    Default Homemade Sawdust Toilet

    If you are putting things back in case the SHTF (no pun intended) then you might be interested in this emergency toilet:

    Just what I need 400 lbs of saw dust, in bags, in the shed.

    Well it sounds like it would work for keeping the smell down.

    It is something to think about.

    Not sure that's particularly useful if you can't use the compost in the garden - where else would you use compost??
    Plain old outhouse seems the better option. If you don't throw the toilet paper in, it stinks way less and the hole lasts forever and a day. We use an old coffee can as a toilet paper incinerator, also gives a pleasant campfire atmosphere to the whole thing while you're sitting on the throne.

    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    That's more or less what they do in Dawson City. Poor people downstream! I'd prefer my water turdless...

    I was joking, partically. In the Army we were taught to bury it, if buy a stream or river go in the river (pooping) and then turn the bottom over and bury it there as to leave no sign. Problem I had is the soil on the river, creek, or stream bed is always shifting and moving so wouldn't it wash up to the surface or down stream.

    OK hopeak, this could officially be the sickest posting ever, I don't want to check back, but for now I'd venture that you're the record holder.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    If you live in an urban environment, wilderness homesteading living with the animals and own an outhouse folks. This might be your only viable option.

    Can I get some mustard for my Moose Nuggets?

    I get my water out of a creek and a lot of animals live up stream, as long as there are no beavers up stream I drink it untreated.

    It's official, I'm convinced, you and hillbilly are family aren't you? That's why he's so proud of being just like you.

    That toilet might be ok, but if you own a cat you might wanna just check over your shoulder before backing in, LOL.
