A bathroom hangup

[bss]

we have a humanure setup and it works well for our needs. I use pine sawdust, only because I do not have consistent access to hardwood shavings. With a household of more than two folks, I would recommend building an outhouse privy vs. a humanure toilet. You would gain back that dry storage/use space in the bathroom and obviously never have a second thought about odor. It would fill up too quickly anyways.

Composting toilets are prohibitively expensive; they require an electrical heat source whenever temps fall below 50F, some still require water to be plumbed to them, and most will require that you cut a hole in your yurt's roof to vent it properly.

Always seemed silly to me to cut a hole in a $5,000 waterproof membrane just to take a dump.

YMMV
