We had an outhouse when I was growing up, and going outside in winter was a down side, but not the only downside. Spiders, lots of spiders in the outhouse. Mice, they eat the toilet paper and leave quite a mess in the outhouse. Odour, we didn't spend much time in the outhouse, breathing wasn't fun in there. Light, in the night a trip to the outhouse could be downright scary, we were in the bush and there were lots of animals around. Since then I've discovered the Humanure bucket toilet and if it were me, I'd be using that, particularly in the winter months. Ours has no smell, except for the few minutes we spend dumping the bucket. It is cheap, a plastic 5 gallon bucket, and some fine wood chips or peat moss, and can be used anywhere, outdoors, indoors, anywhere you want to carry the bucket and plunk it down. We use a dedicted compost to empty our buckets, within a few years (shorter in warmer climates) the contents become soil. Of course, if the outhouse suits you, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

A lot of the time composting toilets don’t function right in Alaska because of all the cold, especially not as an outhouse style, which I’d assume they’d do since they don’t have an indoor bathroom at all. I’m not sure if you’re from Alaska and know more on the subject, but just because of the temperature and the waste freezing, I wouldn’t think that’d be a good option, at least in the winter.

@Crucisphinx We live where winters often get down to -10F (-23C) , occasionally -20F (-28C). I compose all my rabbit manure even though it is against city ordinances. If I keep it turned regularly, it will stay warm most of the winter and be done in a few months. If I don't turn it regularly, it takes a few seasons to break down. I wish we could use a human waste compost system too; my wife would never agree though, and that would probably annoy the neighbors and get the police over here again.

Here in Australia, back in the 60’s, we had an outhouse (we call them a dunny). There was a tin can under the seat. Each week a ‘dunny man’ would remove the tin from a small door at the back of the dunny and replace it with an empty tin. One year we had extended family visit and the dunny tin filled by midweek, so my dad and uncle dug a hole in the back yard and emptied the tin. You guessed it, later that day, while playing outside, one of my cousins stepped on the spot where the tin contents had been buried and her leg went into the hole. I can still remember the antics, screaming, shouting and crying! Lol. 😂😂 I’m looking forward to seeing the next episode. Thank you. Great work. Cheers, Jeff. 👍😀🦘🏠

We used to have an outhouse with a Racasan chemical toilet, basically a seat with a 30l drum under it into which a few cms of the vivid blue racasan chemical was placed. As the drum got close to fill it was my job to dig a hole and bury the contents, not a too unpleasant job. The residents were strongly advised to not use the toilet before emptying was scheduled as the racasan required a short time to work its magic, those who overfilled the drum were given the shovel and told to do the burying as carrying 30l of liquidy waste without spillage was fraught with difficulties. Also on a small section archeological excavation of previous burials was less than interesting. However, the toilet was inside the outside wash house very close to the backdoor did not smell and did not require long treks into the wilderness on inclement nights to deal with pressing matters. Gentlemen were encouraged to water the bushes at the end of the section to extend the time between burials and to minimize the sloppiness of the contents, a fact much appreciated by the burier

Here people have those outhouses at their holiday home (usually due to financial reasons since it costs around 20k to drag in plumbing etc). The nature is so similar to how it is here, but it’s at the same level so it sorta makes sense🙂

In Alaska it’s generally too cold for composting toilets to function properly, even with heating, because it blows air through a duct outside your house. On top of that they’d have to build an entirely new room on the side of their existing house. A lot of people don’t even have indoor plumbing in Alaska because it’s so cold that any piping will need to be replaced really often due to severe freezing. An outhouse, especially in winter, is so much less work than most other options because of how far they are from everywhere and just their location on a map.

It was 2 years before the well went in, and that whole time, it was the outhouse, and a galvanized tub for the bath. When the bathroom went in, I thought I had died and went to heaven. Claw foot tub, ❤️ commode, and hot 🔥 water. And no peeking out to see if the young 🐻 was around, when we stepped out of the outhouse. 😁 I still thank the Lord for hot water, regularly.

they work. the concept is much the same as a compost pile, its just human excrement that is the big nitrogen part of it. on our farm we have 8 like it at two of the "out buildings" . all they have is rainwater for water and well outhouses for the necessary. what they did is good. we elevate ours about four feet we dont have to move the house because well we dont have hard freezes so the process starts real quickly and continues on year round. the straw is a good idea, we use full bales around the perimeter and have replaced the pallets with lattice...I think that they did a good job

Are you guys going to start a composting system? Seems like that would be a way better setup and would never have to move it again.

One of the things I don't like about the type of homesteaders is that one of these spouse is always has to do the give me the token nailing in the wood or doing a job that she normally wouldn't do. What I really like about your channel is and this is the first channel that I've ever seen this app, is you and your wife equally work. She does a great job at everything that she does and she does everything that you do. And that you do everything she does. So I say congratulations and this is why I love watching your show. Your wife is a fantastic woman you guys are doing a great job. I appreciate this honest of a show.

That's one of the reasons I love this channel. It's common in my country for women to do "men's" work. Digging holes, working the land and building entire houses while their husbands are away at work. And the best marriages are usually the ones where both throw themselves into big projects equally and getting kids involved in the work too. These two have great ballance

Thank you! I get annoyed how in this day and age there are still “pink” and “blue” roles. When I moved in with my BFF (now husband) years ago his brothers and father couldn’t comprehend that I was mowing the lawn. Enough to call my bf to get outside and “save” me. He was inside doing laundry, I’d much rather mow the lawn than fold laundry! Cheers! Hope your healthy and safe!

I saw what you did there with the thumbnail -- lol Lampoon's Christmas :D You don't HAVE to relocate outhouses. You can pump it (like a septic) and empty it. You know, have the honeywagon truck come and suck out the sewage every so often, whenever it's full. My uncle did that before he eventually got plumbing. I lived for 5 years without plumbing myself. This is not as big a deal as city people think it is. A LOT of people do this, they just don't talk about it.

I'm 71 years old, lived in Alabama most of those years, so I am no stranger to outhouses. I can't remember ever moving them, but I'm sure they did...? As a kid, my legs were short (didn't touch the floor while sitting down), and I always feared falling in! That, and SPIDERS!
