Defining: On Grid, Off Grid, Going Off The Grid, & Boon Docking Concepts

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

I don't do videos so much because
but I'm interested in the topic.
I'm particularly interested in confabulating off grid and nomadic which would of necesity include tiny houses (mobile) and/or bug-out

Which brings to mind sanitation.
What are your thoughts on a sitdown shower( using a 'shower-gun) with a composting toilet init.) Like say in a van, trailer or boat?

What are your thoughts on a sitdown shower

A sitdown shower with toilet (composting or otherwise) is called a "wet bath". Searching that term might give you some ideas.

Showers are relatively rare in nomadic contexts because they require relatively large amounts of water, even "navy showers".

Sponge baths (washrag and basin) or baby wipes are quite common.

many rv's come with those type of showers these days.

ah..but there is a new thing..
a high pressure hand held shower head that used minimal amounts of water..
like...a couple of pints..

I removed the faucets from my thrift store sink and installed only a dish sprayer with 6' hose. It reaches outside the van's sliding door so I can wash up or rinse things outside. The 12v water pump (already installed) provides pressure.

Dunno about high pressure but it works for a navy shower.

How about camper vans? Thats where I live and stuff

I ripped out the bathroom and built my "jungle room" in the back instead

that would be boon docking if you live in a van ;)
