Wood holding tank?
Interesting, I stumbled across the article on TCM and am not sure what to think. First of course to each their own and kudos on his ingenuity but a wooden holding tank in my humble opinion is not go...

Yes I owned a wooden boat made from marine plywood. In fact in my area that was the only type of boat until they perfected riveting and welding aluminum. I would keep it in covered dry conditions between use. When put in water it didn't leak a drop. I agree some wood boats need to swell but not a properly built and painted plywood boat. Many families lived on houseboats made from wood.
I agree that a wooden tank would not be the preferred material.
Sounds like cold molded or stitch and glue where there are layers of fiberglass protecting the wood vs a true wood boat.
This is closer to a wood boat as he merely painted the inside, which is unlikely to remain water tight for any length of time.
Honestly, if you are that far into the wilderness, just find a ditch and dump the gray water away from campsites.
