Part Two, inspired by someone who's brain was working faster than mine. Thanks -f-

We're chemical for now. SunMar composting in the future.


EDIT see http://countryplans.com/smf/index.php?topic=4208.0 for "part one"
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

More variety out in the woods than at home   ;)

Don, I have an RV toilet installed inside my cabin, plumbed for water just like in an RV.  I have two 10 gal totes that I connect to the pipe directly under the toilet underneath my cabin.  RV  toilets use little water, and so the totes last us awhile.  When full I just load the totes in my vehicle and take and dump at an RV dump station.  Pretty simple system to operate and maintain.  In fact, my cabin operates much like a permanently parked RV.  I have an RV propane hot water heater, 12 volt water pump, along with the RV toilet.  We haul our water in and pump it into a plastic 55 gal barrel.

When we are out at the cabin, I usually find a tree to water, and encourage any other men to water the surrounding aspens and firs.  Cuts down on cabin water use and adds much-needed nitrogen to the earth.  And as for the ladies flushing the toilet, my daughter says (always in her own way), "Hey Dad, if it's yellow, it's mellow; if it's brown, it's down."

Amazing just how little water one can do with if only a little effort and attitude change is made.

Good to see you around here Hal.

How is your solar  electric system working? Did you get the wind working for you?

Our "other" is a potty chair that we found at a yard sale. So we're a modified one holer at camp! We dig a hole, put the pot chair over it and when the hole needs to buried.... time to move the pot chair! ;D

Cool.  That's how our original started out -- 2' high plywood sides with a one holer and no walls to spoil the view.  We used lime dipped out of a bag with a paper cup to cover  our creations.  It keeps the rodents from lunching out and fossilizes them for future geologists to find and learn about our civilization.
