The following article got me thinking. As part of cub scouts last year, we had a camping trip to the Congaree National Monument last summer. The scouts had reserved a camping area not too far from one of the roads in the park. Anyway, there was a restroom near the parking area and you only had to hike in a few hundred yards at the most. Well, upon arrival I was told NOT to enter the restroom and to go in the woods. Incredulous, I of course had to see WHY. Well, there's no electricity in the area, but there was a small building with restrooms. So I entered the men's room. The. Smell. Literally. Knocked. Me. Down. GOD awful. Still, ever inquisitive I ventured over to the toilet. It looked "normal" enough. Had a lid, a back, etc. Lifted the lid. MISTAKE.
The toilet went straight down into a black chasm of nothingness. Again, ever inquisitive, I took my trusty cub scout flashlight out and peered down into the abyss. About 8 feet down there was a large chamber filled with fluid. But something was moving. I quickly identified that about 6.43 million MAGGOTS were crawling on the surface of the liquid. I #### near lost my lunch. Ran out. Also noticed there was no sink for hand washing. I shat in the woods that weekend as did EVERYONE else.
If this is what Bill Gates wants, he can have it.

Figuring out them Korean squat holes was difficult.

But we were in a town where there were enough Westerners that public restrooms had some regular toilets.
Saudi Arabia though? Basically had a semi-wretched crapper with a garden hose to function as the bidet. Weird stuff.

had regular toilets....and then those with 'eastern-style toilets'.
just weird.
I've used composting toilets a few times....the ones @ the top of Breck, bruh, didn't really stank too bad, given the cold weather.
the other time was @ Paris Mtn State Park, in mid June. This was....less preferable

I'd be worried about pre and post poo gas leaks.

Can't have that methane catching on fire before I clear the area.

But even those have a way to remove the waste right?

I mean you don't crap straight into a septic tank with a 2ftx1ft open hole right? I mean the smell alone is enough reason for that not to work, especially in a building. Heck, that thing in the Congaree swamp didn't even have a drain field. I think it was an enclosed box.

my wife just sent me this. She's mad that I just put in a "comfort height" (read higher) toilet in our bathroom remodel and now her feet don't touch the ground when she's on the throne.

The Squatty Potty is the actual #### - my wife is

embarrassed by it, though, so I have to drag it out of the closet to use. I feel like an authentic Asian, my ### barely even touches the toilet seat, but the poop flow so freely. Highly recommend, 10/10...
