If you've been in Mexico you've probably seen the black tanks on roof tops that supply pressue.

OK, I see, it's not really like the old out houses as it actually composts the solids, a camp we went to when I was a kid had an outhouse as a little kid it was nasty, but usable. You mentioned a "sawdust" toilet, do you add sawdust or wood shavings and ground limestone ? Will there be any storm shutters inside or out on the palapa ? How close is the nearest neighbor ? Will you be able to grow any vegetables or will all food need to be bought ?
