![]() You may not want your butt to touch the surface of the toilet seat, but the person who uses the toilet after you does not want to touch toilet paper your butt’s been on. #5 If you must make a seat cover from toilet paper before you sit, deposit said seat cover into the toilet before you leave. If you need to protect yourself from germs, bring disinfectant in with you and spray down the seat before you sit. Sit all the way down,with both cheeks on the seat. Shrieking is permissible, but remember, it’s your own dang fault. #3 If you fail to lock the door behind you and someone opens the door while you’re taking care of business, try not to fly off the toilet in mid urine stream. If you don’t, one of those people who opens doors without knocking is probably going to walk in on you. If you want to know if someone’s in there, you’re going to have to knock. (Sometimes no one is behind the door.) Has peeking under a stall to check for occupancy taken the place of knocking? Since pit toilets are totally enclosed, peeking won’t work. When did knocking on a closed door fall out of favor? People seem to either reach out and try to open a closed door or simply stand in front of a closed door waiting for someone to exit. In the name of public service, today I will lay down instructions for pit toilet use. Really, people, the process is the same, whether the toilet flushes or not. #Vault toilet how to#I shouldn’t have to explain to grown people how to use a pit toilet, but so many folks seem baffled when confronted with a toilet that doesn’t flush. Today I am going to tell you how to use one. We could practically smell it before we saw it. One day the pump truck came up the mountain. When the city folks were present for the pumping or its immediate aftermath, they were quite surprised and quite disgusted and quite unhappy.They had no idea shit and piss could smell so nasty. On a regular day, the smell from the pit toilets was often enough to make them mighty uncomfortable. Most of the visitors to the trailhead and campground were city folks many of them had never encountered a toilet that didn’t immediately flush their waste away. As GI Joe taught us, knowing is half the battle. I wouldn’t say I grew immune to the stench of toilets being pumped, but at least after the first couple of times I encountered the process, I knew what to expect. To put it simply, it smells like death, and death does not smell one bit pretty. If you’ve never encountered a large concentration of decaying human waste, let me tell you, it smells really bad. The pumping process stirred up all the decaying waste material and created a HORRIBLE smell. Even keeping the lid down couldn’t control the bad smell after the pit toilets were pumped. ![]()
