You will need to build an outhouse, of course a long way from the house. If there are no privacy concerns just dig a trench. It needs to be deep but not real wide.
I was a child in the Florida Panhandle during the late 40’s and there was no electricity. We of course had an outhouse. With the sandy soil in this area the waste was consumed very quickly. Probably not so in other areas.
Mother always kept a bucket of water and a pan on the back porch on a board where you could wash your hands.
I once had to park my travel trailer, a 32 foot one on my parents property. This was only for a couple of months but I wanted to stay in it rather than in the house. My Father who was knowledgeable about such things told me to just dig a 5 foot deep hole and dump the tank in it every few days. He said to go ahead and use the commercial chemicals.
To my surprise it worked amazingly well. A day after dumping the tank, there would be absolutely nothing left in the bottom of the hole, just sand. Of course this would probably not work in other type soil.
When I left to return to grad school, all I had to do was fill in the hole.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing that.
I’ve been concerned over the water table getting contaminated. 4 things essential for surviving (imho): how to safely eliminate waste, how to tap into the water table and how to grow food/including grains and cook with electric... My brother has a ‘hand mill’ that we can use.
Thanks for the info. I’m also doing a general search. Foxfire books were mentioned but you have to purchase those and well...right now, no can do.
