I still get many questions about our toilet, which is not always visible in my videos, and where we store our toilet paper (top secret!). We use an outhouse during the day and a chamber pot at night if it's really cold outside.

I've always thought it was kind of a waste to use toilet paper and flush it down the toilet in the city. Most of the toilet paper is removed at the primary clarifier and hauled to the landfill -- at least for towns without sewage sludge incinerators (like Albany) or biosoilids processing plants (that compost or gasify the waste and use the residuals for spreading on farm fields).  That said, I've never used a bidet but they've gotten popular with all of the shortages lately of toilet paper. Certainly if I had a septic system at my house, I'd keep a trash can by the toilet, toss it in burn barrel with the other paper trash. But for an outhouse, probably the best way to deal with toilet paper is to toss it in, and use the carbon to tie down the nitrogen in the poop.
