re: Who here has used an outhouse?

In basic training the ranges had very large outhouses with giant piles of shite under those plywood benches

And all the flies landing on your arse. Those were nasty.

The bathrooms at Pimlico

As a little boy around 5, I used a legit outhouse that serviced my great grandmother's home up in the Arkansas mountains.

at our deer lease growing up the outhouse was a lawn chair with a toilet seat screwed to the frame

My southern Illinois grandparents didn't have indoor plumbing until I was around 8 years old. There wasn't another option when visiting them. It was just the way it was, not a big deal.

Both of my grandparents had one. Worst was middle of the night getting up on a freezing cold night to drop a deuce. Then had to find an appropriate page out of the Sears & Roebuck catalog……..in he dark.

I have a bizarro outhouse - it's a fully finished bathroom, shower and all, as a standalone structure a good bit away from the house.

I don't use it, but when the raft guides show up for summer, I go over there and tell them they can use it whenever they want, because those stinky frickers only have a solar shower on their property. They give me free trips and take care of my trash as thanks.

I have. My great grandparents still lived in the house my great great grandparents built when the migrated here from Czechoslovakia. They never saw the need to put a toilet in the house.

I have once while visiting friends of my parents. It smelled like a chicken coop

Not me. Had a great uncle that died in a outhouse. He's known as the uncle who died in an outhouse.
