Sewage is easy. Just go in the middle of nowhere, dig a hole and off you go. Heck in an emergency any place on the ground will do. Where do you think animals in the wild shit?

And yes I've had to do violent diarrhea in the middle of nowhere. TP is all you need.

Sewage is easy when population size is small.

When you have a lot of people in an area, you start running out of places to dig a hole and shit in it pretty quickly. You'll be surprised how often you'll start digging and find someone else's shit, which I can't imagine you'd be excited about.

TP and clean water - both to drink, and wash with.
