I use the carplife bivvy loo,it's not cheap but is really well made and packs away nicely.I think Wolf International are releasing one that looks very good too

Disposa John camping toilet bog bags very good after you've found a toilet.
Bucket all day long if there is loos on site close enough to use when needed I will use them but a bucket and a bag is used when it's really needed I can't see point in buying a bloody bucket with a seat when you got your old faithful bucket without a seat. Plus use it as a deco people will only look once in your “bait bucket” to see what your smashing the lake up with 😂😂😂

One I cheat, the local shop in the village has a toilet which I prefer to use.
If I do get caught out it's in bucket.

I don't fish venues where you can see what the next man's doing bivvys in line's, I'm very lucky in that aspect so I have a foldable spade but I always have a bucket too just incase there isn't a convenient place, of all the venues I'm a member off there's only one with a portaloo 99% are surrounded by woodland and there's only one otter fenced and I don't fish weekend's

Went shopping yesterday (and finally bought a SP C-Tech Low chair for my ageing back) and saw one of the carp life loos in the flesh . . . looks comfy (albeit a tad low for me) and packs down well but is silly heavy for what it is - my 25yr old camo taped 10l bucket (with pipe lagging) is a far superior solution IMO - takes the Tesco 10l biodegradable bags and a large pack of baby wipes perfectly plus it has space to carry spare gas / other items . . .and its not £60
We have a couple of eco loos at my main venue but I rarely if ever use these as my ablutions are always at day break which is bite time . . .

Behind a tree for me.
I'm from up north. If I took the bucket with me, where would the wife and kids do a poo while I was fishing?

Bucket for me, and when I get home, just open man hole cover to sewer in garden and tip it in, wash bucket out with hosepipe and fill with Jeyes fluid till the next time
I have cringed though in the past when someone has come to talk to me and as my bucket has been at bivvy doorway they have sat on it. I just pray when they do that and with the bucket being old, the plastic has not hardened and it splits. Usually these days now, I keep it just tucked inside my overwrap out of sight.

Bivvy loo for me. Brilliant bit of kit. I bought one of those pop up chinese tents for it which doubles as a shower block. It's even in camo so it's like an upmarket carp sh*thouse.
I buy the aldi peddle bin bags for mine, much cheaper than the bivvy loo ones.

Just wack your poo bag in a carrier bag and hang it up a tree - I usually deposit mine in a McDonalds bin on the way home as I like to give back to the corps who feed us poo in the first place . . .

In a bush then double bag it in dog poo bags.

The problem with bushes is finding a suitable one and having your eyes off the rods - with a bucket you can regen your guts in peace and in the bivvy doorway; also good for when the punisher in the swim next door inadvertently pops round for a chat - keeps this short and to the point . . .

I have an habit of nipping everything till I'm bursting.
One day I was busting for a number 3 and could hold it no longer, just as I was passing through the bivvy door, one of my rods was away. Once I knew the fish was hooked, I had to play it one handed as I got my "todger" out and had a good number 3 straight into pond as I could not go anywhere else except wee my pants.
Usually though, when I take a dump in my bucket, I turn my alarms off even though they are on a very low setting, then if I get a run, no one will hear especially if they are just walking past and be watching so I don't get panicked into rushing out and I can sort myself out and get my pants back up etc before hitting the run. So far though it has not happened, but one day it will.

Oh Mate, don't.
I was on the island at Taverham Mills cogitating on the bucket at the back of the bivvy when Klaus (RIP) came round for a chat. He was just outside the bivvy door for about 10minutes, and I couldn't move until he had gone. I will never know if he knew I was having a pony and trap, but I was so glad when he went.

Does make sense, I use a 50inch brolly though and unless it's mid winter then without the overwrap. Would be a horrible sight if someone caught me doing that. I remember doing it in to a bag under the brolly a few years back when I thought a run was imminent and it wasn't fun, obviously didn't get a run either.

Rhyming maybe?
Number 2 = poo
Number 3 = wee
?

A number 1 is a wee, number 2 is a poo and if you manage to snap another one off that then becomes a number 3.

I've got to the stage where I'm really not bothered (crapping in a bivvy at the lake - not generally!) and no I didn't go to private school where communal ablutions are character building / de rigeur; however when you gotta go, you gotta go . . . if another angler turns up when I'm curling one out then its arguably socially more 'uncomfortable' for them rather than yourself - tbf if they continue to hang around and chat whilst its obvs your still 'mid process' then I'd argue they are the strange ones and you'll know they need a wide birth going forward . . .

I was on a quick overnighter and whilst packing up in the morning had a sudden gut lurch telling me that urgent and immediate intervention was needed. I grabbed a bucket of pellet and emptied them out, quickly shoved a bin bag in the bucket and just in time took up the position and had a total renal failure 
Whilst squatting on the bucket contemplating what it would have been like if I hadn't made it in time, I heard a clanking sound. As I sat there in the open, as the brolly was packed away , I watch helplessly as a bulldozer, followed by a open backed truck with 4 blokes sat in it, soooo slowly clanked past to an area at the back of the lake which was having some building work done.
I did the only thing you can do when caught in public having a **** - wave at the amazed audience
