I've been reading a bit in the news of late about these so called 'freedom camping tourists' fouling the place up, and in my eyes, ruining it for real Kiwi's, us.
It won't be long before we get lumped into the same group as we spend a weekend on the beach fishing.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I carry a shovel in my vehicle, and if nature calls, take it with me when I 'take a walk'.
How hard would it be for these 'tourists' to do the same, instead of just leaving excrement on the ground in the bushes? Its just plain lazyness on their part.

I was in Mitre10 the other day and I see they have those porta-potty things at a very reasonable price. I will be investing in one, because even using the method previously described, it does bug me somewhat. We need to be able to prove to the authorities that we are responsible beach users, and please don't lump us into the category of these 'freedom campers'.

Even a bucket with a sealed lid would be preferable to leaving piles of sh#t exposed in the dunes...
