DIY Composting Toilet with Urine Diverter (Under $100) // Travel Snacks

[@mayamachine]

Hard wood ash will keep poop from stinking. It takes only a sprinkle. I've used it for years, never see people talk about it. It also keeps away flies.

[@OnlyAlmita]

Where do you find the hard wood ash? 😊thanks

[@debrapaulino918]

I have a large pile of branches and limbs to burn. It will have multiple uses including this one.

[@Fenrires]

Yep, I use this in my van toilet- from the log burner.

[@lynnebarton9277]

Thanks for the very helpful info re urine diverter/ toilet project. I plan on following your directions BUT I have one concern: urine “overspill” into the poop collection area. does it happen and if so how do you deal? additional composting material?

[@tonik9724]

I've tried multiple media's for urine and find that the pine pellet cat litter is the best for soaking and keeping down smell. I can use it all week when I'm out of town. It breaks down into a sawdust consistency, I throw it on my compost pile. No #2.

[@raisajay7563]

I am so glad to see a camping toilet intentionally designed and tested by a woman! The fact that you are real in your explanations of your configuration show that you have given this alot of thought! I really like this setup, and would probably just add a drawer pull so that you do not have to possibly touch the seat to slide the toilet in and out. Great design! 👍🏽

[@conniewhitson1209]

You should put a handle on the front so you're able to pull it out.

[@rainsofhealing]

Was thinking that same thing, no need to put one’s hand around the toilet seat to then pull it out to use it.

[@brendawronek7984]

LOL on the canning funnel. Great idea 👍

[@theresedignard4267]

Putting a little vinegar solution in the pee jar cuts the pee odor. Using vinegar solution is used to clean up dog pee so a dog no longer smells urine. :)

[@fjtalleyauthor2242]

I've thought about coloring a clear container with a light blue color so that the liquid appears green rather than yellow. Just a bit more stealth.

[@raisajay7563]

@@fjtalleyauthor2242, I think I watched a video where someone put blue coloring in their vinegar solution, so they add the stealth coloring every time they spray the urine diverter or just sprayed right into the container to control odor directly.

[@RJsadventures]

We are one of them Folks, that spent $1,000 on a Natures Head. We have had it for 4 years and we are full time. We HATE IT,! Worse design I have seen. So hard to clean and way to many little spots for nasty to hide. We ended up taking the thing that mixes it out, and we went with just putting a bag in. Then we basically do the same as you do, fill, remove, throw away and repeat! We are currently converting a van, just like yours, we are gonna build the same thing you did. Thanks for sharing…

[@DL404]

Do you have the fan vent ? Does it make a difference ?

Cedar shavings from a pet store or farm supply store are the best and last the longest while wicking pooped moisture. Three years on and counting and it's still the best.

[@allonesame6467]

Love your set up! Here's a thought: Place a few pieces of lump charcoal (not briquets) in the pee bottle to reduce odors. Biochar charged with pee is a wonderful addition to compost pile or your garden.

[@coyotedreams3902]

Just watched this for like the 4th time as we begin building out another van. Hands down, you have made the best video on DIY van toilet out there. Thank you for talking about all this stuff! Hope you're well!

[@Justaskme781]

I have been watching a lot of these DIYs lately. This one makes the most sense. I don't know about anyone else if my pee doesn't come out in the straight measured stream. So yes this canning funnel makes the most sense if anything I've seen so far. Plus the stainless steel! That is absolutely a must now

[@TheRealGypsyJane]

I've been using a canning funnel for several years now. They work far better than anything else i tried.

[@russelltucker1066]

I like you have seen a lot of the other videos. I have not seen any whom used the canning funnel.( GENIUS ) Keep on keeping on. Peace Out, Russell

[@briteidea08]

Cat litter was my friend. It can be your friend also. Learned this while taking care of my dad. You can also line that can with the portable toilet liners. Most have some sort of absorbent at the bottom. Keep up with the good work though.

[@labgirlreed]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The best demonstration of a urine diverter for a composting toilet! Thanks for the specifics....you're right, most of the videos are geared towards male anatomy.

[@travelsnacks]

You’re so welcome. Glad it was helpful!

[@jannezack]

Loved the video. One thing I might add is a handle so I don’t have to pull it out with your hand inside the ring. I know you keep it clean but just the thought makes me cringe. But I live your ideas. I bought a reliance potty (plastic bucket inside a plastic shell with a ring) and I divert urine inside it using a fancy oil filter that is not as elongated as a typical funnel. Works nicely!

[@michelleparish7313]

OMG!! I know this video is a year old and you may not ever see this but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I lived in my van for most of 5 years with just a bucket (no sense of smell and no social life) that I had to find discrete ways to empty. I knew there had to be a better way. I looked into composting toilets and, like you, said nope. The whole issue with separation spacing has always stopped me from building my own. Now I'm on the verge of moving back into my van and this is a life changer!

[@arturoalcantar2669]

VERY KOOL!!!... TRY HORSE STALL PINE PELLETS. THEIR $6 FOR A 40 LB BAG AT TRACTOR SUPPLY..I USE IT INSTEAD OF CAT LITTER..IT LASTS FOREVER WITH NO CRAP OR URINE SMELL! IT SMELLS LIKE A SAWMILL.

[@danielheller6430]

First of all thank you. Excellent presentation. Have been using pretty much the same set up for several years. With a few differences. I am an old guy so sitting down and getting up can be kind of tricky. Built mine with legs to have more height. Rig started out as a cube van so have more room. Use a bigger stainless metal funnel to deal with splashing. I know gross, but part of life for us old farts. Pounded the funnel into the correct shape to fit my set up and rigged up a strap system to attach it. Also I used an elongated oval toilet seat. Just wait. When one gets older and puts on a bit of weight the oval toilet seat is the only way to go. I use cedar mulch for poop topping. Has good absorption and eliminated using any nasty smell cover uppers, inexpensive, and available at any home improvement and/or garden store. Usually comes in large bags so will have to figure on storage. That is when some family my be of good use? Lastly for number one I use a one gallon glass container that happened to come with a plastic duo handle attached around the lid opening. Easy in and out. And lastly, congratulations to your parents for raising such an insightful, courageous daughter.

[@paultoschi]

Because we empty it into a composting bin, we'll use compostable bags. Don't like the idea of putting poop in a public trash can. How about not using a plastic bag and dumping the poop down a regular public toilet? Then rinse the container with a hose outside and fertilize the lawn.

[@chuckarnone3452]

Cat litter works well for soaking up the urine in your bucket. As a trucker that is what I use which also helps with odor until I can stop to discard. As for poo I try to use public bathrooms unless I can’t get to one in time. Either way the cat litter helps. Love your potty set up! 🌼

[@heavenbnd]

Genius!! Thank you. I have been working on my minivan for months and today I went for a test run simply to a pleasant local park,, ,read, took a nap to test out my bed and came home. I had put in a bedside gramma blue porta potty with arms to help me with my bad knees but this video helped me with dealing with the liquid and solids. I lowered the potty to its lowest point since I have a low top Sienna Toyota and covered it with a twin black sheet to camouflage it and put a tray to use it as a bedside table. I will continue trial runs until I am satisfied with its configuration. I bought a yard reclining chaise lounge from Big Lots and added padding for the bed. I sleep in a recliner since I have acid reflux and rarely have a problem since i started doing that. Love your frank, no nonsense approach. MANY THANKS.

[@fbr65]

You can also purchase a urine diverter that’s a bit larger from DIY Composting Toilets. We used it in our DIY composting toilet. Works great for me and my husband. And it is made in the USA!

[@livinginthenow]

Everyone has a different solution. Mine is a 5 gallon bucket, biodegradable bags, and pine pellets. The reason that so many people use a 5 gallon buckets is because they can typically hold the weight of a person, so building a box isn't necessary. As for the "bag of liquid" problem, I use pine pellets from Tractor Supply in my toilet. They do double duty: 1) They soak up the liquid and eliminate the odor, and 2) They cover the solids, thereby preventing the odor from escaping. I tend to change bags whenever I do number 2, and dispose of the bag as soon as is convenient.

[@sandrathomas631]

Try pine pellets from tractor supply. It will absorb the pee with no smell until you empty it. Not sure about the poo. Pellets are cheaper than using stuff like cat litter

[@tdk1246]

Same conclusion I came to, $1k was too much for a toilet. I went with the Johnny Composter setup for $150 on my boat. I use Compost Sure, wood cat litter and pine shavings as my cover material. Been using it all summer, works great and smells better than the marine head.

[@jackrabbit5047]

Lots of good ideas here. I might build one for my small sailboat. Maybe put some caulking between the seat and the platform? I think the key to not having smells (if you're not dumping the contents frequently) is to have a small 12 V fan constantly venting outside (to dry the feces, which will then not smell). Marine chandleries sell a nice little solar vent with a small fan that would work well for this purpose.

[@_GntlStone_]

almost any tiny computer fan would do. The key is finding a quiet one as the small ones usually have the highest whine.

[@heatherrenton2086]

Been living in my van for almost 5 years. Prior to full time vanliving I camped pretty much in every type of RV situation but had always loved the simplicity of my tent ⛺️ and or sleeping in my SUV. I have a portable separating toilet that I use similarly to your biffy. However mine is awkward to set up each time I need it. I only use it for #2 although the separation of liquid from solids is a must in my experience. A small funn type design for women "Sheewee" kinda device works well. I use a Nalgene bottle to catch the urine. It is so simple to empty, easy, sanitary no muss no fuss. The Nalgene bottle and the pee funnel take up so little space. I clean both every use. Fast and easy. I have made a study of various portable composting biffy's. Your's is perfect. There are few on the market that might suit my needs but $$$ cost prohibitive. I want to be able to quickly clean it and tuck it away, easily. Also I want it to be ready to use without alot of prep time. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

They are not building a Flippin VIKING ORBITER. Your deadpan,witty delivery just cracks me up. Chinese companies replicate German engineered Diesel Heaters like an ESPAR for $200. AIRHEAD & NATURE'S HEAD are still selling fancy $1,000 plastic Poo & Pee buckets and have cornered the market. I believe there are companies that do sell a urine diverter for DIY Potties (Urine the Money). Be safe on the road. Happy Trails,phil

[@BankruptGreek]

tbh there is a lot of specialized components that they have to make, plus a lot of sketchy rnd to make one as reliable as theirs. There a lot more features of nature's head that this simple solution omits. but honestly somewhere like $400-$500 would be more acceptable imo

[@immortalsofar5314]

Nice! I am starting out with a simple chemical toilet but wanted to work on a DIY version rather like yours. Like coffee grounds, you said. Hmm.

Being a guy, I will have to adapt it to avoid being big chief pees-on-seat.

[@walkstheman98]

The intention of adding the coir or saw dust or adding anything like that is to dry out "the stuff" real fast so you don't have to smell it all the time, kinda like cats do in a litter box ^-^ so it helps for more than just compost. Totally jealous of this tho

You go girl! Literally! Lol and love your Dad and Mom! They are great people!

[@carolhewett3756]

Girl, not everybody has a sexy, competent father like you to help build a toilet! Love the idea. I would apply contact paper to the top of the wooden box to facilitate cleaning. You can also purchase a separator for a few bucks on Amazon. I compost with fine horse pine shavings into a nursing home bedside toilet. No odor. I have a rural cabin for further composting outdoors.. But that's not suitable for traveling in a van. Urine mixed with 10 parts water (no soap) can be used to fertilize ornamental plants but not vegetables.

[@low-costgearbudgettour714]

Nice work. I looked at the prices of composting toilets and I had a similar reaction. (no way!) I'm pretty handy so I think I can make one for a fraction of $1000. We're planning to live in a yurt in the mountains of Mongolia so we can definitely use compost for a vegetable garden. They also sell commercial composting toilets here too but for about $280. Still that's kind of steep. I've thought about just using buckets and bottles (or just going outside on our land) and we may do that at first but it'd be nice to have a proper indoor toilet. Especially since it gets to 40 below in winter.

I've used Pine Pellets from Tractor supply for our pee bucket. Half a hand full in that little container would be enough. The pellets absorb the liquid so it won't slosh and the pine keeps it smelling fresh. The pellets are used in horse stalls. When I first started, I tested it for like two weeks in a 5 gal bucket with a lid, used a small trash bag, put enough pellets to just cover the bottom. Used it for like a week, then left it for like two weeks covered. Opened it up and I was amazed that it DID NOT stink!!! check it out!!!
