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.
The attached picture here is not my picture, nor is it a picture of my grandpa’s actual outhouse… but it sure does look similar enough! For that reason I’m sharing it here.
Out here, a little light goes a long way. You don't need to push back the whole night, just enough of it to see your next step.

Damp insulation won't keep you warm. Dry your layers whenever the sun gives you the chance, because the woods won't remind you before nightfall.
