What happens when the power goes out and water stops flowing? For weeks? For months? While most preppers focus on food storage, they're missing the #1 threat to survival: sanitation failure. In this eye-opening interview, we sit down with Joseph Jenkins, the world's leading expert on humanure composting and author of the groundbreaking "Humanure Handbook."
Joe has 46+ years of off-grid experience and has traveled the world implementing these systems in Mongolia, Haiti, Africa, and Asia. This isn't just about emergencies - it's about a sustainable solution that could revolutionize how we think about sanitation and soil health.
