How We Deal With Human Waste Living Off Grid - Hot Compost
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- When living off grid, one of the biggest considerations is how to deal with human waste. We are told that human waste is dangerous, gross, stinky etc but when dealt with properly, it is really not that scary or bad. We have tried three different composting bin set ups, and found this cheap and easy way to be the most effective in supporting a hot compost.

I read about a guy who had an old cement mixer truck and he would compost salmon carcasses using the mixer. I bet that would make some awesome humanure compost in very little time with less effort.
Only 3 years too late but a good composting system could involve putting the raw materials into a large barrel-shaped container placed horizontally and using some sort of mechanism to spin the barrel. This is supposed to really super charge your compost. Anyways, enjoying your vids, starting back at the beginning 👍🏻
[Edit] Your ventilation system is brilliant! I would delete my comment but I’ll leave it up for the RUclips algorithm.
"....my job today is to speak over my LOUD CHICKEN!!!! 🐓..." - that made me laugh 😆Great vid, will be doing similar myself soon 👍🏻
I've always had trouble composting. I've lived in very arid climates so that presents more challenges. I do plan to compost humanure some day. So, thank you sharing your method and success.
Can we ask a video about your Grey water pit system? Thanks!
I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and and love it! It’s great to see organic material being recycled. What do you do with non-biodegradable waste like plastics?
Recycling at the dump
You need a 5 prong Fork for moving that compost into the wire cage works a lot better than a shovel.
Would like an update video to this maybe this spring.
Will do!
I'm still in the dig-a-hole and bury it phase of off-grid life. 😅 This is the goal, man. One day! Impressive stuff.
Start a compost! It works so well!!!
Is urine not considered to become gold after years of becoming minerals zed under ground?
i will change at least one things - instead to use metal mesh .. you should use wood stick .. .and that will be fully eco
Keep it up. Great content.
👍

do you guys not use urine as a nitrogen source? why/why not?
We did at first but it sucks carrying 5 gallons of pee to the compost. Plus in the winter it freezes so we wouldn't have been able to keep the jug, it was outside the bus
@@ThisOffGridLife right haha makes sense it all in the bus ! I forget that as we have an outhouse.
