We set up a sawdust bucketsystem in addition to our
outhouse and house sawdust buckets for a wedding of one hundred but just for one day. We were ready with several primed buckets and lots of extra sawdust and someone to check periodically to make sure folks were covering their deposits and that we had
enough tp. We also had a set up for washing hands and towels. Ours was tarped (a nice generous space with a changing "room") and set back on a path in the woods so I think did not get thoroughly tested as some just grabbed a little tp and went off into the
trees to
pee. We just balanced the toilet ring and lid on the
bucket but if you have lots of boards you could make a nice stand.
In my opinion, Port o potties/chemical toilets are GROSS!
Did you mean you could dig a hole when you mentioned a backhoe? That could be the easy solution...with plenty of sawdust...no smell no maintenance..but not near a creek...is it on your
land or in the National Forest? a camp out or two days daytime?
Someone in another
thread mentioned using strawbales to form the hole with board lid.
