  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.

      Yeah, quit posting on the blog.  Google was just getting free content.

      Forest Service has in the past funded virtually EVERY possible toilet system.

      BTW....composting toilets have been a complete failure, EXCEPT at Fields Point, Ferry Area on the Chelan Ranger District.

      They have worked well there.  They require daily maintenance, but given that it is a ferry terminal it has FS employees there every day.  The toilets require "turning" and Fields Point has the problem of more Pee than Poop.  So every day the Forest Service adds sawdust to the toilet to balance the system.

      We put them in remote campgrounds and they were a total failure.  Ripped them out and replaced them with vault toilets.
