiding the need for carrying a tube is a pre-trip 1 liter enema.

Well I think that depends on the length of the trip
An enema wouldn't be much use on a 5 week traverse of the AWT
And even the bulk mayonnaise containers [ PET with screw tops] only hold 1.25 litres and are fragile compared to the PVC
