Guest Andrea Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Nope.....but at my husband's last family reunion there was an outhouse ( not being used anymore) in his great grandmother's back yard. Pretty neat to see one that old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtech_archer07 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I've used one at a cabin that we built out on one of our hunting properties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 That's a yes for me.I went up to northern Minnesota with a buddy bear hunting a few times, and at the cabin the outhouse was the only facilities. Up at the farm where I deer hunt we dug a hole a built a small box with a hole in it and wrapped some camo bulap blind material around it so no one can see in.It gets a little chilly in the winter time.

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 yep, when we first started going up to the UP we had to stay in a camper, the only place to uhh, "take care of business" was the old outhouse. And a friend of mine, his parents had a place up north and there was no indoor plumbing, had to use the outhouse, and had to hand pump your own water . the camp they have now 9also in the U.P.) also has an outhouse you have to use...so yeah, I have used a few of em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 yup ------ we have one at my Dad's camp we have a shower and all the luxuries of home inside except the crapper too much $$$$$ to install a spetic system for the amount of times the place is used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Years ago, my moms cousin had one at a cottage we would spend the weekends there. My cousin got stung right in the butt one day from a bee! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Good poll...LOL I have used one many times in the past. That is all my Grandparents had, when I was young, and it was way out beside the barn. A long scary walk in the middle of the night. Although, I do remember my Grandma's flower garden, just outside the back door, getting watered a lot in the middle of the night. Awe, thee good old days...eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 That is all we have at hunting camp. There is always a stampede in the morning to see who gets to warm it up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sure Have! That is all we had when I was growing up! I dug the hole for it several times and got mad because my dad only wanted it so deep! Then a couple of years later, I had to dig another one!:mad: I fixed that, I dug a real deep hole and as far as I know, it is still sitting on the same hole! It was deep!:D:rolleyes: Also used the Sears Roebuck catalog for wiping! No TP around!:eek: Those shiny pages really slide through quick! LOL!!:D 40 below zero, you did your thing in a hurry!

LOL!!:rolleyes: Our house burned down when I was 14 and we had no insurance. While we were rebuilding we lived out in the 16x20 tool shed and used the outhouse. Sure hated cold windy days. BTW If you wad those pages up a few times they soften up quite a bit. And save the lingerie section for last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 outhouse... If you have a remote camp then what else are you to do? Why not build an outhouse? It's better than the bushes. So yea, I've used one on multiple occasions. - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake3113 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thats all we have at Hunting camp...I can remember digging it out, when we replaced the old one that the porcupines chewed thru...Things you gotta do when your a kid at camp work details..
