As an offgrid person who likes travel I learned to harness the power and freedom of the old magiks.
Embrace the urine bottle and sealed poop bucket, reject modernity.

I think i will stick with my toilet. Thank you tho
Composting toilet?
Nope, trash bag lined portable toilet that gets filled up with cat litter and goes to the dump. Composting toilets are very much a homesteader thing that work in specific scenarios from what I researched, and at that point may as well dig up an outhouse and plant a fruit tree when its filled.
That pot looks like it splashes a lot. 🤮
Look at that new fangled technology. Back in my day, we dug a hole in the ground.
Before or after?
Depends how well we planned it.
Explanation: Before the invention of the flush toilet, the chamberpot was the usual method of 'collecting' and disposing of waste. Better than shitting in a corner of the room (a practice recorded in some poorer urban areas of Europe as late as WW2 😬) and trying to collect and dispose of it later!
And then it goes through the window :D
At least if no one's looking.
I remember a harrowing story about Late Victorian England, wherein they tore down an old apartment building to the (shitty) foundations and attempted to build a new one from scratch... only to find so much waste had been dumped in the immediately surrounding area that the terrain was basically shit-mush that all had to be removed and replaced with actual soil before the new construction could begin. 😬
oh by the gods... I can't even fathom the stench :O
