Dry Camping: Many Power Solutions. What about Waste/Water?

Lotta discussion and solutions pertaining to solar, generators, huge battery banks, and bulk/boost capable converters keeping everyone powered off the grid.

For those spending more than a weekend dry camping, what kind of creative solutions are available to handle waste and freshwater issues?

    Hi,

    I essentially go for 2 weeks at a time on my fresh water and waste tanks. Then I go to the last free dump site in Regina. Fresh water I get from friends.

    Large capacity waste tank and fresh water tank....can go over a week

    Otherwise......
    Waste totes
    Water bladder tanks in back of truck
    5 gallon bottles

    Packing up and gong to dump site when tanks are full.
    Then stopping off by spigot and filling fresh water tank on way back to camp site
