It took us about 8 or 9 hours plus or minus to get from Loon Lake to Rubicon Springs. We did take our time and spotted eachother through the more difficult obstacles. Oh yeah......and we BBQ'd up some lunch during one of our breaks.

It is ALMOST a mandatory item to keep the Rubicon and other trails open around here to prevent water contamination.

It can be purchase at most of the sporting good store like



"The WAG BAG Toilet in a Bag waste kit is a biodegradable double bag system made from puncture resistant materials.

Each waste kit includes a zip close disposal/transport bag, a waste collection bag preloaded wiith Poo Powder waste treatment, toilet paper and a hand sanitizer.

Our non-toxic Poo Powder waste treatment treats up to 32 ounces of liquid and solid waste allowing for multiple use. It turns liquid waste to a solid for hygenic and spillproof transport. The Poo Powder waste treatment controls odors and contains a decay catalyst that breaks down solid waste.

The WAG BAG Toilet in a Bag waste kits are biodegradable and approved for landfill disposal. Designed to be used with ThePETT toilet, they may be used by themselves, in a standard toilet, or an RV or camping toilet."

Got it. Thanks. The W.A.G. is much like a B.O.G. (Bad Odors & Gases) system that I have used on river trips for many years.
