Okay, this thing is HILARIOUS! I haven't actually tried to take it out into nature to use yet, but we've been trying to get the gist of it here at home, just to make sure it does what it says. It's HILARIOUS. That's all I can tell you. It's worth buying and bringing it to a party or something to see how many people can figure the dang thing out. I'm sure it works fine! It's sturdy and so far we haven't had any real problems figuring out the straps and such. But it's just so weird... you gotta try it. Best and weirdest camping toilet ever.
