    Portable bidet

    I am wildly allergic to baby wipes, and had to come up with something better. When I was shopping for my portable usb shower, The Big A suggested a portable usb bidet. I clicked, and read the reviews. The tears were running down my leg. I proceeded to check out all the options. Then, they were...

    Dealing with potty issues...

    I have a two gallon bucket inside of a 3 gallon. Lids and liners for both. I have no problems with odors. The seal is more important than anything else, in my book. And home. lol

    How Much Smell

    That's hilarious! I never thought of that. I checked one for size, and it would have to be cut to fit the 12" rim of the 5 gallon buckets, but there's one that looks sturdy enough to do it. At $4.15, I'm going to see if it would work.  Thanks for the idea.  Oz

    Waste free lifestyle, what does it look like?

    There are a lot of things that I do for reducing waste that I don't often see discussed. I have no chemicals in my home rather than baking soda, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, and a biodegradable, unscented dishwashing liquid. All those things replace detergents, bleach and...

    llaundromats rated as highly germy locations

    A quick spray with vinegar will kill the bacteria that causes odor in clothes that you'd like to wear again. I use it as my deodorant, too. Dishwashing liquid has enzymes in it to dissolve food, so is an excellent way to wash clothes. Detergent is not needed. I haven't used it for years...

    disposable gloves....added to take along checklist

    A soap foamer next to my sink, with a small bowl of water, and an old t-shirt make up my 'dirty work' station. The foam gets most of it off, without using the water, a quick rinse and wipe, and I'm good to go again. I never use plastic gloves for pre-digested food. They let you forget that the...

    Anyone use Bokashi?

    What saddens me is that I just got here, saw a post that interested me, and find that the OP is no longer posting. S/he got jumped on, and whoosh, gone. I was hoping for better.

    Anyone use Bokashi?

    What do you do with egg shells that isn't 'wasting' them? How about the seeds from peppers? If you eat, you have waste. Bokashi is a great way to deal with food waste. OP was just asking a question, looking for fellow composters. You seem not to be. Broad generalizations and judgmental...

    From tiny house on wheels to tiny teardrop as a snowbird. Woot!

    No, I'm keeping my THOW, but hitting the road with a home-made teardrop made by a retired engineer who wanted to see the lower 48. When he was done, he passed it on to me, so I can go to the van-build in November. I'll be bringing my power tools and sewing machine for various projects to help on...

    Learning all I can

    Hi, Bonnie, I was looking at a Forester as a step up from my previous set-up of a hatchback and a tent. It looks very doable. With all the food, bedding, and cookware, I wasn't able to fit in the car, so the tent was great. A 3-4 oerson dome that provided enough shelter for a bed, clothing...
