This is the handout mentioned in the
January Newsletter!
Ahhh . . . The Portable Toilet!
I can't tell you how many times I have put this
"Big Fella" off.
Not because a New UN-USED Portable Toilet is grose
by any means . . . some of the information I get to share
with you however, is NOT for the Faint-of-Heart!
Sooooo, Here We Go . . .
First we'll start with the picture:
Here they are all put together!
Super Cute Huh?!?
(I added the flowers for that little special touch!)
Here are the Toilet Label and Instructions for Use PDF:
Sanitation Information and Portable Toilet Labels
I created new labels...just to keep things fresh!

New Labels and A Condensed Instruction Page

Make a copy of the instruction page for each of the
Emergency Toilets you put together.
Store it inside for a quick reference.

Now for the Good Stuff:
Are you wondering what this is?
It's a Portable Jane!
It works as a "Seperation Device."
To seperate what you might ask . . . ?
Well, you don't want to mix #1 with #2 when you are using
the toilets. Yep, you have to keep the two seperate!
(Notice the color-coded numbers?)
Mixing the two with no water could be toxic.
Here's the link if you are interested in purchasing your own:
Portable John with the Jane Adapter Link
(That's one reason I decided a "Hers" Toilet might
be a good idea! The boys don't really need a seperate
seperation device . . . they're already equipted!)
Please Make Sure YOU Read the Entire Instruction Sheet.
It has soooo much important information on it!
(Thanks for the help Sherrie!)
This little project would be high on my "To Do List."
It's definately something I don't want to be without!
Happy Flushing!

Thanks for this. Just linked to it on facebook. You did a great job of handling such a "fun" topic!
Nice! Thank you!
What about when you pee and poo at the same time?
That's what the Portable Jane is for. It has an attachment that will keep the two from mixing.
Hope that helps!

Where is the info that says you have to keep things separate? Out houses don't require that so why the added work and supplies? Would be nice for you to set a link so we can read the info on the dangers of doing your buisness in the same bucket if need be. Thanks
Our homes have running water which changes everything. In an emergency situation where water is limited or not available to use in your toilet, you will need to seperate the two. Without water urine has a much stronger smell and when mixed with fecal matter it will become much worse. (If you think of it as a full baby diaper vs. a litter box that may help with what I'm trying to say.)As far as the supplies go, you don't have to put all of the items listed in both toilets, I did just so that I would have a spare. Being able to sprinkle lime on fecal matter will cause it to dry out which will greatly help in keeping the smell down. If you have urine to deal with on top of that, the lime will not have the same effect.
I hope that answers your question.
I did include a complete handout on the post that will hopefully fill in where I may have missed.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
That was a great one by the way!

You can use one bucket for both... instead of using the lime product you mentioned, just use some sort of dry material - my favorite is wood shavings (from cutting up firewood) - over the top of each, um, deposit. A "full" bucket can then be dumped into an exclusive compost pile (not for the garden - OK for orchard/flowers/etc.). Check out the Humanure Handbook. :)
