For $60 or so, my Fiamma porta-potti (from JC Whitney) was worth the
money to me over a bagged approach.  With easily available chemicals,
tight seals (no stink), and a fairly low-mess disposal system, it's
great for all those times you can't find a loo or the one available
is filthy (rest areas, campgrounds).  My wife thinks it was one of
the greatest things we bought for camping.
