Do you need to put a barrier between it and the earth, or can you put it direct on the earth?

Awesome video. We've been using this system for 5 years now and we wouldn't do it any other way. We purchased my Grandparents homestead deep in a WV hollar and they only had an outhouse. There is no septic tank or room for one. Grandpa said "a man shouldn't poop inside his house". I highly recommend reading the book "The Humanure Handbook" by Joseph Jenkins and follow it to the letter. It is the "Bible" for Humanure.

Found Long Horn when huntung and has alot of makes on horns like you way to do it told in was for fence

what you use to buff with

Thank you for the video. I’m inspired to try this🌳☀️🍓

Interesting video, but I can't believe you left all of those scratches in the final product.

Can a steer horn be too flakey to polish up safely? I have one that's pretty weather worn and would love to polish it up but dont want to ruin it

Great, clear instructions - thank you! I have a rain collection system, which would help eliminate the use of clean well water.

Dude where’s or 2 . I loved this video I have been making drinking horns myself , just finished third set . Was really looking forward to some new techniques, and a gilded cap possibly a bottom would be a nice addition

The pile is so high in the bin, how do you “turn” all of it? I would think you’d need a front end loader to lift all of that.

You made this so easy to follow and understand. Thank you!

Are you vegan or do you eat meat? What if you take certain medications such as blood pressure meds or insulin, etc?

Have you considered using raw charcoal at the bottom to further capture and filter the leachings?

Question what size are your compost bins?

Hi, thank you for simplifying this! Can hay be used instead of wood chips or a combination of?

How do you treat the end of a horn that has split?

Thanks. Much the same as I do.

It turned out great ! I met a guy last week that was wearing a copper bracelet, he said his body absorbs the copper he mentioned ppl can be deficient in it. Thanks for posting this video.

We are just getting started with 30 acres of wooded undeveloped land and need to build a compost outhouse. Where do you get your wood shavings?

Hey there! I tried going through the comments but so far I haven’t found this question. If I’m repeating another person’s question..my apologies! Is there any reason in particular as to why you don’t use a urine diverter?

I’m not sure where you learned this method of laying skins in a pan for 24 hours. I was taught by Lotta Rahme and we vigorously worked the skins in the egg/oil/soap mixture for 15-20 minutes. This was like kneading bread. Actively with your hands. What happens is the enzymes get worked into the skin and the proteins change in the skin. My results were much softer and supple fish leather. But I had also prepped my skins with liming, pickling & bating…none of these steps you did. I prefer using oak gallnut or Tara as the Leather is stronger. Good luck!

One missing ingredient in your list is dawn soap. This will help remove the fats & oils…that’s where the fishy smell comes from.

Just what I needed! Thank you!

Where do you get so many wood shavings? And what about dog poop, can you put that in there too? If you feed your dogs a raw diet, organic, no kibble, that is. Thanks for video! Very interesting!

Most videos say it needs 1 year . Thanks for educating us.

How do you keep the shavings stack dry...and what happens if its raining or snowing?

Great explanation by the way. The baking soda and super glue seems like a great trick for the cracks.

Is there any reason why you can use a belt sander in the beginning? I can see that the scrapper will be good to work for a finial finish, but a belt sander might work really well especially if you use the flexible area of the belt sander.

”I really don’t need my dogs digging around in my own shit” 😂😂 Nice timing with the voice over. Great video. 👍

Thank you for the perfectly presented video. Straight forward and easy to grasp. I will be setting up a homestead near Algonquin Park, in Ontario Canada. I want to set up this kind of system there, even though I will have a flush toilet for my guests. Do you live in an area of the US where it is very cold in the winter? Would the pile stay warm in the winter? Would this slow down the process?

Thanks for the vid! Can you drop step by step instructions on the cycle you use in the description. I'm inspired to try this. Was thinking of welding multiple rotating steel cylinders to mix 5 gallon waste deposits with the equivalent of wood cover chips for 1 year... I would think after 3 years of that beautiful sludge baking in that container it'll be ready to bring any soil to life :)

We all need to do this instead of the enormous waste of good water…excellent video thank you for sharing…I’m assuming no worms to help out with the composting process since it starts off as a three year plan and plenty of time to bring the process to fruition without additional help…

Good stuff. I will start putting down a layer of shavings before depositing into my receptacle which is a chunk of culvert vertically situated. I also have it covered with a large (3') round piece of 3/4" plywood as I didn't want the rain to wash away any good nutrients. Also, I use a plastic garbage can instead of 5 gallon bucket, plus my o/h is outside.

Very practical

Maybe put mixture in a big mason jar covering the skins…shake a few times during the 24 h…just an idea. I did alcohol /glycerin and the tea and salt that way….loved your video. Great job!

If the pile goes up would you add straw to the sides to prevent the shavings from falling off???

god tier waste disposal

Thanks so much, Eric! I intend to start a system for a community with several households. Maybe 100. Yikes, just saying is feels both exciting and intimidating at the same time. When do you start seeing the thermophilic process start? After the first deposit? Is that what you are saying? World changing work. Thank you.

I'm just recently trying to tan the Skins myself one suggestion I do have is scale the fish before you fillet it's a lot easier

I found a horn by the river and wanted to make a necklace out of it but didn’t know how to clean it up this video was the exact thing i needed ty sm 💞

Have you tried it with Brook trout?

I leave mine for one year. I compost all my humanure n a gutted top load washing machine. Only compost pile I use it as a heat mat to germinate seeds.

Thanks for this great video. I am building a completely off-grid house made of recycled plastic roof tiles, bricks, and pavers. I will have a composting system. One concern I have is sourcing the wood for the sawdust. I worry about inadvertently using treated wood. If I cannot find untreated wood, I guess I will have to go the long-term composting route to give the wood enough time to lose its toxicity. Sound like a plan?

Would straw be a good substitute for the wood shavings?

What if you wanted to have the scales ? I’m looking to make fish scale earrings and I can’t seem to find anything that shows me how to preserve the scales. Would you recommend anything to me so I can do this ?

What is that pink compound and where can I find it? Also, what type of wheel on on the drill?

Really good informative video. Thankyou

Could you please give me some ideas to polish up the bangle bracelets I’m working on? The ones I’ve seen at shows don’t look like they will ever dull and the inside is as shiny as the out side. Since some brackets will be very thin and some wide? I really enjoyed your video, you’re very talented!

Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻

can i use rui fish or catla fish?
