    And solar panels and a big battery for electricity. And a good sceptic system so i don't have to crap in a hole in the ground outdoors 500 feet away from my house. And a good general store in easy driving distance. And a powerful 4x4 vehicle that can get down to the main road even when the giant driveway path is very muddy or covered in 5 feet of snow. And a decent medical facility not too far away so when a health problem arises i don't lose a limb that could've been saved. And a post office not too far away so i can get packages delivered. And and and ...

    A poo bucket is not nearly as bad as it sounds. (Saw dust and distance keep the smell down.)

    Otherwise, great list.

    Saw dust or whatever, those things stinks. The best part is having people over and mixing all their crap in an enormous bucket 🤢🤮🪣

    I have a quite good experience with these, and was surprised how little they smell (but it was an outside toilet with an incredible view)

    Mine were always indoors, from those old ones with place for two, to modern ones with a sort of spanner to mix it all... They stink in various degrees up to like impossible. Outside it might be totally okay I guess (if it's not in the winter or the muskitoes are not on a war path).

    I wonder if there's some sort of oil you can pour over it so the scent molecules can't escape into the air

    you eat bismuth subgallate and it neutralizes the scent when you digest. it's for people with missing digestive tracts.

    Find a stream, dig a well, set up a rain collection system, have a cistern / pump / filter.

    Yep, its difficult, but not impossible.

    People have been doing that for tens of thousands of years... though I will grant you this is increasingly, unrealistically difficult for an average person to pull off these days, even if you basically learn how to properly do all of it yourself, lots more legal restrictions, and construction/materials are costly.
