Now you know why i preferred to pee on my pants when i was a kid visiting my grandparents, instead of using one of those at night, i always felt
something was ready to come out of that hole and bite me.

MOST SCENIC TOILET....
Believe me, I was very surprised to come across this toilet. I was fishing a remote lake (Kississing Lake) in way-up-north Manitoba. Some fly-in
lodge must have decided their customers needed a sit-down convenience! Next time I will bring a book and spend the day.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

I recommend the leaves of the sweet balsam.

Can you throw them in the pit or is there a can to the side?

Actually, I thought those banos made a nice, sheltered place to eat my tortas out of the wind.

We had a two seater when I was little. I guess the idea was that a family should do everything together. I always waited until I could get in there
by myself. I don't think conversation is good for pooping. Of course, in the Navy, they just lined them up one after the other. I think so many
guys raised a stink about this that they now have stalls on ships and in bootcamp.
If there is no fishing in heaven, I am not going

Here's a cold thought !
Back in the old days, many of the larger western ski areas had outhouses up in remote spots on the hills. You often had to do some digging to get in
the door.
Of course, half the time there was no TP or it was wet/frozen.
The alternative was a few handfuls of snow !
I found light powder to be much more pleasant then the more ice-like, older snow.......

Speaking of the Navy, I forgot what kind of ship my uncle served on in WWII, but it had a uniquely efficient "head". The row of seats were mounted
over holes in a metal trough. Sea water entered one end of the trough and exited the other in a constant flow. No flushing required. One day my
uncle pulled a prank on his shipmates. he snuck a diesel-soaked rag into the head, set it on fire and dropped it into the top end of the trough. As
he described it, the row of guys were popping up sequentially like prairie dogs, then chasing him while pulling up pants and howling for revenge.
For those of you who didn't see this at "Thaaaat place", here's another example of military humor:

A breezy bano
I was 17 on my first visit to San Juanico and at that time ('73)
it was still a seasonal fish camp with about 8 shacks up on the bluff .
The pangas used to launch from the beach just below where the town is currently located and that's where all the activity was and where most of the
pangeros slept.
My friends (2 guys) and I stayed in one of the shacks and the only "faciilties" was a very breezy outhouse perched on the edge of the bluff.
The seat was cantilevered out over the edge of the cliff so your butt was suspended in the air and if you looked down, you'd see pangas below you.
The nearest vegetation for coverage was quarter of a mile away in the desert.
I used the outhouse only once or twice but mainly just avoided drinking anything and don't think I pooped for 2 weeks.
I have photos of that trip but never took one of the outhouse. At that age, it must have been too "traumatic" to acknowledge!

Dirteaters' pic of a Central American privy over water reminds me of Belize. Before they moved the capital inland, the main port city of the same
name was the biggest and most "advanced" town. A few hotels and government offices in the center had indoor plumbing. But most of the surrounding
lower-income neighborhoods along the bay were at or slightly below sea-level making backyard outhouses impractical. The former Brit government's
sanitary solution was to construct public privies at the end of small piers jutting into the bay every block or so.
For a first-timer this was quite an experience. One soon learned to alway carry one's own paper, as well as matches to check for spiders, scorpions
or "accidents". Then when the unsuspecting newbie sat and proceded with the necessary procedure, the water below would instantly erupt into a loud
splashing "boil"., which was startling to say the least. This was caused by dozens of saltwater catfish who provided a very effective system of
sanitation.
I always thought that sitting in one of these structures with a fishing line in the water would constitute an almost perfect recycling mini-ecosystem.
Unfortunately, (or rather, fortunately), it was illegal to catch and keep the bay catfish.
On a slightly different note, there were few municipal waterlines either, so many homes had a raised water tank in the back, filled by truck. The
health dept. would distribute small fish for the tanks and check on them from time to time. The primary purpose of the fish was to keep the tanks
free of mosquito larvae. Also, if the fish were alive, you knew the water was relatively "safe" for humans.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
