“ it came from the ground I am just dumping in my it back there the way I was taught” is what an acquaintance told me when I asked what he did with his spent KCn (potassium cyanide) fixer. Kind of a lame thing to say..Meanwhile, you wouldn't be dumping a film-lab's worth of chemicals on the ground, so the impact would be negligible. Silver does come from the ground.
Unfortunately, the small 4 oz. glass bottles of Kodak Photo-flo that would be perfect for George's use are no more, even though they tended to have enough in them to last for years!

Really soon, unless we see a turnaround.Estimated time to soapbox?
Hello soapbox my old friendEstimated time to soapbox?
To my personal opinion, I have the impression that ARS-MAGO from Italy can be a solution to your situation.
They have a monobath film developing kit
Show me to think. A small amount of Rodinal also goes along way.When a working JP I covered Africa, at times I had to develop film in a hotel room. I carried quart kits of Diafine, no issues with time 3+ minutes, A, 3+minutes B, no stop bath, pan thermic, good from 60 to 90 degrees F, rinse then rapid fix, if you use a traditional film 2 minutes, 20 minutes wash or if you have room for clearing agent wash 5 minutes or less depending on the brand. Hard part finding Diafine quart size, still listed but of stock at B&H, maybe new old old stock on ebay. Diafine lasts a very long time, good for up to a year, I've been told by others even longer. So if you have room for 3 quart bottles. Down side, low contrast which is fixed fixed, cannot push or pull to adjust contrast.
The current size is not an issue.
once mixed, the working solution remains active for two months and can be reused to process 15 rolls.
Then I'm aware of.Does rapid fixer have any limitations I need to be aware of?
A request to George Mann. I (and I'm sure many others) are full of admiration for your quest to live in a camper van. Have you considered writing about your experiences in such conditions? In an age where web sites to do with 'minimalism' or 'Zen lifestyle' are polluted with baby dolls spouting on about how they survive in a living room with only a $20,000 couch, a $5,000 coffee table and a millionaire's on-the-wall TV unit, yours would be such a refreshing narrative, and I for one would greatly enjoy reading about your experiences.
This makes it essentially the same as Df96, though it might well produce a different H-D curve, grain structure, or "look".
Unless you dislike the total rendering of XT2 which I do it's just too soft for me.Sounds easier just to use xp2 and get it c41 processed in Ops circumstances. I've been in similar situations and that's the optimum solution imo.
I second the D 23 proposal. Well worth checking into.I am not familiar with D23, but I will look it up. I am also considering a non-toxic caffenol derivative.
you might consider making the caffenol yourself, 3 ingredients, easily found easily measured easily stored easily used. I'd try it first to make sure you will like the results and it worksI am not familiar with D23, but I will look it up. I am also considering a non-toxic caffenol derivative.
