  • I have that book in storage, soon after septic is installed I plan to get my stuff here, need the tools to build.

    We have been planning on a composting toilet in the house.

    The septic will be used for the kitchen sink (it’s considered black water here) but everything else can be used for plants if we use safe soaps for the liquids and compost the solids long enough.



  • I have been planning to homestead for close to 20 years, and just jumped into the lifestyle 2 months ago.

    My wife and I are living in a tiny SUV with our cat. We have a fridge, twin bed, warm blankets, plenty of food and water. We have an outhouse tent for our business. It has a $4 bucket with a $15 toilet lid. I added a container and a funnel in there for liquids, and we use bags for the solids. Works for us.

    We have explored the state and went to some really cool places, until we found land we purchased.

    As soon as the septic is installed we can legally live in an RV, we can start a compost pile, start a garden, get chickens, and try being as self sufficient as we can.

    I also want to make and design my own off grid things, for example making a wood gasifier. Then in an emergency we can run gas things from wood (generator, truck, tractor, etc).

    I plan to share my experience on YouTube once we have an RV, hoping I can help people to live a more sustainable life.
