Cleanwaste Hike & Camp

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the GO Anywhere Portable Toilet compare to the Toilet in a Tube or Original WAG BAG for different trips?

  GO Anywhere Portable Toilet is a full‑height folding frame that sets up in under 60 seconds and supports up to 500 lbs, making it best for car or base camping and family use; Toilet in a Tube is a waterproof storage cylinder that carries multiple WAG Bag kits for compact, protected transport; Original WAG BAG kits are the lightest, most packable option for ultralight backpacking. All three use the WAG gelling system (NASA‑developed gelling powder) for odor control and safe pack‑out, so choose based on comfort versus portability.
• How do Cleanwaste WAG Bags work and are they safe for pack‑out?

  WAG Bags use a dual‑bag design with an inner bag containing a NASA‑developed gelling powder that neutralizes liquids and odors and turns waste to a solid, plus a heavy‑duty outer seal for leak‑proof containment. Once sealed the kits are landfill‑safe and reduce biohazard risk, though you should always follow local disposal rules and Leave No Trace guidance.
• Which Cleanwaste product is best for ultralight backpacking versus car or family camping?

  For ultralight backpacking, choose Original WAG BAG or Toilet in a Tube for minimal weight and compact stowage; for car, base, or family camping the GO Anywhere Portable Toilet Complete System provides full‑height comfort and stability. Also consider how many kits you need, whether you’ll use a privacy shelter, and the system’s weight capacity when planning for groups or extended trips.
• Can I use Cleanwaste systems in cold or winter conditions and how do they perform?

  Cleanwaste WAG Bag gelling systems work in cold conditions because they don’t require water or active chemicals, and the GO Anywhere frame sets up quickly for winter tent or vehicle use. For very low temperatures, keep kits insulated (inside a pack or vehicle) to avoid the gel becoming overly stiff and follow normal winter sanitation precautions.
