Reply to: Review: The Humanure Handbook wants you to think of poop as a resource Posted January 14, 2022

Another vendor of naturally composting toilets, with info and videos on website, is https://www.c-head.com/ This is a similar concept to Lovable Loo, but adds to the box a mechanism for mixing the poo and sawdust after you go. It costs several hundred dollars, but there is enough info on website that people could probably also make their own. These guys invented their composting toilet as a better solution for their boat, compared to what was available. Other customers have used them in RV’s and similar.

An additional option for diversifying the home supply of stored water is to buy the boxes of 24 12 oz CANS of water, that are advertised as having 50 year shelf life. Here is the link for buying them on Amazon (though other vendors sell them also): https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Can-Premium-Emergency-Drinking/dp/B00M9O9HTK/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=canned+water&qid=1628221603&sr=8-5 I have very limited storage space, and these can be slipped behind the books in my bookcase, or into a nook behind the bed, etc. I also have 3 of them in my (light weight) bug out bag — they are a good size to drink the entire contents at one sitting, and they have pull-tabs to open, like soda cans. I should comment that the processing of these apparently includes a high-heat treatment, and as a result of that, occasionally these cans come out of the box with dents in them; however, I think this is harmless. Also, this is much more expensive than using tap water; however, one does not need to mess with replacing the water every two years, and that is a significant advantage.

Another vendor that sells civilian grade MRE’s (and seems quite legitimate) is https://theepicenter.com They sell separate components of the MRE, so you can choose which entrees and snacks you want. Here is the link for entrees: https://theepicenter.com/mre-meals-ready-to-eat/mre-entrees-sides.html
