Powder Room

I will keep this description brief so I will not be vulgar,. We created our bathroom today. We wanted it to be far enough away from our tent and cooking, water collection, but not so far away that it is inconvenient.  We had a challenge to not build it down wind. It was basically across the island. We dug a deep hole and then put rocks around it and some wood on top of it to make it more comfortable. I read that you do NOT use disinfectant because that kills the useful bacteria that you need to keep it from smelling. After each use, you throw some earth and water in it to create natural bacteria that it needs.
