I'm not a diver. I am a camper who does semi rough camping. I'm considering saving some wide mouth bottles for those trips to empty/ wash my bags out into. Maybe gatorade bottles or something else.

I saw an ostomy bag seal for use with closed end bags. http://www.ostosolutions.com/Articles.asp?ID=250

Great article. Ready to go deep😎

I would considered a Mason Jar but too heavy  to carry. Thanks for suggestion

One idea that could work (I've done this) is to bring bags (like "kitchen catcher" types) that can be hung from your waist and then empty into that.  You can tie off the top and dispose of them when convenient. 

Note: This will not work well if you have liquid output, so I'd suggest using a gelling product if that's the case.

Alternatively, if you want to replace your entire bag when full, the Ostosolution seals are a great option, along with something like these: https://www.veganostomy.ca/attiva-seal-n-toss-review/

For the above "seal-n-toss" bags, you might even be able to get away with a similar product for dog crap. LOL Just make sure it's odor proof and sealable. 

Hi Dave,

I am not a deep diver, just snorkeling and body surfing.

One thing that has helped is, If you can find a wetsuit that has a front zipper it is really both easier to get on & off and MUCH easier the 'check' your bag ( for gas or just to see if you are near a leak yet).

After salt water swim 9 or a pool) I use a blow dryer to dry everything really well. ( careful with high heat..you can melt the plastic.... I did!) ). But use of a towel & the dryer  helps.

Also remember cabin pressure in an airplane is NOT same as sea level. Its like you are 5 thousand feet or something. SO your bag will react.. the gas will expand as you climb higher, so you may have to release gas. Elastic wait pants are a help ( give up on style right now.. HA). Good luck and happy trails to you.  Just being alive is COOL!

Correction:  usual cabin pressure in commercial aircraft is 8000 feet. SO its like you were on top of an 8000 mountain. Unless you are in the new Boing Dreamliner.. they keep that one at a more comfortable 6000 ft.  So your bag , or rather the gas in the bag will react to that.

Thanks Dona

I too have melted a bag with hair dryer.  This past year has been a learning experience.
