The Big and Dirty Questions about Composting Toilets 

To anyone considering this kind of lifestyle this is an amazing video. Tons of relevant information put forth in a professional and entertaining manner. Bloody well done.

This video made me a lot more comfortable with the idea of a composting toilet.

Thank you very much. This was the biggest problem i was facing with my tiny home and you have made me comfortable enough to go ahead with my project. Thank you again.

Hi Mr. & Mrs. "Wynns", just wanted to thank you for your great video about this "socially sensitive" subject. I was impressed by your honesty and by answering every issues/questions that I may have about composting toilets and then some. Your video productions are excellent and your credit/signs/written summary excellent for engineered-minds like mine that cannot help to take notes and data. Thank you again for the all the research, time, and effort you are sharing for the success of the RV community, Ciao, L (QC, CAN and ME, USA)

Thanks guys! Now, I have to figure out how I can adapt it to our little Casita trailer, out boat, and as guest bathroom in the lower floor of our house. The composting toilet is a game changer. Your presentation is a great way to help people understand the workings and benefits of an often avoided but necessary subject (and equipment). I learned more from your presentation than from dozens of other sites that seem to skirt around the more awkward questions that everyone wants and needs to know. Again, Many thanks

One of the best rv info videos on the web. Thank you two very much for taking the time to put this video together.

"Composters" have truly improved since we installed one in our first camp in the woods. I thank you both for your video and the humor you shared to present the information. I am looking at a marine application now in my new home in the Republic of the Philippine Islands as I plan to cruse the many rivers. You folks have helped calm the nerves of my "first officer" who was not so sure about this technology.

I'm sold! My husband and I will be living in a Class A RV by the end of the year and you guys have us both totally convinced that this toilet is the way to go. It will definitely be one of our first upgrades! THANK YOU for your channel it has been immensely helpful in preparation!

thanks. I am slowly trying to introduce the idea of composting toilets in my local community. I am a structural engineer that works with several "green" contractors. They have done composting toilets, solar lights, solar swamp coolers, entire off-grid homes. the composting toilet offers one of the most useful infrastructure benefits as it reduces load to existing sewer treatment.

...you folks are delightful... you took an icky subject and made it informative, and entertaining... you've given a new meaning to "GO PROS"...

Made it through the whole thing and I don't even have a composting toilet. Any time a couple gets together to talk poo, I'm listening. Can't wait to see what you'll turn the crank on next. Thanks!

Good info. Thanks. But I just wondered the perspective of a women during her menstrual cycle?

Just wanted to thank you! I was looking all over for certain answers about the composting toilet, and you were the only ones so far that had helped answer every one of them. Happy New Years!

Thank you both so much! This was extremely helpful!

Most informative video on composting toilet I've seen! Thanks guys! Answered alot of my questions!!

I’ve recently been watching videos of tiny houses and I genuinely was wondering how these toilets worked. You answered all the questions I had!

THANK YOU! This information really helps me solve a problem in a house with only one bathroom, on a slab. Whew! Off I go to look at toilets.

Love your vid and way of making the idea attractive. Learned from that! We have been living in a yurt for years and my husband and son made a wooden composting toilet, and I wouldn't change it for a "normal"toilet for anything! And the humanure it produces is of great quality! Never managed to explain that to anyone, though....... Thx for showing!

This was by far the most informative video I've ever seen on this subject!

Best toilet video I have ever seen. I'm going to start saying, "I have to go take a solid."

I'm really glad that I found this video, as I have had many questions about composting toilets and the two of you answered every one. I am now sold :)

The information shared and the presentation are so greatly appreciated. Can't imagine why, if cost and installation are not deal breakers, would anyone choose to continue the black tank hassles? Speaking as a couple preparing for fulltime RVing you guys have been a great resource! Thank you so very much for deciding to become advocates both living the life and assisting others in their planning and application. Highest blessings to you both and looking forward to sitting around a fire with you one day!

Just found you two. First, you guys are way to funny and easy to listen to. Second, you answered every question about composting toliets and sold me. I'm in the market for a retirement RV. Decided to retire early so I can play catchup with you two. Best of luck to you both and look forward to learning more from you.

Thank you, I am looking at full time RVing within the next few months. Your informative videos and those of Technomadia have saved me a lot of potential grief and a lot of good ideas for what I will really need. They also have made my girlfriend more comfortable with the whole idea. Keep up the great work.

Great information! I've been thinking about installing a composting toilet in my detached garage/workroom. This video answers a lot of questions I had about them. Many thanks.

I Cannot tell you how much i appreciate your candor, honesty, and how thoroughly you guys explained this topic. I have to admit when you guys first started doing these videos, I thought you were very Salesmen-like ( not a good thing) However you shown that you are willing to answer the less glamorous questions in an honest way. I appreciate you very much, Keep up the integrity:)

Thanks for this video, guys! I'm starting my "tiny home" journey, and research like this is sooooooo important! Good luck, best wishes, safe travels and I hope to see you on the road some day!

This was a extremely helpful video all the questions I had were answered so thank you

I've been watching a lot of Tiny House vids and been hearing a lot about these toilets. I didn't really know what they were so I did a search and this video came up first. Thank you for the in depth info!

We’re looking into one of these for our new RV. This was incredibly helpful.

great job, you two! You have reignited my interest in composting toilets!

Wow guys thank you very much! You have answered all my questions. Super funny, but still very helpful video! Perfect!

Entertaining and fun. Well done, well made and well presented. Thank you. Please keep up the quality shows

Hi, I just want to thank you. You guys are funny, entertaining and informative. AWESOME video. Thank you.

One of your best vids. Long enough and better info than previous.

Thanks for answering the questions I may give it a try in my RV.

Lots of good info for someone interested in getting into an RV either as a rental or eventually as a purchase. Thanks!

Hi, just bought an Airhead composting toilet for my sailingyacht. It will be great to get rid of all hoses, tank, valves and so. Very good video!👍

Thank you for this. So informative and really flipped a switch about me making the choice to go compost :)

A Wynn Wynn video. Very informative. Tactfully done. Thanks for posting!

This is one of the most comprehensive videos on composting toilets I’ve seen. I’m about to embark on full-time RV living. This was very helpful!!

A few personal thoughts: COCOA COIR is expensive, and do you really want a bale of it in a vehicle? Buy it in a smaller bale, and it gets even more expensive. I’ve seen it cheaper at pet places than at plant places. PEAT MOSS Is expensive, and when you break it up or stir it, it covers everything with brown dust. Also, dry peat moss doesn’t absorb moisture very well. SAWDUST: Around here, bulk sawdust costs $13 per cubic yard (27 cubic feet). That is equal to 35 5-gallon buckets. Stop at a landscape materials place that sells it, and offer to pay “a buck a bucket” (which would be the equivalent of them selling the cubic yard for $35 rather than the usual $13-15. If any of these businesses are near camping areas, and they put out a sign saying they sell a 5-gal bucket of sawdust for a dollar, they might pick up some extra business. PETSMART or PETCO carry several types of suitable bagged stuff; check out their cat/rabbit/chinchilla/hamster bedding. COMPOSTING BAGS only decompose in hot commercial facilities, not in your backyard compost pile. Most towns have a solid waste facility - the place where people dispose of garbage and dirty diapers. Find a local one on your phone and go there. Some are free, some aren’t. BACTERIA: “All of the harmful bacteria is dead in 6 hrs” - that's not true. NO, YOU CAN’T DRINK URINE. Urine is a waste product - that’s why your body is getting rid of it! Diluted, it can be used as a fertilizer, and you want to drink it full-strength? NO. It’s like drinking sea water: It has salts in it that make you even thirstier and more dehydrated, until you die. If you dispose of it near your campsite, your campsite will start to stink. If you pour it on the ground, put it in an open area, NOT at the base of trees or shrubs (unless you’ve diluted it 1:10 with water -- grey water is okay).

Thank you for making this video. It was very informative.

I just bought mine, can't wait to install it!

Hey, you guys are hella cute! I just wanted to let you know you both are doing a great social service by so delicately answering all these curious questions! Thank you for inspiring so many people.

I've had one of these for about 7 years now. I saved alot of money by not installing a conventional septic system. These are selling on Amazon now for about $910 versus $4-5000 for a septic system. I have a separate compost bin for the toilet, then empty that on ornamentals.

Delicately, well done Wynns!

Great video! I have been looking for an answer to the toilet paper question. Years ago I had a converted bus that had a black water tank; but, in this build I don't want to go that route. This really helps. Thanks!

Very informative & thorough video. I'm now more excited about the idea of eventually living in a tiny house!

Great job on the video, there were lots of questions I had that you answered as well. I'd like to consider it for my little RV... off to watch your next video. Thanks !!

Thanks so much for your video. We are planning on using a composting toilet over the summer. You've made me much more confident about the whole process.

Thank you for a awesome video, I was on the fence about getting a composting toilet now I’m 💯 YES 🌞

Great informative video. very well done. will be watching more and thinking that we might be able to be a little more adventurous and eco-friendly. thanks again.

Awesome video, very well done. I got no questions at all.

Hey Guys, thanks for a really professional informative video. The information is very useful.

Thanks for the video. I am actually considering one of these because of your videos. Well thought out and answered a TON of questions for people. Thanks again!

Awesome channel! Very educational/informative! Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your adventures and mishaps!

Thank you guys for all this information, it has been VERY HELPFUL in deciding to purchase a natures head toilet today. And an extra thank you for the discount we received on our toilet on your behalf!😊

you two are a amazing duo!! you work really well together.

Great information.... Not sure I'm ready to rip out the current RV Toilet but at least now I feel informed... One thing I have to say does appear attractive is using the black water tank as another grey... Seems we could avoid the campground hookups for a longer period.. Anyway, love your videos... Follow you often...

Great, informative video. Thanks for posting. We just bought a new RV, and are thinking of making the switch.

you taught me more than i knew about composting toilets. i've decided it would be great to have one handy. i live in earthquake country and having a place to pee and poop when the sewerage system is inoperable for any given period of time, would be ideal.

You two are awesome ! Thanks for the vid and all the great info !

Great information. I like the way you set it up in nature and drink coffee :)

very informative. nice to see that you answer the questions from folks.

Thank you for sharing the joy.

You guys are amazing- in sharing the joy you are sharing such a better more sustainable way to "go" I am still working on my husband....some day....

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It's been very informative! My question concerns 'that time of the month'. How do you deal with blood in the toilet? I can't help but assume it would end up with the liquids. How do you dispose of it?

I have been thinking about doing the compost toilet adventure for sometime, and now thanks to you two and the information and answered questions you have provided, I think I am ready to take the journey into compost pottying in my RV...I have enjoyed all of your videos and explanations on the do's and don'ts of RV'ing they have helped alot..Thank you for sharing them with us...

Excellent vid review - thx for sharing what is actually a really useful piece of information

I know this is quite dated, but still relevant. I expected this to be a pretty dry video, but you guys made it great!

hi guys... today is 10/10/14, and I wanted to say thanks for your videos. very helpful, very motivating. thank you.

How do you clean the poo smear on the poo chute door and does that residue smell?

Just curious why you opted for a second grey tank (in place of the uneeded black), instead of adding a second water tank? Thanks for your informative and fun vids!

This is exactly the video I was looking for on this subject!!! Answered all of my questions!!! Yay! Thank you!!!

great info video guys....love what you had to share.

You guys keep me so entertained. This was very helpful, keep those vlogs coming. Yes what type of camera are you using?

Great information. I will seriously consider this for my travel trailer.

Crappiest coffee table I have ever seen...

thank you guys. very informative, very clear information. loved the vid.

Great review guys, enjoyed your comments very much.

Thank you guys, i'm planning on living on a sailboat and i'm designing it as I'm writing this. This video helped me making a choice witch will be time, and cost efficient as well as I believe make my life easier on a regular basis in the futur. Thanks

I'm obviously bouncing around a bit viewing your vids....always have a great time but this one made my wife and I laugh out loud on several occasions. Especially throwing in a good ole' "That's what she said" joke, wuuuuuuuut!?!?!? lmao..... As always, love everything you guys do...keep it up the great work; keep being you.

Great video guys!!!! Thanks for sharing this information.

Thank you for the information.....I've been thinking for awhile now about getting a compost toilet.....very helpful info ......from Eddie's wife in South Carolina❤

"brings a whole new meaning to the word outhouse. you don't even need the house" LOL!!

love your work guys. keep um coming. when emptying the toilet can the crank be removed to make emptying easier?

more of these ...casual sorta videos,,, great info... thanks

"Nice Save Nikki" LMAO I am dying! ALso, this was very helpful! Thanks!

I want to thank you for going out of your way to answer our questions about doing number 2 in a composting toilet. I'm trying to convince my husband to go with one, too.😁😉

I think you should name this one Going with the Wynns:) Love your videos! Thanks for the good info.

Very educational video! Many thanks.

you guys are on the other side of the world now! and still i find myself referencing your library of videos. GWTW FTW!

how about cleaning the bowl? after each #2? if so, what's the best way?

Very informative! I'm wondering if this might work in my garage if I remodel into a spare bedroom!

And coconut coir they usually just burn when they harvest, this is a good use for it. Thanks for the vid, I was curious myself.

They are fun to watch. Good fun and information.

aaaaaand right after I posted that I see that you brought it up. Well, thanks again for your great videos:)

Fantastic information.... Love your videos and following you guy's. Were thinking of the rv lifestyle, (Tired of the home mortgage thing).

Very informative and I would really like to try it. I will have to convince my husband. We love camping but emptying blackwater tanks is nasty. This sounds so much more sanitary and less smelly.
