Composting Toilet DIY | NATURES HEAD ❌ vs BUCKET TOILET ✅

[@kls0110]

Barron's intro monologue to the toilet is A+ commentary

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Totally agree it was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@FollowingHawks]

We love our bucket compost toilet that we’ve been using for three years now. For the substrate, I just take a large trash can to the local sawmill and they let me fill it with sawdust for no charge and it breaks down better than anything else we’ve tried 🙌

[@Pinetree282]

I have used a Loveable Loo with the 5 gallon buckets for 10 years. Collect bags of shredded leaves in the fall for both the outhouse 5 gallon bucket and pallet compost bin(s). Fantastic system!. And use the 2 year old compost in my garden. But only use those veggies myself or with friends who understand, and are okay with, the system. I have a feminine funnel in an old gallon milk jug for pee (don’t have to go outside for that! Call it my second bathroom. Lol.) At night it lives RIGHT beside the bed. And finally. A piece of camping pad foam with a circle cut out to insulate my butt from the freezing toilet seat. Even at 11 below (F) the seat is warmer than most flush toilets I use when away from home. Zero problems. Nice closed system. Food - poop - food. Also. Can put ANYTHING in my compost pile. Meat, bones, cheese, dairy. All breaks down.

[@rhondazappalewis3685]

Barron had me laughing about that toilet! Both dogs are adorable. I loved watching you guys boarding on the ice. Great video

[@kathrynsmith3796]

We have an off grid outhouse, and for years we've used a piece of foam with a hole cut out to make the stay more comfortable. Warm tushy even in sub zero degrees, I promise.

[@karenwyzwmnbrown5853]

I lived off grid for about 10 years and I used a removable toilet seat that I brought in and hung behind the Woodstove to keep it warm until we had to take it outside to use it lol

[@isabellane2131]

So much good puppy content, you’ve BLESSED us. Every pup needs to run into glass once to learn that it’s solid.

[@sovereigns1grace]

OMG you guys are so hillarious!! Pilot is soooo cute with those goofy ears. And Kamp ... poor guy. He was so used to being the princess of all. He's being amazingly good. Thanks so much for posting. Everyone else has been on a break and I really needed this!!!

[@aleta5873]

And Kamp showing his teeth off and on.

[@candidulce0714]

I'm so sorry but Pilot running into the window was so funny. I instantly felt bad for her but she looked so confused. Lol

[@RedStickHistorian]

This video had it all, new toilet, snowboarding, dog training, throat singing, window crashes, etc., etc. Thanks for sharing.

[@loriwoolever7919]

Pilot’s ears are soooo adorable!

[@knockbackzee]

Oop! Looks like the tables have turned for Kamp! Pilot is holding her own, wrestling with him! The place looks good! I wait eagerly for new videos, and this made my morning! Lol at Barron with his alliteration on the dookie box! Have a great week! Looking into those eyes! She has so much love in those eyes! My heart melts!

[@ElsaRhae]

Thank you for watching!! Lots of pup action in this video!

Dookie bucket....turd tumbler 😂🤣😂🤣💩💩💩I literally just woke up, starting watching this and now I can't quit laughing!! Love it!

[@lewih7135]

The turd tumbler subject....all of it had me cracking up! 🤣

[@pagewhite61]

Poo with a view! I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains with no running water, indoor plumbing, central heat. We had a two seater outhouse. It was definitely cold in the winter although more protected from the wind than yours. I liked it though, great view from ours too. Fun video, I love seeing Kamp and Pilot interact. Thanks.

[@ChiChi_Shaw]

I love the shoes, Barron, it's nice to treat yourselves a little. You deserve it. You guys are doing great. The build's coming along so beautifully. God bless ya'll. 👏

[@teresam2277]

I have not commented in a while, but Barron's comment on the relief bucket, was way tooo funny! And Elsa, just can't contain herself.... I love you two!

[@randr302]

A video from Elsea always makes my day! Peace to all who gather here ♥️

Aye Aye!

[@rhondazappalewis3685]

Amen, and too you as well

[@lisalamorey3453]

You as well🥰

[@patricelemay1190]

Darn that pup has ears like antennas 😄 and it's great to see the friendship developping between your two dogs , love you guys and your values and love your videos , have a great wonderful new year ! 🧡💚💜✌😚

[@susanberdan1626]

Love how you all work together, wish that's how more couples were. Love the whole family , camp and puppy pilot too .

[@CrazyCats28]

Aww the goofy ear stage! I’ve had 3 german shepherds and love when their ears are starting to stand up. So cute!

[@robertlandrum1971]

“It’s like an Outhouse, but without walls or ceiling.” But it has an awesome view. 😮

[@aleta5873]

lol!

[@HelenBeeee]

My husband and I had a composting toilet for about a year whilst we were renovating our property. It was a great system and really easy to set up and maintain. It wasn’t the poop that was a problem but the urine was smelly and made it messier to dispose of. We did the simple bucket system with no separation but if I had to do it again I would work out a separation system for solids and liquid. That being said it was a lot easier to setup and use than I would have thought prior to using one. The puppy is good for Camp she really is bringing out his doggy side love the way he trots down the road like he owns it very cute 🥰

[@HelenBeeee]

Forgot to add that intro was the business 👍😎

[@MsBuggyness]

My brother made a camping pooper (which they still use) out of a folding camp chair with the bottom busted out, a toilet ring and a bucket. He made an enclosure outside by his workshop for the thing so he could "go" while out there working too. lol. It ... has ... (i crack up thinking about this every time) ... cup holders for his beer, lol.

[@ilonakatalindako-tolman5545]

Lots of good things, but the most adorable is your new dog...Shane is just like my adorable Kika ... 6 years without her 😔 I had her since she was 3 months old and 12 when she left...always around and my loving companion ❤

[@IcedReality]

Super interested to hear how the toilet goes. We started a compost toilet system using 5 gallon buckets in August. Two adults full about 3-4 buckets a week. Sawdust for substrate. Working well (and when others have $12,000+ septic issues I breathe easy) but still have kinks to work out. Excited to hear how yours goes.

[@healingnaturegirl333]

“ I thought you were talking to me “, lol . Great video, very peaceful but active vibe. Love the new crapper 💛

[@Nomadic.A]

I quickly decided on bucket method in my van. No need to overcomplicate things!

[@elainehammond4598]

A couple of questions: 1. Could you have a "regular" septic system if you so desired? That way the potty could be inside?? 2. Do you plan to have some kind of enclosure around the toilet? Guests might like a little privacy?? I love how the dogs are getting along better and they both seem so happy. A very happy New Year to all of you!!

[@sharondoan1447]

Maybe guests could throw a blanket over their head and feel private ? 😆

[@jenmsdc3244]

Pilot & the window 😅 - I couldn’t believe it as well, had to rewind it! She didn’t even look fazed, such a cutie! Wonderful update & again, thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us ♥️

[@LooseChili]

I picked up some Vivo Tracker 2 for my winter boots and I can honestly say they are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever owned.

[@auntiehawmie]

We use Styrofoam insulation for the seat. It's instantly warm. ( Blue or pink) Easily replaced when dirty.

[@cathywarriner]

I totally seen that coming with Pilot, you could tell she thought she was shut out but got sidetracked, forgot about it and then jumped at the window. What a beautiful mountain you went snowboarding on. I like what you said Elsa about toughening up with going outside to go to the washroom, but it totally would strengthen you with the exposure to the cold. Loved your jumps 😂

[@thekingdomfellowships]

I'm so glad to see an honest review of compostable toilets, it's all marketing fluff. We went with a diverter and bucket when building our tiny house. Love the "system" and we have no black tank to dump, win/win. Thanks guys and I hope that you are having a wonderful winter, thanks for the vids!

[@kellydornon1788]

I have to say Pilot running into the window was hilarious! I just got an 8 week old rottie and can't wait for this funny stuff myself!

[@chrisbocker2255]

I love the word Crapper, It just flows

[@janineshaner1107]

Omgosh when pilot smacked into the glass I literally said outloud "oh no!!!!"

[@lynnemac1402]

Pilot has grown so much, I love how her ears touch looks so cute. Kamp is so funny he's strutting around even more now. Beautiful place to go to toilet, really honest review on your first one. Hope you had a good christmas and happy new year xx

[@katherinebutler4054]

Wow. Good to hear a realistic take on the Natures Head.

[@patricelemay1190]

I was toasty in my home but looking at you snowboarding persuaded me to get off my big butt and go cross-country skiing so thank you for that ! ⛷😬👍

[@Tailingthesun]

Loved your video and your review, we’ve had our natures head 2 years now and I gotta say it’s still my fav thing in the van. Also Ty for all the puppy footage! ❤ much love

[@0HARE]

I so enjoy spending some time in your world. I always learn something from you, and have a laugh or two. Wishing you well.

[@Dr.Pepperlady]

They do love each other and he sure is getting big

[@Awenda18]

Pilot has the most perfect ears for a puppy GS 💕

[@tabithawestbrook9683]

All those reasons you cited for a no on the Nature's Head are why I have simple poop bucket toilet in my converted cargo trailer. I used pelletized bedding as the medium (cheap, no smell, easy to come by when repurchasing needs arise), and I can just take my biodegradable bag and toss it in the trash. Easy, mess free, perfect. And it all cost me a total of $40 to create.

[@shannon4991]

Can the pelletized bedding be used in compost? What happens once full? :) Sounds like it could be a good system! Just bought land and absolutely do not want septic, the thought of installing a privvy outhouse gives me a headache from upfront build cost and emptying costs.

[@tabithawestbrook9683]

@@shannon4991 I think it probably could? But there may be rules around allowing the human waste to decompose. I'd do some google searches on that part. The pelletized bedding itself I think would be fine for compost. I get mine at Tractor Supply so they may know, too.

[@michellesanders5420]

Your little family is a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

We had two NaturesHeads on our catamaran and then one in our Rpod. It was a fight… we now have a ThinkTank toilet in our Imagine and after a bit of a learning curve are happy with it.

[@contrafax]

I am so happy Kanp and Pilot get along.

[@hannahcole1221]

I have a separett toilet and honestly it’s fantastic.

[@robinminkster]

Hahaha….Pilot and the window😂 Love your videos. Happy New year and Blessings to you all❤

[@ElsaRhae]

I could not believe it!

[@MJ-ge6jz]

Thx for the poopy dukey review! A $K tolit is crazy. I purchased one of those bucket designs which use disposibale baggies. Works great on the road and I purchase a cheap shower tent to keep the public shock value down. Like your home made design and I'll probably enclose it for wind-chill considerations. Hint: Make your toilit seat removable and take it inside to keep the pucker factor to a minimum when you go out for a service?

[@newenglandcoast7121]

You have no idea the joy I get watching Kamp and Pilot since losing my beloved pup! I will rescue another pup in the spring (I have two artificial knees and need a new hip; I also have scoliosis so walking on ice and snow is too dangerous right now). Barron, you crack me up!

[@mamapetecooley7324]

Awesome video! Pilot is adorable and Kamp has become a great big brother. My dogs also reacted to Barron's throat singing. lol

Hey Elsa and Barron I’ve learned something about toilets that I would never have learned before so that was a different but nice pilot sure is growing. It looks like they’re getting along a little better. Thanks for sharing you guys. Be safe and stay warm. I look forward to your next video.♥️🙂🏔️🐾

[@christyhammer218]

Dude…. The google commercial that came on before your video started was amazing. JS. Also, your dogs ears are the best ears I’ve ever seen on a dog.

My dog loved bike rides took her in my back pack just like that do a couple miles let her out run around. Great to see others with lil fur Packbabies

[@ruthkaiser6168]

Happy Happy Family. Both of your baby doggies are so fun together. I just love Pilots ears and her personality she is so cute. Kamp how much do you love your little sister? Isn't she cute. And she sure is growing. Well you both are the best parents ever. Are you thinking about painting the pooper? 🐾🌺🐾💩😊

[@liabjornfot278]

Hi guys! 🐾❄ Love your videos, been following you for a long time, you are awesome & big congrats to your new family member, pure magic 🐾🥰💜 I need to give you a heads up, to carry her like that in your backpack in that position. Is not good for her, she is gonna get probem whith her back, hips and neck and that is gonna come fast. To sit up in a straight up postion, on her bum, is not normal position for a canine. The weight ends up all wrong on her lungs, heart, joints, muscles and bones. Maybe you can get something to pull her in? I´m a veterinarian for over 20 years now & I´m also a breeder for Alaskan Malamute, Leonberger, large breeds, which need extra supervision especially when it comes to joint diseases, which unfortunately are common in all large breeds. So just wanna chip in with som loving advice for you puppy girl 💜 Best regards from Sweden 🌲❄🤗

[@jjohnston7837]

Yep!

[@travelingtophe]

Will you guys have a septic system with the new home?

[@adelacoburn1396]

Hello, Pilot's ears are killin me❣😍🤣🤣. Barron's intro and commentary on the turd pot is hilarious. Lol the dogs in this video awesome. Elsa-Elsa what are you crocheting?? Thank you for another video, stay warm.

Appreciate your review of the Nature's Head. I never quite understood what it was that makes it worth a thousand bucks. You confirmed my suspicions.

Not the greatest snow on earth, like here UTAH :) ...but you guys are awesome snow boarders!

[@patmuller4461]

I´d love to hear some Kamp voiceovers, like that´s my chair, why do I have to walk, leave me in peace, etc. poor Kamp.

[@leighlimongi4606]

Love the pups! I get so excited when u guys post! Thanks!

[@occamsrazor7939]

I'm too old and incontinent for an outside toilet, but it may work if I have a latrine for indoors. Something like I had when I was a child. Trust me. It's a good idea to keep something for indoor emergencies.

[@danataylor8530]

Well thanks to you I won't waste money on a nature's head toilet. I will try the new one you made. The puppies are so adorable. Thanks for sharing your life with me.

[@Pinetree282]

Cut a piece of closed cell foam (backpack sleeping pad) so that it covers the toilet seat. I do have an outhouse so the foam ring “lives” wedged between the studs until I need it. I’m sure you could find an safe spot to keep yours from blowing away.

[@elisabethak9502]

Don’t feel bad, Pilot…we all have run into a glass door a time or two. 😂

[@bunnychristie5498]

Always great to see your videos. Really enjoyed the poo commentary! 😂 “strengthens my mind to be able to sit out and pass a morning turd in the cold”.

[@hbuzzell]

I have a bucket toilet, I use clumping cat litter (I have no place to compost but one day maybe). It is so much easier and cleaner when camping!

[@cindyholt3808]

You two are so great to watch, your fur babies are priceless, have a great New Year, I'll be watching✌

Pilot looks so happy in the snow! bucket toilet seems like a lot less work than the other one.

I am trying out the barefootshoes too! Totally enjoying them. Hope they help you out too!

[@jimboyd3693]

I have been using bucket compost for many years. I recommend a 5 gallon bucket and box enclosure of some type around it. Make a enclosed area with skids to enclose the compost and dump it in there. Leave it for minimum of a year and you're good. You will fill your Garbage bin pretty quickly I'm guessing and they will start to pile up. Check out these humanure handbook.

[@donnataylor980]

Have y'all ever thought about getting a very small shipping container to make a outhouse? That would be awesome. Tyler and Todd have one I didn't know if you watched it. It would be great just like your office

[@robertalynch5433]

I have been using a 7 gallon poo bucket in my RV for years now because I hate the black water chemicals and looking for a place to dump. I use compost from my farm for the dry material and dump everything in a plastic barrel to to cure and reuse when it is totally dry 12 months later. I use a separate pee bucket which can be dumped anywhere on trees.
