  1. Your link was informative, it seems it's been a bit since you last posted on your blog.  

    I don't often visit "Pit" toilets and as you remarked some are set up well and others not. Seems like I find the majority of not. To your knowledge has the Forest Service ever chose to separate the liquids from the solids? The only odor I'm getting from my Natures Head is the Ammonia odor from the urine. The mass of solids is near odorless and so far in over a year of daily use the odor has not been offensive. The Coconut Coir can be hard to find in the Fall and Winter and is a bit of a pain, but if I do obtain the 3+ acres of property It will make a great compost pile for the forest. What's your take on that thought? 

    Thanks again, I enjoy reading your posts.

      The key is to keep the pee and poop separated. The toilet solid containment does no composting and does require some sort of a drying agent and fan, until it's placed in a proper composting pile. Then nature does it's thing, from the poop flies other insects heat and time. That's my opinion, but I've only done it for a couple years now and it's only me, not 10's , 100's or 1000's per day.

  2. I just noticed you also have a 99 VX.  I got mine last October just before the Rally. Mechanically pretty good, but cosmetically not so much.

      It used to ride in the truck, now it's in the garage of the trailer. https://goo.gl/photos/N8jMK9bdsTzwT6R5A

      I like the trailer much better.

      Have had mine for several years now and really enjoy it. My daughter has been driving it lately but I will get it back by the end of the month. It does need a paint job on top and the hood. Sides are pretty good and the cladding has a few abrasions but you can only see them close up. Hope to be at the Hutch Rally this year again.
