outhouse at the cabin
I have been to a fair amount of outhouses and have to say -unless its cold (freezing ) you will need at least 30-60 feet to the outhouse -preferably having a secluded place away from everything else .A compost toilet will stink a little -especially if temperatures rise in the summer etc .
sawdust is pretty effective in taking the stink if it covers the turds and helps the breakdown of the shit .once in a while the container under the seat has to be brought a few hundred feet from the house and dumped in a dithch with other organic material and covered to kep the worst buginfestatiosn at bay .
As for peopel in T2k or any other situation were th ewater stops - getting a regular pail of water (need not be clean obviously ) and pouring it all in the wc at once will build up enough weight to make it flush away .No good of course if it all spills out through cracked pipes close by .
The quest for keeping shit out of the water source is tough in any community ,failure means epidemics and sickness ,increased childmortality etc etc .Imagine how many people work keeping the water safe in the western world -and they have chemicals ,labs to do tests,filters etc .
The militia/security force would have to keep on keeping on with no end .(Noone wants to wall 300 meters to the cesspool when they can just dump it in the ditch 50 meters away)
Piss buckets could be inside if too cold to run out the ditch designated for sprinkling .
