Remote Toilet ideas?

How about now?

Here's looking a bit more south - toward Mt. Evans

Just might take you up on that...

I'm looking at a smaller system, single floor, etc. Like one of these:

Hoping someone has some experience with something like this. Thought about a propane incinerating toilet, but I've heard that the stink is horrendous, not to mention the stories of burned butts.

I don't ship out till Nov 14, and I have nothing interesting to do till then...

Ugh incineration.... burning sh*t smells a lot like burning sh*t.
Only problem I see with electrical is points of failure. While it midget be unlikely, electrical/mechanical components are prone to failure, and that would be a really crappy job to fix (pun ). A plain and simple, purely composting crapper is maintenance free, unless it needs cleaning.

BTW the original pic works fine for me... nice view!

Keep it simple. Here is a link:

There are plenty of other examples on the web. These systems have been in use by millions throughout history. Some easy to find items and a little fuel to make it burn.

The urine tubes are way simple after you have dug out the gravel pit. It doesn't sound like you are going to have many people using it over long periods, so the sand and gravel filtration probably will last a good long time.

The toughest part is finding a location that is close enough, but not too close.

The view in the photograph is very nice.

The problem with those is that you have to stir it with a pole while it burns to get it all efficiently.
Other than that its about as simple as they get.

I'm old enough to remember the smell of the original "Sh#t Duty" in the Marines,.. Not sure I wanna re-live that memory, but you know, you have a point about simplicity. Hmmm (insert head-scratch here).

A plastic bucket with a side bucket of sawdust works pretty damn well - you can achieve really decent composting action, with that Carbon/Nitrogen ratio. Urine is especially potent in the nitrogen department. Very little smell.

Haybales work well for a urinal. Very little smell, again, from the composting action.

I'm afraid I'm not much help with the emplacement perspective.

Y'all are slackin'.


Incinerators are expensive.
Biodegradable is cheaper but not much.
Are concrete vaults allowed in this area?

Insulated gloves and a piece of rebar make a great stirring stick.

You can always clothes pin your nose (not that it really helps).

Wear an old pair of coveralls and leave them at the cabin to air dry after you leave.

Depending on the quantity, it shouldn't take too long and it is one of those jobs you save for the newbies

When I saw the $1000 price tags for the other options you were considering, I just about shit myself

Cut a metal 55 gallon drug in half and add about 5 gallons of diesel. On the up side if you want to keep you land private that will certainly keep prying eyes away.

I'm interesting in how difficult and how much a plot of land like that is.

My family has a cabin near Winter Park and it was awesome growing up. Now it is like any other neighborhood with houses right on top of each other. Wouldn't be so bad, but our plot is really small.
