I’ve just finished putting up a one-room cabin on a bit of woodland I bought, and the thing I didn’t really think through was the bathroom.

EDIT: Some really interesting suggestions and tips thankyou! just thought id edit this and say i have (eventually) ordered this one, some really great features and its reviewed very highly! thanks again for all you help

There’s no plumbing, no easy way to run water, and I’m not keen on digging a pit that’ll just flood when it rains.

A composting toilet seems like the most realistic answer, but I’ve never used one before. I’m not worried about it looking fancy, I just need something that’s reliable, won’t stink the place up, and can handle regular use from one person (plus the occasional guest).

If you’re living off-grid in a small setup, which composting toilet worked best for you? Anything you wish you’d known before buying?
