Ok, I guess I can use the word "inspirational" for this DIY project...? If it works great, that it's useful and that's what matters. Thank you and greetings from Portugal.

Thank you Vitor👍 so nice to get a comment like this😃

[@catherineostrom7575]

It would be nice if you could show us how you built it.

[@JonasSyver]

I understand. There is a short video from when I built it. But I will create a another video explaining the process and add some drawings when I get back to the cabin👍 thank you for the input😄

Some awesome shit you’ve got going there. Kidding apart, looks good.

[@JonasSyver]

Thanks man😂👍

On disposing Number 1, why not dilute it 10:1 parts Water:Urine and use as a fertilizer for your garden? Thank you for sharing your DIY Composting Toilet, 👍and greetings👋from Mexico.🤠

[@JonasSyver]

Thank you. I don’t have a garden right now, but maybe in the future. In my experience the smell starts once you introduce moisture into the mix. And it makes for easier disposal if the bag consists of only «dry» waste.

You can compost the feces/pooh/shit. It takes 3 years before it is usable in the garden and it's fine. The pee/piss/urine is great diluted straight for the garden.

[@JonasSyver]

Yeah, great if you have a setup for composting your solids👍 thanks for the comment😃

[@wadeintoit]

Is that FRP that you wrapped the toilet frame with?

[@JonasSyver]

No. It’s a 2,5mm plastic sheet/plate. Originally used for mounting on drywall behind hospitalbeds etc.

[@denis20alexandru]

Why the strainer for the pee?

[@JonasSyver]

To keep the sawdust and stuff from falling into the bottle👌🏻

[@mobileplayers5008]

i think you forgotten one think. you gotta pee too not just poop.

[@JonasSyver]

The Pee issue is in the video👍

[@lifemyway200]

Did you watch the video? It's fully explained.

[@Roll2Videos]

Nice sh¡ter 😅

[@JonasSyver]

Thank you sir😃

[@RobertMOdell]

Won't your junk hang down and touch the urine diverter? That's gross.

[@JonasSyver]

Well it’s not that close😅 and there are some build up under the seat as well. So there is good clearance. But good for you if it reaches down i guess👍
