I have the family maple dining table that replaced one of those.^^^^

My Grandmother on my father’s side had that same set except hers was light green.

Our set was like that but yellow.

Seems like I remember seeing them in red, green, yellow and blue.

We had a dinette set like that only the table was gray, and the seat pads were red.

I remember saving our chamberpot piss for nitre so we could make gunpowder! We whupped them injuns and lobsterbacks too! Daddy made a razor strop out of the back skin of a Shawnee!

Outhouse with catalog as a kid. Moved into town when I was 7.

I've used the bath washtub for baths as recently as a few years ago- 5? at the Cosna cabin. That was an upgrade from the river, believe me!

We always made the kids quit playing in the river and shreaking at a certain hue of blue.

Then we got decadent and bought one of those solar-heat shower bags, tho we heat the water on the stove. The shower is 3 trees in a triangle a few feet out the cabin door, a piece of plywood for the base, a tarp stapled up to the trees for walls. Planks run from the door to the shower. Skeeters aren't much bother. Usually.

The outhouse is similarily constructed of spruce poles for frame, but with a roof. On arrival I put a tarp up around the frame, mostly to confine the smoke from the PIC skeeter repellant. We do use real TP, tho.

I went this route after losing a couple better constructed outhouses to flooding. This one has lasted almost 20 years. 2nd tarp, I think. Taken down and stored when we leave.

Necessity is a mother.....or something like that.

And yet antidepressants are passed out like candy to today’s youth.
No generation has had it so good with so many opportunities, but yet seem to suffer the most mental anxieties.

we still have and use a very old dining room wood table made by wife`s grandpa its around 100 years old . i do not mis outdoor toilets ever,that smell a person never will forget ever or the bugs ,mice maybe a dam snake ,had to keep the T.P. in a old coffee can or a box so animals did not chew it up and the old sears catalog nailed up next to one of the holes if you had no T.P. NO THANKS.

Still use one at the cabin and the wind flat howls...

Even old Henry thinks its too cold!

You guys are old AF.

I think some of you like to pretend you are as old as your parents.

That or you grew up dirt fugking poor.

Growing up there was only a wall furnace, one side to the living room and the other to the hallway. Half way through the night when it was cold in the bedroom I would get up and lay like that on the floor, if you were first you got the living room with carpet, otherwise if already taken the hallway on the linoleum.

We weren't poor but lived like it, I thought we were.

What is this wash tub you speak of?

you want cold to take a dump , try -30 celcius with a another 10 deg wind chill out on a pipe line, you don't waste any time.

I didn’t have an outhouse until I moved to Fairbanks.

Rule #1

If you are in the outhouse leave the door open, so some else doesn't make the trip in the cold.

TP goes in a Folgers can to stop the mice from chewing it.

Did you have one of these toys?
