I call it the Ventilation Improved Triple Pit (VITP).Two poop pits of the same depth and width as close as possible with a third low pit that becomes a downhill trench. The third pit is for urine the principle is a downhill dug trench with gravel at the bottom and dirt on top until it reaches back to the opening of the pit which is exposed gravel. You pee on the gravel it travels downhill through the gravel and you may plant things on top of the dirt which will drink the urine.This separation of urine from poop means the poop can compost and remain as dry as possible giving it the highest volume reduction possible and lowest smell. One poop pit is used for a year and then it is allowed to rest and users switch to the other pit. For every 1/4th the pit is filled you must throw in a shovel of worm rich topsoil. The poop pit being used will each week have dry crushed leaves and wood ash of aboht the same quantity tossed in. High carbon, low moisture and the final piece of the puzzle is aeration. A pipe must be installed from the two poop pits out above the roof or sitting area, and it must have a mesh or fly stop on it. This airflow allows the highest level of composting. I advise connecting the two poop pits together via this air pipe with a three piece pipe connector and only one air pipe coming out. In your local environment you should have mint or peppermint plants. These usually contain menthol which is an insect deterrent. Do not throw directly in the pit, plant them around the toilet and crush leaves up, or create an decoction and spread around the area weekly. If this is done correctly not only will it not stink but you can realistically with a permanent group never have to get in and shovel raw shit.
Nice!
The concept is interesting, but where would you place the piss slide? It's kinda hard to just shit without pissing a little too.Would you have people do their number ones before their number twos to minimize the amount of piss in the shit?I used a pre-made seat for an outhouse that had a convenient piss hole, so you could piss in that while you were shitting, and the piss was led out through a tube, and that seemed to work pretty well. Or, at least it didn't smell as foul as some other outhouses so.
>>2853749Interesting. If they can piss first that would work. The urine getting in there is what makes the whole thing stink terribly we must avoid doing that. I like the pipe idea. If you had flexibility pipe you could bury one end at the level of the gravel that way you only have one end and it is easy to work with. Put a clip on it and hang it up when not used. The other option is a small maybe just couple inch deep trench in front of the poop pits filled with gravel that connects back to the pain trench.
>>2853519Good design I think
>>2853519congratz, you reinvented a worse composting toilet. the chamber goes above ground, makes aeration a lt better. then put some wooden boards for floor and seat on top. a mix of sawdust and charcoal gets tossed in after every use. the stink comes from a bad nitrogen/carbon ratio and anoxic conditions. if its proper compost, it doesnt smell. you can pee when you by it, a little doesnt hurt. just dont use it just for peeing. or you put in a urine separator and funnel it into a pile of charcoal or banana circle or something like that.when is full you switch to a second chamber and let t sit for a year+. then it can be used to fertilize your trees. some people put it in their veggie garden too, which is safe, but you can just use normal compost for that.
>>2853519all toilets are just a crude imitation of God's Perfect Toilet.The River.
>>2854106>the chamber goes above ground Yeah enjoy carrying that in by hand while off trail.
Go pick a plant in your yard and piss on it every day.It will be dead in a month.
>>2854177God's Toilet is India.
>>2854248Not the same thing. The roots can grow away.
>>2854310and the biggest toilet in India is the Ganges river.
>mom found the poop pits
>>2853519I just poop in the river it makes washing my butt easy.
>>2854788No.
