What's in My Composting Toilet?! Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument!

[@warreneisenburg5649]

I just found you by accident and I really like your videos. I'm 73 and I'm a Astro Van nomad, and this is my first smart phone. My niece is going to show me how to use it when I get to Illinois in July. I'm seeing so many good folks who are nomads on my phone and she is going to teach me how to connect with folks on my phone. Thans for your videos as I know it's hard work to produce them.

[@Grambo1946]

I think it is truly amazing that the Saguaro are 75 to 100 years old before they put out their first arm.

[@FayeCalder]

How beautiful with the best music to compliment the organ pipe cactus. Yes, sad the house isn’t functional anymore. Creeks are one of my favorites. Nice walk and beautiful lay of land. Beautiful sunset. So good to see you Bex! Safe Travels dear one! MommaFaye

[@Jckojcko]

We miss you and your videos. This makes mom and I sad. But if you are happy and doing something you Love then we are happy for you.

[@dlmac5935]

Bex, you make such amazingly beautiful videos, but they are infrequent! Can you turn out more?

[@madeinmichigan6773]

Hi Bex😊 Just checking to see if your ok? You haven't posted for a long time now and I just hope everything is going well? Could you please let your subs know your alright? I know I'm not the only one that's worried. Praying for you and God Bless. Michelle. 💖

[@rickanderson1398]

Your videos are wonderful. Always love hearing your personal narration on all the different areas you've decided to check out. Very informative. Stay safe Bex Cat-herder.

[@Jckojcko]

I loved the Pipe Organ Cacti, never saw it before. My favorite thing is the time lapse!

[@Jckojcko]

Oh, and they had me watch 2 commercials during your video, hope you get paid for both, I sat through them!

[@bevn362]

I really enjoy your videos. You take time to produce the content and it shows when we watch them. Peaceful to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you!

[@happygolucky7763]

Love your channel. Thanks for all the work and effort. The plural for “cactus” is “cacti.” The Cholla cactus is also known as the “jumping cactus.” You’re right they are very dangerous, and hurt like hell.

[@NomadicPhotoSafariAdventures]

You always find the coolest locations! I’m jelly! ...Take care girl👍

[@windhorse4straveler647]

I do so love the night sky sequence. If I could, I would probably slee p on top of the Casita just to watch it all night. The hike was spectacular. Must have been a lonely life as a miner and rancher. Homestead seems well built.

[@dominickbundy6429]

I love love all desert scenes,and what you provided is superb.Stay safe, Be careful, and Keep on rolling

[@sjp52047]

You are always helping us understand... We love the Bex!!! Regards, Solomon

[@BexCatherder]

Thanks! :-)

[@eyewonder3052]

Really nice area! beautiful starry night! 👍

[@kawaikui]

Thank you Ms. Bex :)) Beautiful time lapse of the night sky and breathtaking sunset!

[@BexCatherder]

Thanks so much!

[@kodeywhitewolf5756]

Awesome sunset Loved the open sky for all those stars

[@tommaples7787]

Amazing how green it is. Love to watch your videos with a cup of joe in the morning.

[@user-vm3yd2rp7f]

The way how you got the title written, I thought the Organ Pipe Cactus Monument was in your composting toilet.LOL . Good idea for the coffee grounds. I used to use them in my garden. I have to agree with some of your followers, I too would like to see you with a dog. Safe travels -"C"

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Thanks for letting me tag along!

[@lebon2002be]

Bex, please, come back to KZbin, we miss your videos.

[@christinag2725]

Thanks Bex, I always enjoy watching your videos 😎

[@a.swifty1081]

Beautiful photography in a beautiful place. Thanks for the info about border crossing, etc. very interesting.

[@cathienelson5978]

Friday, July 20th: Bex•••missing you even more, by now. **get back in touch, when you are able. We certainly do miss you big bunches!! Love & ((Hugs)).

[@madeinmichigan6773]

Cathie Nelson Hi 😊 I'm just seeing if you know why Bex stopped filming so the sudden? I just seen on another video she was at the Girabaldi days in Oregon with Bob Wells group and Fulltinyhouse so I was just wondering why she stopped making videos? Have a great day 😊

[@judesmoria]

The time lapse portion so amazing!!thanks for sharing

[@gabriellagutierrez8443]

How beautiful is that... !! =) wow look at those breath taking star's! !!

[@maggiefriedrichs777]

Wow, somehow I missed this video. Great to see you as always and I love those cacti.

[@Gracie.Paulina]

This area is very interesting; never seen anything so nice. Thanks

[@KristoferTravelsHomesteading]

I used to buy those blocks for my snakes bedding when I used to have a snake. I would have to moisten it actually to break it up because the snake needed a little bit of moisture. I've been debating on doing a compost toilet. looks pretty easy. miss you.

[@BexCatherder]

Miss you too! Love my composting toilet. Works great for me.

[@pupcamper58]

Thanks Bex, another great video. 🌵😎

[@BexCatherder]

Thanks for watching!! :-)

[@tanyaromero5253]

I really appreciate the history and info on the area you always include. So interesting! Love your videos

[@bb-hx2fw]

Love your videos! So gorgeous and nice music! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@kennethmoertel3949]

Another informative video Bex. Love the camera work. :)

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you very much. :-)

[@theoldfarmerswife5915]

I LOVED Organ Pipe. We stayed in the campground, I think it was $7. Very nice, but crowded. They have a dump station, fresh water, really nice restrooms & solar showers. As newbies, we learned very quickly, don't take your shower after sunset. The water & desert are quite cold at night, in February 😜

[@BexCatherder]

You must be retired! I'm pretty sure it would be more than $7 for me. LOL

[@robinengland5799]

Great video Bex! Beautiful location! ThAnks to your experiences with your composting toilet i am going to install one in our 17 ft Casita also! They just seems so much easier to deal with! I am saving now to buy one! (Never thought I would be saving for a toilet, how our priorities change! Ha ha ) Thanks for sharing you experience with the Casita!

[@mrbottomfeeder]

Bex super high quality video. Thank you A+++

[@jojoberrypie6580]

You're looking great, and awesome video too. hope you are well.

[@foxxgirl7908]

I love the wY u capture the smallest things.

[@davidhinnant9345]

Good to see ya Bex. Beautiful place.

[@eddiefresno7891]

Great video my friend

[@ccantu4593]

Hi there welcome back I hadn't seen your show for a while I know you will disappeared for a little bit I hope you keep making videos they're very beautiful

[@elainemcnary2788]

Bex I love following your journey. Your talent and love of the land is contagious. Your video quality is amazing, what camera do you use? I think these immigration check points within our states is very disheartening. I understand them at the border crossings, but within the states, it’s way to much government control. 👍🍀🎃

[@woodwoman9130]

Beautiful place thanks for sharing🐾

[@BexCatherder]

Thank for watching! :-)

[@Allen-yv3ue]

I see you use the string LED lights(battery), We also us one in our Casita toilet over night-Not to bright works great. Thanks again Bex----- A+ -----

[@BexCatherder]

Yes, love those lights. They are perfect in the evening when I don't want the bright overhead light in my eyes. :-)

[@pennylee6569]

Beautiful cactus love yah

[@thatcampingchic2414]

Miss your videos, hope your hand healing well. 😎

[@christinetaylor5726]

It's been a good while since you've shown the inside of your trailer. I am considering buying a 13' Casita & would love to see the inside since you have lived in it for awhile now. By the way...beautiful area. Great video.

[@spottedranch4810]

Never saw desert so green gorgeous. Been to az many times, great vlog

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you!

[@markreynolds3850]

Nice video Bex!

[@carolynnunes3922]

Such beautiful scenery! The rain makes the desert bloom! I loved the blooming ocotillo cactus and the end of your video! Thanks for sharing your little hike, and the composting with us! A lovely video, Bex!

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you!

[@juanitabrown9602]

Beautiful part of the country... Ajo and Why are in one of my favorite parts of Arizona. Thanks, Bex, for sharing more about a composting toilet. Coffee grounds smell wonderful where ever they are. Your Casita-profile night scenes are the BEST!

[@BexCatherder]

This is also one of my favorite places. Really enjoy this area!

[@barb736]

Very cool..& great info

[@ElsaRhae]

I hadn't ever noticed your back window opened up! That's so handy!! This was another excellent, informative video. What a beautiful SPOT!!

[@BexCatherder]

Yes, I love it! They only put that type of window in for a few years. Most of the back windows in Casitas don't open.

[@williamcarr1148]

Interesting,thanx Bex😃

[@rhondalyn100]

Love the peppy music and beautiful views...thank you! :-)

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you!

[@miloryan1]

I enjoy your videos Bex.

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you!! :-)

[@kirstensmith9454]

Thank You Bex, you are one of my favourites to watch. Hope to be on the road, soon myself. Maybe we will cross paths one day. Love the quality work, Thanks again :)

[@SB-000]

Good idea putting coffee grounds in the toilet!

[@BexCatherder]

It was actually my friend Randy's suggestion. But I also thought it was an excellent idea.

[@ELYMIG]

Bex, Two months already... where are you?? Are you ok??

[@tinae.2449]

Where are you Bex??? haven't heard from you in awhile. i hope all is okay with you and your family. keep us posted please. hope to hear from you soon.

[@hermes6587]

I love Organ Pipe, nice video. Great idea adding coffee grounds to your composting toilet, we will have to try it in ours. I am interested to know, do you have any issues with toilet paper and the coffee filter not completely decomposing and hanging up on the agitator? Keep up the nice videos.

[@roxanneharding9767]

What a beautiful place. I love the cactus. Great info on the composting toilet. Thx Bex

[@trevordaniel61]

Bex , where are you ? do hope your OK ...

[@judyg.1518]

Thanks for sharing! I also have a c-head compost toilet, that was the best investment I made. The liquids are also a good fertilizer, after diluted. Best to you and your travels, wish I was there!

[@BexCatherder]

I agree! So glad to have my C-Head composting toilet. Makes boondocking possible!

[@lustraveller717]

It's so beautiful in the spring. Love the stream and all the greenery. Nice video, Bex!

[@BexCatherder]

Yes, it's a beautiful place in the spring.

[@Avise50]

Beautiful time lapse and scenery. You are my favorite !

[@howardlunsford3140]

Hello Bex how you doing good I hope

[@iveyivey1298]

Haven't heard from you in awhile how is everything going, check in for your viewers would be nice to hear from you ?

[@CombatDoc54]

Just FYI, you can add a couple tablespoons of RidX once a week or so to help speed up composting.

[@BexCatherder]

My compost is pretty dry. Not sure if that would help.

[@laudalady61]

Bex, I just love your videos!

[@BexCatherder]

Thanks so much!

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

So beautiful! I have lots to see next winter 🌞 Let me know if you are coming to Utah 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@BexCatherder]

This is a really wonderful place. Definitely, recommend a visit.

[@denaredford6701]

Love the scenery , it’s like desert heaven .😎😍

[@MrEroshan]

Another great video. Do you still like the C-head? That is the one I'm most interested in due to size a,d the ability to use an external urine diverter right out of the box. With two of us using it I would like to use one gray tank for urine.

[@servicedoglydia503]

What a beautiful area!!

[@cinnamon--girl]

Real pretty scenery Bex; thank you!

[@BexCatherder]

It was really amazing! :-)

[@lostcreek163]

Well thanks again for bring back good memories. Did you do the Bull Pasture trail? It was a good one. about 3mile loop as remembered.

[@BexCatherder]

I haven't done that trail yet, but it's on my list.

[@joelhill4107]

Really nice video Bex! Those cacti are really cool! Like the way you did the time lapse at night with the stars and the sun rising. How many million miles do you have on that trailer? Wow, you have been dragging that around a while! I like it, though could be a little higher for you by the looks of things!! Thanks for sharing Bex!

[@BexCatherder]

Not sure how many miles are on it, but I'm sure I put many thousands. :-)

[@SadlyKaren]

I do love your videos. Very fun to watch and informative! Always look forward to your next one.

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you very much!

[@jasonaustin1038]

Amazing colors

[@BexCatherder]

It is so amazing. So much beauty there.

[@ritamariefromsc9356]

You seem very comfortable, but aren't you afraid to be out there all by yourself not knowing just what you may encounter.....and at night, how can you sleep out in the boonies alone? I want to do this, but I'm not sure I could be isolated without fear. Any advice or informational comforting words.....You also mention the guys cutting the wood. Are you actually traveling with others? I was hoping to find groups traveling together and boondocking, getting to know others and if not traveling always together, regular meeting places at times. Does that happen other than the get togethers for RVers who have the same bran?

[@katja7454]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[@BexCatherder]

:-)

[@davidmurling4252]

Do you think you will ever get a larger trailer where you can stand up in?

[@creativehearts7127]

Cool cacti...very beautiful there....love it...:)

[@BexCatherder]

It's a really wonderful place to visit. :-)

[@johncorbett5827]

Fantastic, amazing and beautiful and the same for the video.... ;)

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you!

[@JeffErdmann]

Awesome video quality and scenery. What type of camera are you using? Happy Trails

[@BexCatherder]

Hi Jeff! I'm using a Canon S-120. It's just a simple point-and-shoot camera but gets the job done. :-)

[@ritamariefromsc9356]

For those of us who live on the East coast, never having been to the Midwest or West, if you could tell us where these pretty places you are in are actually located, it would be appreciated. Not their names, but the states and close by cities. Thanks !

[@thatcampingchic2414]

Great video. Be safe out there, I wish you were ready for a puppy or a little doggie to keep you company and to keep you safe. Much love😎

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you!

[@mlipscomb3232]

That time lapse doe...

[@vanderhoof5701]

Beautiful country for sure. Besides the rock that looks like an eagle, I see a bearded man's face on the rock at the peak at 2:47. How is the trailer frame holding up?

[@BexCatherder]

Frame seems to be fine. But I definitely need to keep my eye on it! ;-)

[@alvarogameros5367]

Hi Vex.... Are you still making videos for your channel?

[@Bricklinsv1970]

Your so cool.

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! :-)

[@anitaknight9457]

i have been following you on your travels the whole way and have enjoyed it. i am 69 years old, own a 17ft casita but do not get to travel much. seems like every time i plan a trip it gets cancelled. love your travels. keep it up.

[@setting3397]

Love waching youre vlogs much love from zwitserland

[@BexCatherder]

Thank you! :-)

[@tinaperez9756]

Hi Bex, I've watched your videos in the past and you had your little dog with you. I noticed the last few I've watched don't include your dog. I hate to ask, but do you still have your little dog?

[@iveyivey1298]

beautiful landscape

[@BexCatherder]

It's very beautiful!!

[@12053mike]

Loved the night time lapse! Question: Do you compost both urine and solids? How often do you have to empty your toilet? And where can you do it?

[@karinhart489]

Mike Rafferty See her original video, she separates the solids from liquid.

[@BexCatherder]

If I use my toilet regularly, then I need to empty it about every 3 weeks. If I'm in a national forest or BLM land that allows it, I sometimes dig a few catholes and bury it. But if that is not an option, I just put it in a garbage bag and throw it away.

[@12053mike]

Bex Cat-herder Glad it's working out for you. Using a cover material seems to make more sense to me than flush toilets. Water is pretty precious when boondocking.

[@justrog12]

Bexs!

[@BexCatherder]

Roger!

[@cookies4three]

❤️

[@mten8965]

👍😎

[@Japhill75]

The colour is stunning. I honestly have an issue we’re if I see a cactus I want to have a little poke at its spikes. Silly I know..! Your casita is a tardis. No way there is a bathroom in their.

[@BexCatherder]

Not just a bathroom, but a kitchen and bedroom too! :-)

[@Japhill75]

Bex Cat-herder well I knew about the bedroom and kitchen..! Lol I know I’m silly enough to poke a cactus 🌵 but...!

[@lindathompson6678]

Smelling like coffee is the better alternative! Lol

[@BexCatherder]

Sure is! :-D
