    Talking The King Sling

    Going to the ground to sleep is bad enough. Using the restroom is worse! I refuse...

    Enter: The King Sling. This is my first go at it. Might make a few additions for even more comfort. But it's pretty badass as is.

    And to eliminate any doubt this thing can do it's job...

    Where's the ridge line toilet paper hanger, or is Dutch making one now?
    Love is blind. Marriage is an eye opener.

    I am contemplating a long hike this summer. This solves my biggest concern. We do tend to pack our fears and I may be adopting this idea.

    Indeed.

    And I genuinely thought I had come up with something new. Oh well. I'm enjoying my outdoor crapper as a nice camp chair too! I sewed a removable backrest for times when nature ISN'T calling

    Here's a couple of pics with the backrest installed
