Flat pack + cardboard furniture + outhouse = Shit Box

By Carl Alviani - August 5, 2008

For carrying such a provocative (to some) name, the Shit Box is actually a pretty clever idea. There have been plenty of examples of cardboard furniture popping up in the last few years, but this may be the most appropriate use of the material we've seen in a while: it ships flat for easy portability, maintains enough structural integrity for repeat uses, and recycles at the end of its useful life, making it simpler, cheaper and less icky-seeming than existing semi-permanent options on the market. Built by the similarly cheeky-sounding Brown Corporation, ships with ten "poo bags," and "doubles as a handy stool."

We've had these in the Norwegian army for years. We used to call them "Baesj-and-Carry" (Pronounced like "Cash-and-Carry"), which translates to Shit-and-Carry. Always a hassle to move if they had been standing in the rain too long... Also, the removable plastic bag would sometimes break during transport :-(
