I'm surprised nobody has brought up the convenience of having an indoor chitter. A bucket buddy is yer friend...as is the midnight pee bottle...
Nothing like taking the ol' morning constitution in woodstove heated comfort as compared to the wind-blown, snow-covered latrine log at 0 degrees...... I'm not into huffing a lot of s h i t fumes. With a few folks in the tent, that would get downright unbearable. I'd much sooner put up a small crapper tent.

I agree w/ not having a bathroom inside... I time my need to use the outhouse better.

Looks like a latrine tent to the bottom right of that pic!

Good eye ready_on_the_right, That's a royal throne from Davis Tent. I just use it as a shower tent. My latrine is conveniently located in 3 separate places (Those nice large 5th wheels)

The steel post stakes aren't really hard to get out, just a couple knocks on the side to get them loosened. I took the spade plates off the posts. I always have a pick to dig the crapper with. In the picture, Dad had just grabbed the pick loosen up the stakes.

The spade plates on the stakes work great in sandy soil. Good to have a few of those in your kit.

I always set up a Crapper tent, Simple A frame set up with Canvas Tarp as the roof. Crapper is dug with a Post Hole Digger, Then The Plywood Crapper Box with standard seat gets set over it. Tent Stakes are 18" Concrete stakes, I also bring a few 24" and 36" for real windy conditions or bad soil. 3lb hammer. Cut Off T-posts would not work very well where I set up sometimes, Rocks or Having them freeze in when it gets below zero. Hard enough to get the concrete stakes out of frozen ground. One Guy I know uses 4' sections of 1/2 Galvanized water pipe for staking a large Army Tent. Floor is a Poly tarp with 6'wide rolls of Cheap Indoor Outdoor carpet from Home Depot. The Stove side gets a short roll. White heavy Poly tarp for roof slide/Rain Fly. I bought the long leg kit for my Cylinder Stove to solve the ground catching on fire issue

How do you do that with 2 ft of snow on the ground?
Last year I figured it out. I'm too old to do all that setting up, tearing down chopping wood. I jacked the tent up and ran a pop up slide in camper under it on my Dodge. Then put the tent in case and stored it. Funny thing. When I was younger,we always had a few older guys in camp and we told them to sit back and relax while us younger guys did all the work. Now I'm older and the young guys say they don't want to work that hard hunting. Go figure

Go figure The main reason I'm thinking of quitting is all the hard work involved in getting to a site early, sitting up and getting ready for opening day. I don't mind cutting but splitting wood is a killer job for an old man Seems like nobody can miss a day or two of work and just show up on Friday afternoon ready to hunt. Most years I'm worn out by Sunday afternoon

We use a pop-up blind as our crapper cover. Keeps the snow and wind off you while giving you a little privacy. Works great plus you can hunt while on the pot which is more effective than one would expect.
