I'll probably regret asking this question, but are you saying that you poop in wood chips at your cabin? Not that there's anything wrong with that, just curious more than anything.

Does Bob use biofuel wood pellets for his shitter? My niece's cat does.

Are you just using fancy terminology for an outhouse? |

I'll probably regret asking this question, but are you saying that you poop in wood chips at your cabin? I was hoping somebody would. With all the things going on this year, building a more permanent solution for morning constitutions hasn't risen to the top. Quick and effective solutions had to be found. Well I found one. Low cost, no smell, no construction, and the co-product can be monetized for other capital improvements.  Now I just need to come up with a name and logo for the end product. Maybe BOB soil by Dogwood Farms? |

One of my buddy’s has a cabin and this is exactly what they use in a composting toilet

Building takes time Outhouse takes money Not well heeled in either right now. Still gotta get beds and batteries done this month or next. The bucket system is working good for me right now. Might need daily service with company though. I've got some room to improve accuracy pitching out a window though. I was curious how well the pine shavings would keep smell down. After the second biscuit, I had to damn near get my head below the rim of the bucket to smell anything. |

I was right, I do regret asking that question.
You will not likely having a lot of company up there once they realize they have to share your poop bucket. I would rather squat in the median of I90 than sit on your poop bucket that you have already partially filled.
I turn off the water to my cabin after gun season, so late season grouse hunts or habitat weekends up there are primitive. We refuse to share a poop bucket, so we just find a tree and take care of business behind that. There's an unwritten rule that it's not safe to walk by the poop trees the following year until July so nature has a time to break down the contamination.

(You don't wanna know how ice fishing was handled then...) Man, you're throwing right over the plate today. Excellent feedback. So here's the recipe starting with an empty bucket. 3 big single fists full of wood chips (should get you about 3" in bottom of bucket) Poop #1 3 more big single fists full of wood chips Lightly shake bucket to settle chips and push some air out Poop #2 Repeat until so full that anymore would risk mud bridging. I'm considering getting some coarse ground lime to throw in the rotation as well. 1 mud, 1 fist lime, 3 wood chips. I could even taylor the end product based on whether a guy has sandy soil or heavy clay by switching up lime sources. |

Outhouses are illegal by my cabin in northern Wisconsin. It wasn't legal to have a building with sleeping quarters without an approved waste plan. Every old deer camp around has an outhouse but the poop police rules new buildings with an iron fist.
