Humanure - if you can't flush it, what can you do with it?

Humanure can be mulched. The secret is to have a lot of greens. The additional greens will get hot enough to burn off anything.
Dead animals were mulched this way for generations.

There are numerous ways to build a composting toilet on the net. We have emergency 5 gal buckets handy, and even a toilet seat that's designed to sit on top of a 5 gallon bucket. We put up a tall emergency mulch bin away from the house for this type of mulching just in case.

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

I just posted the link to Humanure online.

I’ve used that kind of toilet and it works very well. No smell.

Urine is very high in nitrogen (i.e. "green").
