At Kiwi Camping, we get a LOT of camping stories… but this one might take the crown 🚽
"We took our trusty porta toilet away camping. On pack-up day, it was left in a shed to “sort out later,” which of course meant it was absolutely forgotten. Days later, we realised a friend was still at the campsite. I very clearly instructed him not to clean it out. Under no circumstances. Guess what he did? Cleaned it out! (Hero complex, I assume… nah, jokes — actually, no friend should have to see another friend’s poo. What a good guy! Also probably scarred for life.) He then strapped it to his already horrifically overfilled trailer to bring home. Somewhere between there and here, the seat lid decided it had had enough of this friendship group and launched itself into the wild. So now we have a perfectly functional bottom half… and nothing to sit on except regret. Before we retire our loyal little throne over what is essentially a dramatic lid exit, can we please purchase just a replacement seat lid? I promise to supervise it more responsibly next time. Yours poo-ly"
Sad endings aren’t our style — the base unit is retired, and a brand-new throne is on the way. Fingers crossed for fewer lid escapes! 🏕️💛
As Millie’s story proves… s**t happens. A huge thank you to Millie for allowing us to share this story!
