I mean it just takes time and a lot of poop. After a year or so bacteria and stuff break your poop down. So, what you are going to want to do is boil that huge pile of year old poop. Then strain it, but keep the water. Then boil the water down slowly. I’d probably let the last bit evaporate on its own. But, if you do it right. You wind up with some nice saltpeter crystals, or so I’ve heard. Also, I’ve heard tell that most poops will work but it really needs to be covered from rain.

Thank you, my friend really needed this information to blow some stuff up in Minecraft

So in the days where every army was using black powder rifles, was everyone just boiling down gigantic amounts of shit all the time?

Yep, a really big source was bat guano from caves. But, I have also heard that the dirt from old outhouses.

Here are a couple of videos. One about human and one about chicken poop.

But for real you want old composted poop. Not fresh stinky poop.
