In this latest episode of The Practical Woodsman podcast (#26, re-uploading to YouTube now, audio version already available on the podcast platforms) I talk a bit about outhouses, and in particular my grandpa’s outhouse where I used to catch up on community news by reading the gossip that folks had scribbled on the walls.

I hope y’all are enjoying your days off with good friends and good food! Enjoy!
