And, not surprisingly, it looks better than the average Wrangler camper, coming complete with an oversized bed and interior access hatch.

When picturing a flock of flamingos, we often imagine long pink legs planted in a shallow lake and heads submerged as they filter feed. Though it looks peaceful, there’s a lot going on beneath the surface. These birds are manifesting storms of swirling tornadoes, using their webbed feet and angled L-shaped beak to help them capture prey.

The company calls it the world's first separating/sealing toilet, and it looks like it could be just the ticket to the ultimate off-grid toileting experience.
