The Honey Bucket uses a crush resistant 5 gallon bucket combined with a carrying handle, toilet seat and lid. This
port-o-potty is the ideal solution to an emergency where you would lose your indoor plumbing. Also great for storing your other emergency supplies until needed. Simply line with a garbage bag (kitchen liner works great), and you are ready to go.
We
strongly suggest looking at purchasing the
PP33A PortaPottie Lid on its own. This saves you a substantial amount in freight, since sending an empty bucket via UPS is expensive.
We first thought of carrying this item for our emergency preparedness kits. Because once the running water goes away, you can't be wasting precious stored water to flush a toilet (if even available)! But what we have found is that folks have other uses in mind.
For instance, camping trips with the kids can be made a little smoother with a camping potty. Another customer was renovating a vacation cabin and was going to have the bathroom out of commission for a few days. This did the trick.
Since we are using what is essentially a standard 5-gallon bucket, you can save on shipping by ordering the
Seat Cover Lid for the portable potty by itself. Add a 5-gallon bucket from the last dry walling or big painting job, and you're good to go. The local home center sells empty buckets as well. That said, the bucket is of relatively heavy gauge for good weight capacity.
When not in use as a potty, the Honey Bucket is a good place to store your emergency supplies for the time when having your ducks in a row becomes important!
