That's a good question! I got mine from Cal 4 wheel during a trail event and have seen them handed out at the SMUD station just before loon by volunteers.
I'll check in to it tomorrow.

The thought of having a bucket of crap bouncing around in my jeep isn't too appealing. A rock climber friend of mine gave me a good idea though. He suggested building a "poop tube" out of 3 or 4" pvc pipe, sealed at one end with a screw on top at the other. Do your business in a wag bag, and wrap it up in a large ziploc bag with something to get rid of the smell, like "poo powder", and stuff it in the tube and cap it. I was planning on strapping the tube to the spare. How do you guys deal with this crappy problem. Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread.
I guess that's kind of a funny question to ask strangers!

On packing out your waste
I saw that Sportsmans Warehouse in Roseville has the waste bags that should be double lined and have the gel to help keep stuff from getting foul. These should fit the Homer buckets. I did part of the Rubicon last year with a guy that had the double doodie bags with a toilet and tall shower tent that was a real winner with the group, especially the wives.

My wife would have been his #1 fan!

I sent some info requests out, When I hear back I'll post up.
My kit looks like a super heavy duty, oversized zip lock bag with kitty litter in it plus some shop towels for clean up. it doesn't look too complicated.

I'll need to store my jumping jack trailer for the run bc it's the beginning of a 3 week fishing trip in the inter mountain west. Does anyone know of a storage place near the terminus that I can contact?
