What I hated the worst was visiting the outhouse in the winter. BRRRRR.

Yep. When I began prepping in 98 I placed the flush toilet 2nd after safe water. Over the last 14 years I have backed up our back ups three different ways. A glacial surge and/or a supernova will overcome us before we give up the flush toilet.

Two weeks in a winter camp taught me to appreciate the wonders of western plumbing.

LOL. I heard That! We did buy a bedside potty chair for my Dad before he died. We decided to keep it just in case of sewer backup, so we would have a backup plan for the flush toilet too. A little here and a little there, and we are in better shape than many.
