Are You Ready

Keep Calm, Be Prepared & Leave Nothing Behind

At Caught Short we believe in being prepared and leaving nothing behind that could contaminate our drinking water.

In the great outdoors this means taking out what we take in, no matter if it’s a remote spot or a ‘well used’ trail. We provide products that easily allow you to explore with freedom and leave nothing behind but footprints.

In an emergency this means knowing you can keep yourself and your family toilet safe and clean without leaving your home.

In traffic it means you can relax and potentially save your car and yourself from an expensive clean up.

We believe in inspiring taking care of yourself and others, having respect for our environment and the people in it. To us this means being ready and leaving our pristine landscapes as we found them or better.  In terms of eco-tourism this many also mean ensuring the communities calling these places home are happy to host local and overseas visitors in their backyard.

"We want everyone to be able to feel prepared and or explore the great outdoors with freedom. But we want them to leave it as pristine as they found it."

Our products are specially designed to be multi situation use, highly portable and contain everything you need for toileting, so you’ll never be caught short again. They include waste bags, unique odour eradicating powder, toilet paper and antibacterial hand wipes. There’s nothing else you’ll need.

Have a specific need? We do custom kits!  Please enquire at sales@caughtshort.co.nz.

Bikers, trampers, campers, family road trippers, stuck in Auckland traffickers, freedom campers, anglers, boaties, hunters or emergency preparedness – no matter what your style is we have your butt covered.

Our People

Caught short once too often

I believe in leaving no trace, in particular human waste, but I also recognise how difficult that can be at times. Children, traffic, remote locations, too much coffee, IBS, general illness, surgery/recovery, a long walk and emergencies...I want everyone to feel secure in that there are safe and clean options for toileting for every circumstance. Caught Short was born out of a love for NZ and awesome adventures and knowing we have earthquakes, cyclones that can cut us off from normal functions. I love getting out with my family and I feel better knowing my family and I are prepared. I really dislike coming across someone else’s business and fear getting sick from contaminated water. I hope Caught Short inspires a new-age love for keeping NZ beautiful and being prepared for emergencies. I hope our products ensure everyone has the ability to feel prepared and or have the freedom to travel anywhere without the risk of being Caught Short.
