Yours will do the job.

while. Baja is 98% uninhabited so a shovel would be key. |
In the desert along the road the visual contamination with toilet paper is more apparent that the actual "stuff". The stuff will dry out soon but the
TP will be flying around for a year. Also, broken bottles. Why people do this, is hard to understand.

23S52N, On April 4 we drove from Asuncion to Calexico in 9 1/2 hr with fuel in Vizcaino and Gonzaga Bay and a lunch stop. Took the East entry and was
car #3 in line, Sunday 4PM PDT. From San Ignacio it would be less time.

There are lots of s-eating critters out there willing to dig up your deposit if they can. When possible, it is good to put a large rock on top the
burial site.
What a gross turn this has taken! 
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Nice in theory but the burning part doesn't work well. First, TP is wet after use, and second, it may fly away before you make a bonfire. Need to
collect it doggie bag.

For jeep camping in the Sierras we have a five gallon with some sort of specialized bag that seals up. We put the sealed in the trash carrier that
hangs outside the back of the jeep. Works great.

This.

Toilet seat that fits on 5 gallon bucket. t.p. goes in a cardboard Tecate 12 pack box. At the end of the trip the watery waste goes in the nearest
outhouse or a deep hole, burn the paper and the box.
Much more comfortable than squatting in the dirt, no bags involved, surprisingly sanitary, although you have to rinse out the bucket so the checkpoint
guys do not get an unpleasant surprise.
