A poo bucket is not nearly as bad as it sounds. (Saw dust and distance keep the smell down.)

Otherwise, great list.

Counterpoint; a poo bucket is actually exactly as bad as it sounds

you have not smelt my brand

Saw dust or whatever, those things stinks. The best part is having people over and mixing all their crap in an enormous bucket 🤢🤮🪣

I have a quite good experience with these, and was surprised how little they smell (but it was an outside toilet with an incredible view)

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Mine were always indoors, from those old ones with place for two, to modern ones with a sort of spanner to mix it all... They stink in various degrees up to like impossible. Outside it might be totally okay I guess (if it's not in the winter or the muskitoes are not on a war path).

Not sure if you have control over it, but the ones I've used didn't even smell when directly smelling over them. Not sure if there was something mixed in there too, to reduce the smell further. The owners used the resulting humus as fertilizer too.

I wonder if there's some sort of oil you can pour over it so the scent molecules can't escape into the air

you eat bismuth subgallate and it neutralizes the scent when you digest. it's for people with missing digestive tracts.

at least in statesia the brand name (i swear i'm not going hailcorporate, just some people could use some and personal experience it works a hell of a lot better than poopourri) is devrom and it tends to run 20 to 40 usd for 200 pills. OTC, of course.

Dry saw dust does a whole lot of work in these toilets.

And the Molotov Crap-tail is born. We did it.

Wait what? Like you poo in a bucket inside your house?

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 4 points 6 days ago

Yes. Though a dedicated room is very nice.
