Composting toilet  by boxplayer

Composting toilet

These are great - so much more pleasant and obviously much better generally for the environment than the nasty smelly chemical jobbies. These don't smell at all. On the camping field after Singing with Nightingales.

Not all that much sleep - was more or less warm under the duvet and faux fur but the airbed continued to deflate so was on the ground by early morning. Knees also not liking all the crawling about etc. Self service breakfast of Bircher muesli and tea left out for us.

Gave our young camping neighbour Jules a lift to Lewes station before heading home, a slightly sticky journey via the Blackwall Tunnel but not horrendous. Spread the tent out to air, threw away the defunct airbed and are a yummy halloumi fry-up in the afternoon sun.

3 good things
1. I survived a night under canvas.
2. Camper's breakfast.
3. More days off for me, not back at work till Thursday.

At least you did it, even if it wasn’t the best experience. Not sure I would these days. Interesting composting toilet. A new one on me.

I’m no camper-in-a-tent person, never was - bravo to you for getting through it! As Lesley mentioned above, that toilet is a new one for me - great for environmental issues.

The joys of camping.

This reminded me of the Long Drop toilets in NZ. Out on a walk & you can come across sheds with loos over a deep hole in the ground. They are very efficient!

A composting toilet is new to me too! I don’t do camping, tents don’t have a door that I can lock! 🤔😉

Looks like an adventure!

I wouldn't be too keen to sleep under canvas these days unless it was clamping. That loo is quite cute

A character filled loo.

@pusspup interesting, I suspect they're on the same lines, but maybe these ones are managed more often being on a campsite? Dug out or whatever needs to happen?

I’ve not heard of them - what a smart idea

We had a composting toilet on our allotment. It was a lifesaver! Well done on surviving the camping. It's not for me anymore!
