Building Composting Toilets
Anyone cover this yet? You can file this under G if anyone has. I just will go through a quick version or two and leave it at that just in case.
Anyone can add to this if they like.
Well the case with Katrina was the Stadium was filled with lots of people and the bathrooms were piling up with poo. Not really sanitary in my book. There is also those times when electricity goes out, people need a throne to sit on and when the toilets don't flush, well nobody can wait forever. There is also those places you camp and no toilets to be found and its a take in and out situation. What ever the case is, here is a quick problem solver.
A simple composting toilet is nothing more than a 5 gallon bucket with lid, some dry grass, leaves and or saw dust and some toilet paper or napkins even work.
After every time someone uses the bucket, throw some grass, saw dust, leaves or what ever is handy that is from nature to do the job of covering it up (just a sprinkle unless you fill the bucket at one time, then use a few hand fulls of dry vegetation to cover it). If you don't have any vegetation in your area or in the big city, then rip up some newspapers and throw that on top.
In the wild, you most likely won't have a 5 gallon bucket, so if you are in one spot for a while and need a toilet, then dig a nice sized hole several feet down if possible and every time you go, just throw some pine needles, grass, or what ever is handy including even some dirt if that is all there is on top each time you go. Now, some will say just go in the woods, but after a few days, the flies are gathering up and the smell becomes a little more than distracting. So yet again, someone says go further away from camp and go, yet someone is always walking around looking for firewood and steps in someone's left over dinner the night before. So just a nice way of keeping a clean smelling camp and keeping the bugs away is using a composting toilet.
I hate to think some fly just went and ate some guys poo and then lands on my dinner, I don't mind the deer, but the guy next to me? Yuck. Haha.
Just some humor. Anyway, just another idea.
Good Hunting.
