No more digging holes, we built an outhouse | Building Everstoke

[@tonyp.2608]

Hey Brian, a trick we used in the Marines when we were in Afghanistan for urination facilities , 4" PVC pip at a 45 degree angle set in the groung about 3' , kept the smell away usually and would filter into the ground. Just a friendly tip sir.

Good Ole piss tubes, marines in Ramadi showed me that trick

Hi Brian, use Lime after a number 2. I have built several out houses in different regions, and we have a bucket (with lid) of lime and a scooper. Only takes a single scoop over the top of the feces and off you go. It helps it breakdown quickly, so a hole as deep as the one you dug will last a couple years at least.

[@outbackwack368]

Lime... Lyme is the tick-borne disease lol

[@lforrest14]

@@outbackwack368 I thought I have put that, maybe a victim of my auto correct lol

[@stevenhu202]

ash and lime are basically the same thing. If he is gonna have campfires or charcoal grills he will have plenty to cover up with.

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Couple of years lmao. Usually people do a 4 foot by 4 foot hole 6 feet deep and you'll fill that up in a year or two with any regularity. That little hole will fill up in a week

[@CaliradoKid]

Many great stories were started with “if you’ve never pooped in the woods…”. 😂

Lol

Protip: crap doesn't stick to rabbit fur

[@bluefungi]

Oh yea. 1st time I tried shitting in the woods I was on acid. 😂

[@joeyhochgesang1391]

From experiance: ventilation is your friend. And not just the top! Having air flow at the bottom and top of the out house will make a huge impact on odor.

[@bergerniklas6647]

Pretty sure that hole is not neartly deep and big enough. If i remember correctly, at least 15 feet are recommended. And that is with changing the location after a time.

[@elyhim]

I'm starting to notice Brian half-assing a lot of stuff lol.

[@Jon-nz3dm]

He's gonna end up moving that thing every week...that hole is wayyyy too shallow.

[@Will99x]

Wait until the bears find it

[@lindalarsson1436]

I agree.

[@mtbingadventures1551]

The Grumper has been a trooper. I've put that thing through some serious situations.

🥲

The grogan grinder!

[@involuntarydismount6135]

Glad to see your family staying fully involved! You're living the dream and that's awesome.

[@krismiller6663]

Hi Brian, Kris M. from Ct, We grew up with an old functioning outhouse ! In side we had a bag of Lime, the top open with a plastic cup inside . After you deposit your contribution into mother earth sprinkle a little lime on top. This should help keep the unpleasant aroma to a minimum. Looking forward to watching you build your little slice of the pie ! Good luck

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

You had me at hello! 🤣 you can add water to the hole to loosen the soil to help dig. Great video

[@barelyfree9427]

We live in a small 1 toilet farm house, no way to easily add another toilet, so we've been looking into outhouse construction, thanks for the vid!

[@jkinart]

The open air grumpers I've used while canoeing in Northern Ontario were always referred to as a Thunder Box

[@ia5662]

hahaha that is great

[@jayparker8211]

I’ve used a few thunder boxes in Northern Ontario as well. The Temagami area has a few with nice views.

[@BienvenidoEspinal]

Love the quick release holder!! 🥰

[@maconSTUFF]

Make a sign that says "Pee on a Tree, Poo in the Loo"... 😂👍

[@GMoneyLove]

Cordless post-hole auger... about $200-$300 bucks from Home Despot or Lowes. You could make that 6ft hole and it would be worth the investment for the future if you need to place posts anywhere else in your builds.

[@Friskee62]

Great idea...I thought the same thing.

[@copperstatebiking378]

I love watching this project unfold! I can’t wait until it is finished, it will be a beauty! 😀

[@gr8fulride]

you all are having too much fun. happy grumping

[@carolleenkelmann4751]

I think the name "Grumper" , with the addition of "Bumper" is perfect. Let's see it finished. You could burn off some of that dry scrub for some ash.

[@bkxc]

Hahaha

[@edwinbear7065]

I LOVE building videos, and I can't wait to follow you guys building new stuff. This is gonna be great.

[@slackerjo]

Are you going to plant some lilac bushes around there to keep everything smelling nice?

[@marklandwehr7604]

An ax can help with the digging here in Alaska we struggle with permafrost

Glad you enjoyed it!

Called a thunder box here in Australia 😂

[@flat9safety]

I feel like everyone needs a cousin Gino

[@middleofthenightmiddleofth1013]

Heck I grow up with an outhouse an daddy never had to move or dig or had to fill in the hole. The chicken's an the dog kept it cleaned all up. So it all worked out keeping the ground cleaned up. Nasty I no but the chicken's an a dog helped quite a bit. So use in digging a hole. Quite helpful I can tell ya.

[@wasaker09]

This reminds me of my recent Downieville bikepacking trip. We found not one but two crappers in the woods in the middle of nowhere. They didn't look as serviceable as your Grumper though. This video had me grinning the whole way through. P.S. I'm planning on coming down one of these weekends soon!

[@cartercalibrations]

These videos have been so awesome. Well done !!!

oh....I really want to travel to that place and use the Grumper....

[@sparks701]

Air horn will come in handy when them bears catch you with your pants down!

[@andybacon6007]

I never thought I'd be watching a video on building a dunny! Very amusing. Maybe with all that 'output' you should consider diversification into growing organic veg. I can see it now... a roadside stall selling rhubarb, tomatoes and celery. After all, you've got 91 acres to work with. In time the bike stuff will be a distant memory

[@Ahmadandwoods]

Good video! 👍

[@howardcliver7894]

I’ve always called it dumpin a grumpy!

[@bkxc]

Hahahaha

[@MrKimberr]

You need a post hole digger and post hole auger. Use them for later features too.

[@Kev-Downunder]

lol used something similar in South African Defence force. They were tapered with a funnel style top. Same thing at 45Degrees. We called them a piss Lilly 'cause they were yellow PVC

[@kevywilliams3304]

You don’t need a hole .. watch Swedish outhouse videos .. 5 gallon bucket .. collect a weeks worth of moss and dirt .. put it on your doings when you go … it dehydrates all solids taking smell away 100% .. take 2 people 1 plus week to fill a 5 gallon.

[@springfieldbearpatrol2937]

That wood is so nice. Keep a stain on it to keep it protected. You can buy a quality oil based stain above 5,000 feet in CA. Cabot is a popular brand.

[@jerryf581]

The animals are gonna love it!!LOL!!

[@BriankSmith181]

coconut potting soil additive,its shavings and works well in composting toilets,i.e. bucket.

[@umbrellahole]

6:30 won't adding stuff to it fill the hole faster and make needing to move the house.

[@JB50713]

You could say it's the #2 use for that lumber.

[@octodadmtbmartyrichards2862]

As a former professional long drop cleaner and builder I recommend: a high chimney to create negative draft out of the pit and a bucket of lime flour to sprinkle between dumps. This will neutralise ph and make it compost more. 💩 ✅

[@donaldwest8130]

I'd use a tractor with a auger bit to make short work of this as it's the hardest part. You definitely need a roof and at least a six foot pit.

[@rowdywombatadventures8755]

We call ours “the devlin ” from the movie Just go with it. And thanks for using metric 🇦🇺

[@EmersonCampbell-t4z]

This way, we keep things green,😆.

[@karenmcnamara854]

An exquisite out house!! lucky to have so much help.. But wait, what? a two foot hole?? how can that be?

[@bkxc]

Haha, it's still standing today!! We went a bit deeper, but only used it for a couple months.

[@BrianVaughn]

No one had an auger to drill that hole? Could have made than thing 10' deep.

[@cordellfulton2964]

[@dudeonbike800]

FYI desert rats: No more digging holes in the desert! Unfortunately, southwest visitation numbers are so high, that those enjoying this beautiful area are now going to have to Pack It Out! Too many people in a fragile desert environment means it can't handle all the poop! So for all of us who love Moab and similar locations, please plan accordingly. You may even see WAG bags at trailheads and campgrounds without toilets. So if you're living the van life and want to see these areas, be sure to come prepared. That way, you can "go" prepared!!! The book "How to Poop in the Woods" may need some updating. The use of "growlers" and other portable "facilities" have been standard river running fare for decades. Well it's now time for the rest of the traveling population to get with the routine.

[@kittykat7618]

Nice!

[@howardcliver7894]

Whenever you leave for a longer period, pour a few gallons of water in with a box of Ridex. The enzymes will eat the doo doo. Did that at my cabin for years.

Need a door and a roof. On a sunny day it'a not too bad, but if it gets windy, wet and cold you won't regret doing so.

[@lindalarsson1436]

That's crazy when it's 9:40 open. Animals could be waiting . . And If a woman uses it that's intimidating at night.

@BKXC Just bought my first house. Turns out our water line had a leak in it and we ended up digging a rather wide 4' hole to get to the broken PVC elbow. It was not fun :)

Have you guys done topography to see how property is shaped? if mot maybe a drone can work with recappro etc...

why were we all excited to watch this!? hahahahaha

[@lydiaahubbell8545]

So, you just overlap the fence boards a bit? They are flat on both sides, right? My ex built a shed and just stacked them one on top of the obher, not "shingled.

[@jayfro8340]

Its so much easier to just make a door on the back of your out house and use a 30 gallon bucket that you can slide out and dump. If you use enough saw dust it never stinks like crap. The pee is the only thing that stinks if you dont have a diverter.

[@slowmobius2136]

Lol you’re supposed to find something to lean on to make it easier. Squatting in the open like that lol burns
