[quote:Lowkey Cyberpunk:MV8zOTYyNTk1Xzc0NDUwOTE5X0JBNTZCMTJC] [quote:Pooka:MV8zOTYyNTk1Xzc0NDQ4MjY3X0U2MkVFNDU1] Very smart post. Nightsoil on gardens - NOOOO definitely not. We must keep certain things well away from our food crops. I am not crazy about using human urine, but may consider it at some point. Better to have a gallon of Alaska Fish Fertilizer, which will last a very long time because it is diluted so greatly at time of use, and does a miraculous job!. Human soil must be contained and removed from any area near people, water, garden. Some say it can be burned and I would recommend this - if kept separate from urine, the bags could be opened for brief periods to dry - but well away from everything. Better is to have a good roaring fire, then toss on the bag and all. After children are in bed and after the fireside chat is done for the evening. Burning would be ideal disposal. I would prefer it go on a fire made for the purpose, well away from the fire used for cooking, socializing, etc. Make a pit for garbage burning, and at a time when that fire is very busy, burn the waste as well. With the prevailing wind in the direction opposite living quarters. [/quote] To offer a contrarian view, there is a way to take nightsoil and make it suitable as a fertilizer - by composting it. There's a book about it called The Humanure Handbook which you can read for free at the link below. http://humanurehandbook.com/contents.html You can buy the book at that link, too. There's also the concept of methane digesters that treat the nightsoil anaerobically, creating methane that can be used for cooking and yielding a byproduct that can be composted using the method above. This is a much more technical solution that requires significant labor and materials to make. [/quote]

Continuation of another thread of wonderful people with the best ever ideas for practical prepping even for those with little money.
We discuss power outages including CME and EMP, heating and cooking methods, first aid, foods; we run disaster scenarios to see if we know what to do.
This is probably the only prepping thread a person would need, whether long-time prepper here to share, or newbie prepper here to learn and everyone in between.
Welcome!! Join us! Learn! Teach! Enjoy!!
