Wilderness tip...
Every fourth day when there are three or more users, sprinkle a solid layer of LIME over the deposit. Anaerobic bacteria tend to be gram negative - therefore more likely to be a health hazard. The lime speeds up chemical decomposition, greatly suppresses insects and odor. At the end of usage, apply a thick layer of lime plus water. Then cover with 2' of dirt, compact, then keep filling until a small mound forms.
