Low use bucket toilet

We have some family hunting property that we use infrequently. There might be 20 deposits a year, as we have condos nearby for facilities.

Currently we have a hole. Periodically my father in law will dig it out, and honestly I think he flings it into the woods. Basically a bench w a hole over a hole in the ground.

I’d like to make something a bit more elegant. At a minimum about of the weather!

Were I to make a proper outhouse w a bucket or other solution:
1. If it was used and just left for a month or two, is that OK?  Or would I need to empty before leaving?
2. Is there a minimum use you’d recommend for a humanure solution?  Ie, with our use case, I’m assuming that it’d be several years of deposits before any usable pile would be generated for appropriate composting. Any input/comments?

In the next decade, I’ll very likely build a guest cabin on the property and retire to my lake condo about 10 minutes away. At that point there would likely be enough usage to make a true humanure solution.

Sounds like you need a willow feeder...

Thanks for that, you may be right!

Any issues w the deposits sitting in an “unfilled” state for some time?

What about a Porta Potti and dump it near the willow in a suitable deep hole

I cant answer your question about whether to dump the bucket or not.

I feel if in doubt go ahead and dump it and refresh with new sawdust.

Or you could leave it and see what happens ...
