(thanks to Tracy for this informational and amusing video)
My education on squat toilets continues, but probably the more notable thing that has happened lately is that we went camping Friday. Luckily (for me) there were pit toilets(!) I've used pit toilets before, but this was a chance for me to really evaluate them for cleanliness and compare them to a porta-potty. I was interested to find that the pits are actually much better...
observations:
1) The pit toilets were very spacious (really, there is no reason for them to be too small)
2) The pit toilets had huge vent stacks, similar to a porta-potty.
3) The pit toilets didn't smell (although this could have EVERYTHING to do with the fact that it was actually quite cold while we were there.)
4) Someone had hung a strip of fly tape from the ceiling. Not sure if this is effective or not.
5) It was super-dark in the toilets. Without a flashlight at night, using them would have been nearly impossible...
We have our first progress check on Tuesday, so expect more news then...
