PACT Lite Bathroom Kit — Ultralight Backcountry Toilet Kit for Camping & Backpacking

Meet the PACT Lite Bathroom Kit

When you’re miles from a restroom, a compact, featherweight solution matters. The PACT Lite Bathroom Kit delivers a complete, backcountry ready approach to waste management that respects the landscape and your pace. Recognized as a 2022 Outside Gear Guide Best Backpacking Accessory and a winner of the 2022 Outdoor Retailer Innovation Award, this kit is built for hikers, paddlers, ultrarunners, bikepackers, campers, and anglers who value efficiency, simplicity, and a lighter footprint.

What’s inside

• Ergonomic, ultralight shovel with a built in storage compartment (closed dimensions: 8.5 inches long by 1.75 inches wide; stocked weight around 4 oz).
• 60 PACT mycelium tabs in a heat sealable pouch.
• 20 compressed, plant based wipes in a resealable pouch, enough for about 20 trips.

How it works

The shovel carries a week’s worth of wipes and tabs in its handle, making it easy to transport. To use: dig a small hole, drop in three mycelium tabs with your wipe, fill, and cover with dirt. Nature does the rest. This approach is designed to be lightweight and efficient for backcountry routines.

• PACT Tabs speed up decomposition and may help limit pathogen presence near wildlife and waterways.
• The wipes compress to the size of a bottle cap and unfold into a 9 inch moist towelette when water is added, aiding the cleanup and the recycling of waste within the soil system.
• Using three tabs per hole is a practical guideline to help optimize the process on the trail.

Key benefits for adventurers

• Ultralight, compact kit ideal for multi day trips without adding bulk.
• Environmentally minded design that supports soil health through faster decomposition and reduced landscape impact.
• Simple workflow from digging to covering no facilities required.
• Plant based components and mycelium tabs free of additives and forever chemicals.
• Percent decomposition data: wipes decompose substantially and tabs contribute to faster soil integration.

Details to note: The wipe is the size of a bottle cap when compressed and becomes a 9 inch moist towelette with water. The combination of wipes and tabs can accelerate the breakdown of waste and help integrate it back into the soil ecosystem.

Real world use cases

Ideal for long hikes, canoe and kayak trips, ultramarathons, bikepacking, and remote fishing excursions where bathroom facilities aren’t guaranteed. The kit’s light footprint and straightforward workflow help you stay mobile and prepared for backcountry conditions.
