[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once stayed at a friend's house on an island in Maine where there was no electricity other than a generator. They had indoor plumbing and an outhouse, but you were expected to use the outhouse during daylight hours. With the inside toilet, you flushed only for #2. Showers were limited and if you took one, you had to turn the water on only while getting wet or rinsing off. It was different...but made me realize how wasteful our creature comforts can be sometimes. [/quote]

This reminds me of staying with friends of my parents who had a boat - like a 40ft thing with a couple of cabins. They had a rule that you could only use 5 pieces of toilet paper at a time. It was fine... and I understand that the plumbing on ships is different.. but I did worry about what would happen if I really needed more![/quote]
That’s ridiculous. As long as they were using marine toilet paper, had been properly servicing their holding tank, and you didn’t go crazy with the TP, there’s no reason for that rule. We have a boat and we just try to be sensible about this kind of thing. We do encourage guests to use the marina bathroom before boarding, and we have a personal “no #2 on the boat” rule for my DH and me simply because we don’t want to be carrying it around until we pump out, but I’d never tell my guests to limit TP to 5 squares.[/quote]

What if you cannot poop on demand?   What’s wrong with carrying it around until you pump out?  I assume it would be stored safely.[/quote]
