What are you doing for extended grid down sanitation? What's the poop plan? What supplies are you stocking for it?
Now that I am in my 50's, a trench knife and leaves don't seem to be the best solution.....
My current plan:

What's your plan?

Little late on a response, but, just so you know you're not a voice crying in the wilderness - In a word, my plan? Outhouse. Also serves as backup in case of septic problems or just an easily accessible place to go while working outside. Being in a rural area, nobody thinks twice, and, when in Rome...not that anybody can even see it in passing. Sanitation in general though? Lehman's for supplies in that dept., but lots of good ol fashioned hot water n soap will go a long way. Clean water is the biggest piece of the puzzle, long-term.

I agree clean water is top of the list.

Take a look at FM 4-25.12 (FM 21-10-1)UNIT FIELD SANITATION TEAM, for ideas on TTP for field sanitation. It's not that difficult but it does require diligence. https://edoc <<DOC>> pub/unit-field-sanitation-team-pdf-free.html

Previous manuals have useful information, especially if you have livestock or are in an austere environment. These include the WW2 manual FM 8-40, Field Sanitation { https://archive.org/details/FM8-40 } and
FM 21-10/MCRP 4-11.1D FIELD HYGIENE AND SANITATION { https://www.olive-drab << DOT >> com/archive/fm21-10.pdf

For disposal of human waste in particular, search for 'latrine'.

Long-term burn or bury...
We have several of the lugable loo bucket lids and a ton of wet wipes. These are mainly for camping since we're on septic and well.
