'Relieved' to see that you staked the outhouse down. Being light structures, they sometimes blew over in high winds. You might want to fill in the front of the seat area as a 'splash guard.' Waste doesn't always drop where intended. Agricultural lime also works very well to keep the outhouse 'sweet.' Even primitive outhouses had oval seats so I applaud your idea of doing a bit more in that regard. It would not surprise me if your dad has a spare toilet seat in one of his storage buildings. You already own it, so why not use it? The spiders won't need them.
EPISODE 14: The Pallet Wood Outhouse. This project should have been one of the first builds, but we ended up experimenting with different projects. But we finally managed to build a thunderbox! However, it certainly isn't perfect! We realised we should have made the slope on the roof the other way, so that rain water would flow backwards off the roof. We also needed to box in the seat with more pallet wood and add a folding lid to it (we'll be boxing it in soon to prevent any unwanted splashback...) Either way, it's another fun project and a good addition to the site - Hope you enjoy it.
TA Outdoors I'm sorry i had to stop the video to ask please can you tell your dad not to tuck his jeans into his socks again thats as bad as sock and flip flops 😂
Digging that privy hole with a post-holer would've been a lot easier and give you deep, straight sides. Might've been worth hauling one out to your build site but it looks like you got the job done.
Thanks again gentlemen! Another great video.. Yes.. Fires.. 🔥. Southern Oregon is burning up! We have had hazardous breathing conditions for WEEKS now! A lot of my friends are on evacuation notice to get out quick.. Prayers to you all in the UK as well, to end this incredible heat we have all been suffering from Much love from Southern Oregon, as smokey as it is! 🌲
Mike, I see you took my suggestions from some months back and built the outhouse and brought a leaf rake to clear the ground. As you said you will be making improvements on it as it is a learning progress so I have some improvement suggestions for you. 1) Your dad mentioned the leaning roof for rain run off. Lean it toward the BACK of the outhouse, not the front. Nobody wants to exit or enter an outhouse and have rain water gushing down on them. Plus rain run off (when you finally get rain) will saturate and dig out the ground in front of the outhouse. 2) The crescent moon that's on the doors isn't simply decoration. It is also for ventilation. Sure you have a bit of air flow at the bottom but you need it at the top too. Outhouses accumulate hot gases from usage and that gas rises so ventilation is needed at the top of the outhouse. Perhaps drilling some 2 inch holes around the top of the walls. 3) The Seat. The best thing to do is find an old toilet seat that isn't being used and mount that on the top of the bench. Sure you can remake the hole in a oval but even military latrines 60/70 years ago have toilet seats. Also the bench itself. The front you have just the one cross bar. I suggest enclosing the front completely for many reasons. A) It allows gases to escape from the top only. B) If you have to take a leak while sitting down, you won't spray on your feet. C) It makes for a better structural support.
Nice! Definitely a nice thing to have now that you have the Tiki Bar! We have an outhouse at our house...a 2 seater! My daughters, when they were young, lived in our pond all day long. Since they were always wet, they weren't allowed to go into the house. Therefore, the double-seater out house was used a LOT! They would swim to the end of the pond, get out and run into the woods to go to the bathroom, and would hold hands as they sat on the seats LOL One thing we have on our outhouse is a trap door in the back about halfway up the wall. Nice for easier spreading of the ash we threw in regularly.
I always learn something from watching your vids. It's staggering to realize that you and your dad have reclaimed each nail. I was thinking about it when I saw them together in the jar.
i dont usually comment on videos but after watching the building a offgrid cabin and this video fair play you and your old man must have a great relationship i just wish i had this kind of relationship with my own father. Awesome build great content and another subscriber keep up the good work :)
Your timing is impeccable. Due to strong peer pressure from folks like yourself, Survival Lilly and Coal Cracker Bushcraft, I decided to start a bush craft camp on the far back edge of our property. A place to unwind, attempt primitive skills, and use as a hunting outpost. My best friend and his kids came over just this past Sunday to help clear the brush and small trees from the site (which created a nice pile of poles!). An outhouse will be the very first structure we build. I hope to have his children become a large part of this project, and a bathroom is KEY! My lovely wife would also appreciate it ;)
I love this its like being shipped wrecked you started with the bushcraft camp and you have stayed and started to make it more comfortable thank you for an informative and entertaining channel
Great job Mike and Dad. Not sure if this was mentioned by another, but the toilet paper can be stored in a large coffee can/tub with a lid. That will keep critters and bugs from stealing it for bedding. Also perhaps a tin can with some punch designs in it to hold a candle for atmosphere and deordorization 😉 while you do your business. Don't forget a reclaimed rainwater station hanging from a tree with a bar of biosoap in a ladies stocking.
A bucket of kitty litter below the seat works well as an outhouse waste management system. obviously more the better. I am partial to making a large "pan" under the seat, and having it accessible from outside the outhouse to make raking it out easier. use the facility, then sprinkle a couple scoops. I am also fond of making use of a solar vent fan to help air out an outhouse (yes it is an expense, and the idea of the series is to do it cheap or free. it is a luxury to be able to vent out an outhouse)
love both of you guys videos... Thank you for your time, and thank you for giving me/us the entertainment of watching both you, and your dad's channels! (you and your dad's vids & channels) Love them! Thumbs up :-) Thank you Both, R. Downer, From New Hampshire U.S.A.
Great job I've been watching your pallet bielding from the beginning and I would like to thank you all for the inspiration for my pallet bielding. And I am going to film it and put it on y tube. Thanks again for the inspiration and I will keep watching y'all
Fellows, I would suggest building a pallet wood sleeve in a cube shape to fit inside the seat structure, obviously with no top or bottom, with solid sides, just to control any potential splash from an explosive exit or such. Might save your calves, heels or trousers from a visit to the cleaners. Love from Red
In NZ we use burnt lime in the long drops but watched Billy up in Canada and he uses saw dust mixed with lime, it kills any smell and also helps your doings all break down. Great video as always guys so all the best.
Well done! Maybe finding an abandoned potty with a good seat you can repurpose? And now that you have a place to park your a** to find the relief you crave, beside the sawdust, you might find that putting your stove ash down the hole a good thing too. As to your heat and drought, it is full on here in the states too. Out in california, my daughter with her hubby and two kids had to evacuate and move down to her mom's place. My oldest daughter with her hubby and kid are next to evac. Here, in missouri, we have gone from moderate drought to severe and our crops are not doing well either. Corn and soybeans are greatly stunted and the kernels are not bound to be anywhere near high quality once the harvests are in. We had no spring, a late running winter and then straight into summer with high heat and very little rain. So, we have empathy for your situation as it is much like ours and most of the rest of our poor earth. Be safe and hope your run of heat ends soon.
Luv keep a bucket of wood ashes to sprinkle instead of saw dust it helps waste to break down faster (from the lye they contain ) and eliminates any odors
A pallet wood privy love it keep up the great work we love watching what you do also TA fishing i watch with my daughter who absolutely loves to fish ..
I've just discovered your channel and I think it's a fantastic thing to do together. On top of that you're sharing skills that seem to be forgotten today. In a throw away society this series of videos are really refreshing. My dad was a carpenter and loved sea fishing as well as a bit of shooting for hare/rabbit and pheasant occasionally. We ate all he caught too so it wasn't for sport. He also had an allotment. It makes me wish I'd had the chance to work with him like this. We were made to create and I think there's nothing in the world like using something created by your own hands. Brilliant work guys.
Guys I've heard if you paint your projects every 2 or 3 years it slows down the wood from rotting. Use the same paint as you would on a house. Thanks for sharing your vidos.
7' 0" pallets can be got from some Department Store warehouses and suite makers. I used to deal with them many moons ago while working in a Debenham's Warehouse.
Couldn’t go wrong with a cheap plastic toilet seat or if you want pallet wood only maybe try laminating, good use of the scraps. great to hear from you both and glad your practicing proper fire safety, it would be safe to have a bucket of dirt or sand around for a budget extinguisher
Thank you for your prays Mike!!! Here in Greece we're having a horrible summer..We hope August will be better..Once again a great video!!! Happy holidays for you and your family!!!!
A friend of mine built an outhouse for his cabin from a shipping box for an optical lab lens generator. Just had to make a peaked roof, added in two crank-out windows from a camper (very important!) and a door (again from a camper) It was the perfect size, you could open the windows quickly while seated (Pe-e-ew!) And he did cut a quarter moon over his door (and screened it, mosquitoes in Minnesota summers are horrible)
Heatwave here in sweden to like 5 weeks with 25-30 celsius everyday with loads off forrest fires allover the country. Nice video as always, keep the good work going.
if you get a plastic bucket and cut the bottom out, it would work as a chute. meaning less mess and more accuracy. as well, if you keep some dried soil in there, and drop a handful in each time you go, it will keep the smell down.
Maybe next year you could add a small pond and put some of the fish you catch in it then it would really feel like home😀. Love both channels btw, each vid is like payday cant wait for it and hate to see it go lol.
My aunt and uncle's orchard in Hungary had an old outhouse . It had a bench with an oval hole. You can make one easy just using a wood panel (1 inch thick) with an oval hole cut out.
I would recommend putting plastic or tin on the roof to keep from getting rained on when using the outhouse, I know it has a roof but personally I would feel more comfortable with something covering either the roof or under the roof to keep rain water out
You should make a compost bin, to place leaves and such in. so can start on making good compost for the garden. also Make sure you save your wood ash from fires. Put it in a bucket for when you use the outhouse. sprinkle some of the wood ash after you done your business. it will help control the smell and help a bit with insects. Also should try to find like a cheap or free solar light. that could put in and outside the outhouse for Night time use. Inside you could have a battery powered light. Like a button touch light.
YAY!!!! Another pallet wood cabin vid. This was great. I really enjoyed it. And now your dad can come stay with you AND have his coffee!!! :) :) Thanks for sharing. God Bless, from TEXAS!!
At our cottage we used to have a outhouse toilet...the pit was about 6-8 foot deep and in 50 years never had to be cleaned out...we have full plumbing now with a real bathroom but the "outhouse" was still used in the winter when we showed up at the cottage.
Hey Mike, An outhouse is definitely essential. Not sure how you survived this long without it. ;) BTW that bacon you and your Dad are always cooking makes me jealous, looks so good. - Danny
hi mike Lee here from out here in Bulgaria ...glad you finally built a throne for your camp..!!! just like you said its practical.... maybe add an oval wooden seat for your bums..all the best mate..
Try picking up a cheap toilet seat. An ounce of comfort to avoid a splinter. I know it’s not pallet wood but..... great vid as usual. You need to cut a half moon for some light to get in. Thx for sharing. Fire bans here in North America as well.
Here in the Rural Southeastern U.S. I have used these Outhouses many many times!. An oval hole in the seat works much Better! Also You might want to cover it with wood ashes from the fire... This would provide some Activated Charcoal to help absorb odors and other filth. You often see pictures of these with a 1/4 moon opening cut in the door. The moon was used to designate the WOMEN'S toilet. The outhouse for the men had a 5-pointed Star window in the door,.
I wish I had space to do these projects. A small cabin adventure hut would be awesome.. map of the uk, pins of different destinations to tick off and trinkets from our travels...
You should cover up the fornt of toiletseat with palletwood to avoid having used paper flying around your feet 😀, and a lid could be handy. We have also have a very warm summer in Finland with temperature around 30 C and even warmer
Haha you've never used a thunder box before! put a floor in to get your 1" back and keep the crawling creatures out of your Pants!! Oh and the front top board of the throne needs to stand vertical to give you some room for the crown Jewels etc!! and maybe cover the front of the throne area? in case of spry painting episodes! :-D great fun!
It's cool you show yourself cooking the stuff you're going to turn into the stuff you're going to leave in the thing you just made.
'Relieved' to see that you staked the outhouse down. Being light structures, they sometimes blew over in high winds. You might want to fill in the front of the seat area as a 'splash guard.'

You already own it, so why not use it? The spiders won't need them.
That was used as well. We had plenty of agricultural lime and didn't use wood stoves, so we used what we had.

TA Outdoors this time next year you could be harvesting vegetables to eat at the camp.
What kind of things did you have in mind.🌽🥕🍅
Haha yep we did say about boxing it in in the pinned comment to this thread!
TA Outdoors it is better when you are at the camp cooking food and building mate that is what everyone likes
TA Outdoors I'm sorry i had to stop the video to ask please can you tell your dad not to tuck his jeans into his socks again thats as bad as sock and flip flops 😂

Mate just please keep on going with the pallet wood series)) Great work as always)
My wife and I love the videos. Keep up the great work.
Such an entertaining, educational series! Cheers to Father and Son!!
Its functionality is what is most important. Good job. Great video. Take care.

Great video missed these ;)
LOL!!!!
i dont usually comment on videos but after watching the building a offgrid cabin and this video fair play you and your old man must have a great relationship i just wish i had this kind of relationship with my own father. Awesome build great content and another subscriber keep up the good work :)
Will watch with my boy after work...kids love this show bro!
Good to hear!
your dad makes it look so easy
I love watching you with your Dad. What a great relationship!
Great idea...it will make life at the cabin a bit easier. You could put a plank on the floor to take up that extra inch in the height of the seat.
I do so enjoy watching you and your father together. Makes me miss my
dad something fierce. Thanks for the video.
You guys forgot to cut a quarter moon 🌙 in the door! lol! Good job though boys!
Crescent moon.
Craig Mooring - Yeah that’s it!
I thought it was a shape of a heart or diamond that is commonly used?
Marco van der Ziel - depends on what part of the world or country you’re from!
It's a moon because when you go in there, there is a moon (mooning)
Your timing is impeccable. Due to strong peer pressure from folks like yourself, Survival Lilly and Coal Cracker Bushcraft, I decided to start a bush craft camp on the far back edge of our property. A place to unwind, attempt primitive skills, and use as a hunting outpost.

I forgot something, your father needs to do more weather reports. The last episode was totally awesome, keep up the great work, love the videos.
This heatwave is killing our harvests. I hope it soon will rain. Enjoying your shows! Greeting from The Netherlands
LOL, love it... When and where I grew up in North Louisiana some people still used outhouses.
Your dads really cool and nice, but so are you, you guys inspire me to do this
I love this its like being shipped wrecked you started with the bushcraft camp and you have stayed and started to make it more comfortable thank you for an informative and entertaining channel
Great job Mike and Dad. Not sure if this was mentioned by another, but the toilet paper can be stored in a large coffee can/tub with a lid.

Well done. Liked the “Tiki Bar” too. For a lovely cuppa. To keep you going.
you built a happy crapper!! very nice, and I do love the herb beds, the deer will too.
How do you guys NOT talk to each other while you are out there ? You are both so funny and smart I can't imagine how you are not just chatting away
love both of you guys videos... Thank you for your time, and thank you for giving me/us the entertainment of watching both you, and your dad's channels! (you and your dad's vids & channels) Love them! Thumbs up :-)
Thank you Both,

My wife and me love do camping , wath you do is super..!
Love the Outhouse! Great job guys!
I love your pallet projects as I also make lots of things out of pallet wood....a.nd the father son time is great..linda in Florida USA
Great job I've been watching your pallet bielding from the beginning and I would like to thank you all for the inspiration for my pallet bielding. And I am going to film it and put it on y tube. Thanks again for the inspiration and I will keep watching y'all
Turning into a pallet wood palace!
I love this camp and all you guys have done to it
Absolutely love the theme of this series. Please, keep it going whenever you can! I really miss my dad, and the chances we would have had....
I love your videos. God bless!

i love all you and your dad have built it is awesome hope you well come up with more ideas

Good to see you finally built a ' karsey', only one negative comment, the roof should have been sloaped towards the rear. Cheers guys
A pallet wood privy love it keep up the great work we love watching what you do also TA fishing i watch with my daughter who absolutely loves to fish ..

hey poo power use the methane to run generator gas stove latern and stuff
You’d lose the rustic nature of it. Plus they’ve said they don’t care if it all rots away tomorrow
deck sealer and it would look the same
Like wood cabin very good u dad u are good wood craft people
7' 0" pallets can be got from some Department Store warehouses and suite makers. I used to deal with them many moons ago while working in a Debenham's Warehouse.
great video guys and another great build to add to the pallet wood cabin!
YAY!!! Thanks for another Pallet wood camp update. Great video.. i look forward to the next one. Cheers Mike and Graham
Couldn’t go wrong with a cheap plastic toilet seat or if you want pallet wood only maybe try laminating, good use of the scraps. great to hear from you both and glad your practicing proper fire safety, it would be safe to have a bucket of dirt or sand around for a budget extinguisher
Thank you for your prays Mike!!! Here in Greece we're having a horrible summer..We hope August will be better..Once again a great video!!! Happy holidays for you and your family!!!!

So glad you made the outhouse! Awesome design!! Now for the sauna-hint, hint!! Love that it's made out of pallets!!
Easy swingin'.
Heatwave here in sweden to like 5 weeks with 25-30 celsius everyday with loads off forrest fires allover the country. Nice video as always, keep the good work going.
Posthole digger.... move outhouse...then dig. But great work on the privy guys. A nice addition
if you get a plastic bucket and cut the bottom out, it would work as a chute. meaning less mess and more accuracy.
as well, if you keep some dried soil in there, and drop a handful in each time you go, it will keep the smell down.
Funny that you built a bar before the crapper. Glad to see Captain Quint made it back from shark fishing in the yellow submarine...I mean boat.
Awesome job guys keep up the great work 👍
Maybe next year you could add a small pond and put some of the fish you catch in it then it would really feel like home😀. Love both channels btw, each vid is like payday cant wait for it and hate to see it go lol.
No need for the sawdust. Just use the old leaf material that you were raking up. Works a charm!
My aunt and uncle's orchard in Hungary had an old outhouse . It had a bench with an oval hole. You can make one easy just using a wood panel (1 inch thick) with an oval hole cut out.
I would recommend putting plastic or tin on the roof to keep from getting rained on when using the outhouse, I know it has a roof but personally I would feel more comfortable with something covering either the roof or under the roof to keep rain water out
Watch the video. He is going to cover with roofing felt 12:30
An Awesome and much needed addition to the pallet wood project Mike.
Great job! What's next? Love your Dad!
I think that's a fine shitter gentlemen. Nicely done as always.
About time, one must have a pooper. Great build
same weather conditions over here in Germany... great video as always!
So cool ! Was wondering a bit about the lack of one. It looks good.Well done!
You should make a compost bin, to place leaves and such in. so can start on making good compost for the garden. also Make sure you save your wood ash from fires. Put it in a bucket for when you use the outhouse. sprinkle some of the wood ash after you done your business. it will help control the smell and help a bit with insects.

come stay with you AND have his coffee!!! :) :) Thanks for sharing. God Bless, from TEXAS!!

That's a beautiful camp.
Hey Mike, An outhouse is definitely essential. Not sure how you survived this long without it. ;) BTW that bacon you and your Dad are always cooking makes me jealous, looks so good. - Danny
hi mike Lee here from out here in Bulgaria ...glad you finally built a throne for your camp..!!! just like you said its practical.... maybe add an oval wooden seat for your bums..all the best mate..
PS oh yes and a lamp so you can see where your aiming..lol
Try picking up a cheap toilet seat. An ounce of comfort to avoid a splinter. I know it’s not pallet wood but..... great vid as usual. You need to cut a half moon for some light to get in. Thx for sharing. Fire bans here in North America as well.
cool out house
Here in the Rural Southeastern U.S. I have used these Outhouses many many times!. An oval hole in the seat works much Better! Also You might want to cover it with wood ashes from the fire... This would provide some Activated Charcoal to help absorb odors and other filth. You often see pictures of these with a 1/4 moon opening cut in the door. The moon was used to designate the WOMEN'S toilet. The outhouse for the men had a 5-pointed Star window in the door,.
Also use ash from your fire as well as the sawdust, like a layer of each
Looks like your dad did most of the work😜 great series
nice one TA outdoors loved every video
I wish I had space to do these projects. A small cabin adventure hut would be awesome.. map of the uk, pins of different destinations to tick off and trinkets from our travels...
You should cover up the fornt of toiletseat with palletwood to avoid having used paper flying around your feet 😀, and a lid could be handy. We have also have a very warm summer in Finland with temperature around 30 C and even warmer
Well done guys
You have some awesome little projects on your channel!
Love the lavvy for when your father drinks your coffee lol
Awesome
I have really enjoyed this project. I would like to see more overnite videos with you and your dad.
It may not be the outhouse I grew up with on the farm, but I hope it'll do for you 2 fellows.
Haha you've never used a thunder box before! put a floor in to get your 1" back and keep the crawling creatures out of your Pants!!
Oh and the front top board of the throne needs to stand vertical to give you some room for the crown Jewels etc!! and maybe cover the front of the throne area? in case of spry painting episodes! :-D great fun!
Reefer yep for sure! We put a pinned comment stating things we were going to add
Reefer obviously from the terminology another Aussie how they hangin cob
