    And solar panels and a big battery for electricity. And a good sceptic system so i don’t have to crap in a hole in the ground outdoors 500 feet away from my house. And a good general store in easy driving distance. And a powerful 4x4 vehicle that can get down to the main road even when the giant driveway path is very muddy or covered in 5 feet of snow. And a decent medical facility not too far away so when a health problem arises i don’t lose a limb that could’ve been saved. And a post office not too far away so i can get packages delivered. And and and …

      I’d rather have a store within biking / fat biking / skiing / hiking distance to be less reliant on a car. Maybe some electric mobility option like an e-skidoo / ebike.

      A poo bucket is not nearly as bad as it sounds. (Saw dust and distance keep the smell down.)

      Otherwise, great list.

        Saw dust or whatever, those things stinks. The best part is having people over and mixing all their crap in an enormous bucket 🤢🤮🪣

          I wonder if there’s some sort of oil you can pour over it so the scent molecules can’t escape into the air

            you eat bismuth subgallate and it neutralizes the scent when you digest. it’s for people with missing digestive tracts.

                at least in statesia the brand name (i swear i’m not going hailcorporate, just some people could use some and personal experience it works a hell of a lot better than poopourri) is devrom and it tends to run 20 to 40 usd for 200 pills. OTC, of course.

          I have a quite good experience with these, and was surprised how little they smell (but it was an outside toilet with an incredible view)

            Mine were always indoors, from those old ones with place for two, to modern ones with a sort of spanner to mix it all… They stink in various degrees up to like impossible. Outside it might be totally okay I guess (if it’s not in the winter or the muskitoes are not on a war path).

              Not sure if you have control over it, but the ones I’ve used didn’t even smell when directly smelling over them. Not sure if there was something mixed in there too, to reduce the smell further. The owners used the resulting humus as fertilizer too.

        Wait what? Like you poo in a bucket inside your house?
