honey bucket
Bucket for waste
A honey bucket is a portable toilet, specifically a bucket or container used to collect human waste where plumbing isn't available.
The term is common in Alaska and other remote areas, and appears in military and camping contexts.
The "honey" is grimly euphemistic—the bucket contains anything but.
The cabin had no running water, just a honey bucket out back.
