Dry Sanitation. What Happens When The Sewage & Waste Infrastructure Fails

It will be deep into the collapse of our society when the national wastewater and sewage infrastructure collapses. But localised flooding could cause system failures in localised areas.

This dry sanitation solution works if you are off-grid. But most importantly can only be implemented if your home is well above any flood risk zone. Don't build a compost toilet where it can get flooded. You may become liable for contaminating the floodwater. 
Composting toilets are the safest solution for disposing of your faeces, and your pets' faeces.

The above compost toilets are a rotating 4-cubicle set on a 2.5x 3.5m footprint containing a 5cm³ box of humanure, cooked food and kitchen waste. The composting box includes rat-proofing.


30 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen to make compost.

I haven't seen a single #prepper video about compost toilets. I'm guessing when SHTF, pun intended, they will be shitting in plastic bags and storing it for latrer..

XReadiness For Climate Adaptation: Analysis

Image
Extinction Rebellion has just released a document /booklet about preparing for climate change adaptation. My initial overview is that they covered a lot, but not in enough detail, and ignored how the preparedness movement has evolved beyond older approaches and trends among "preppers". Let's be honest about this: This is lefty prepping. This is a comprehensive document, but it needs a lot more work. It lacks the detail required to make it a little more than a framework. Some of the advice is very limited in its scope, more because of the limitations of the Author (s). The opening section talks about "Go-Bags", which is from the age-old "Bugging-out" fantasy when disaster strikes. You have a bag ready and you run for the high ground and live out of what is in the bag for a few days. This assumes you have a chosen location to do that and can assume that 100s of other people aren't going to do that too in the same location! The bugging out myth has be...

Can Modern Shamanic Practitioners Lead Us Into Deep Connection With Nature Or Are They Just On A Grift?

This is Jungle Svonni, he is an indigenous Sami Shaman from Satmi. Satmi is a region in the extreme north of Europe and Russia, part of which is inside the Arctic Circle. Satmi spans Northern Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway. The Sami people's language, singing traditions, culture, and dress have been at times banned, and like North American indigenous people, they were, in the 19th  & 20th centuries, forced to go to boarding schools as part of Nordic assimilation policies. Jungle Svonni spent several years alone in nature, living off the land. In his own words, he explains that this is how you find nature connection. Link: YouTube short, Jungle Svonni explains how he spent years in the wilderness, living off the land. This, he explains, is where we find nature connection. And I have to say I agree with him. The starting point for the Indigenous Shaman has always been nature. By the time precolonial indigenous people were 18-25, they would have mastered the neces...

The History of Modern Shamanism Steeped in Genocide and Fascism

Image
I'm not bothered about what people want to believe, I am bothered about the gtifters who are misleading their followers and misrepresenting nature and the Ancient English landscape. You can call yourself whatever you like: Shaman or Shamanic Practitioner because as we see below in the following text, it has very little meaning. Shamanism has been sanitised, laundered, and distilled down to a series of practices and ideas by white European intellectuals. I am increasingly averse to this term. I prefer the term Earth Spirituality. Because in the rain and sunshine I among the Nettles, I am extracting fibres for tinder from this most sacred plant, not because it can get me high, but because it is the base of the fire, vitamins in spring and seeds in autumn. Its role role is to teach me about connecting to nature through skills.
