Of course, I've seen some cabins where there was the traditional

finding enough soil to make even a minimal rudimentary drainfield was a
major problem...


I've seen where the "tank" was a couple of 55gal drums in series
before going to the laterals. Worked fine for a 1 person system for a
whole lot of years.

Unless they were plastic drums, wouldn't expect that "whole lot" to be
more than 20, maybe, before the drums were long gone. Guess if it was
rocky soil it could be possible the hole wouldn't collapse in, though...

One can see lots of things if one gets around...
