Bahaha!!! Love the idea.John61CT said:There should be a chain-jerking emoji
I'll cook, you milk. K?QinReno said:I saw on a video of the van build that they are building custom "composting" toilets for people with vans. Sizing them specifically for the spaces available. I assume they have some standard design, but no idea what it is.
If Moxie disses the incinerating toilet, that's good enough for me. Poo on that. But I like the idea of bringing along a cow, as then you can have fresh milk, and dry out the cow poop and use it for cooking. Moxie has good ideas. In my mind's eye, I can see her cooking over a fire pit in the desert and milking the cow.
Yanno, it seems to me that if we can pick up piles of dog poop either with a pooper scooper or by hand with bags, we **could** apply the same space-age technology to human droppings. Deposit, let dry out in the desert air for a day or two, then pick up and store in a lined bucket until ready to dump down a proper sewer-type receptacle, whether a pit toilet or even a regular toilet, in several flushes, of course.QinReno said:I've seen many piles of poop in desert areas. When I was boondocking on BLM south of Lake Havasu, this woman was living in her car and going out leaving little piles all over the place on top of the ground. It will dry out in the desert and sit there for who knows how long.
I doubt that it is really much of a biohazard once it dries out, but it's extremely unsavory to make no effort whatsoever to be conscientious. Plus, you don't want piles and piles of it all around the areas that are popular boondocking places. That's even grosser than playing with your poop.
Yanno, ya gimme an newer idear. Ya kamp about 100 yarrs away from someone what has one of those big $120,000 RVs and has a couple of big dogs, and ya go empty yur poo bags over near their rig in the night when theyar watching TV. Save money on kitty litter too.Moxadox said:I get particularly disgusted in forest settings when my dog finds yummy "tootsie rolls" tucked under the moss or pine needles. Mmmmmmm.
Now you're gonna have everyone boondocking near a cow pasture.bullfrog said:Then the Ranger looked down where there were two little turds resting on a two foot round cow paddy. I went back to the car as I knew they were gonna need a lot more bags!
Naw, there was no [font=Roboto, arial, sans-serif]double entendre[/font] about it. The issue came up of having a cow along to provide fuel to burn, so ya might as well get milk in the bargain.wanderin.pat said:QinReno:
Is "milking the cow" a euphemism for some OTHER activity?
Just wonderin. Inquiring minds, and all.

In fact, you the guy what started the business with the cow patties.
Good going, Angie, you just made me choke on my spit. [emoji1787]AMGS3 said:^^^ just don't eat corn on the cob the day before this switcheroo plan. Sounds legit to me.

Ummm. HDR, just between you and me, I didn't want to tell the 2 ladies what I was "really" planning to do with the solar cooker. But knowing me, it could be anything at all with barbecue sauce on top. Hush, now.highdesertranger said:boy now I am off topic, no poo in this post.
