What is a groover?
A groover is an enclosed tube that you can make to put your poop in while on multiday river trips. Most of the time these types are used by kayakers as they are smaller and more compact. You can build your groover to fit whatever kayak you want to use it with. Be sure to read river regulations, some have certain size requirements based on the number of days your trip is. So read up on that section before building your groover if you already have a certain river in mind. I use Wag Bags inside mine so I can reuse it for multiple trips. You just through the bags out at the end and you have a clean tube (aside any random disasters).
What do I need?
TOP: 3" PVC pipe cut to fit your kayak (you can use larger piping and the white kind instead, just match up your types and sizes so things work together)
For this trip I made a 16.5 inch groover tube for a Pyranha Machno Small. This will fit directly behind my seat.
You will need a hack saw or PVC saw.
L >R: 3" ABS female adapter, 3" ABS clean out plug, clamp, 3"ABS cap hub
You will also need cement glue.
Glue to the bottom of the cap to get the edges well! Press end of tube into cap firmly.
Don't glue the threads! Press onto opposite end of tube firmly. Let dry!
Groover cap with removable handle.
Here's some groover confessions for you from the Grand Canyon.....
