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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

I feel like everyone needs a cousin Gino

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.

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

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

Love the quick release holder!! 🥰

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

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

Called a thunder box here in Australia 😂

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

Now that’s a good thumbnail!

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

Good video! 👍

Nice video. Thanks for posting

you all are having too much fun. happy grumping

This way, we keep things green,😆.

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

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!

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!

If I ever visit I'll be sure to take the PRD before I get on site!

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

Nice!

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.

The animals are gonna love it!!LOL!!

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

Nice work - am just about to build one at my forest school/camping spot in Hong Kong We call it a Biffy!

I was worried the fires had affected you. Looks like you are good so far.

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.

Best outdoor toilet is a fence deep in the woods 😂

Trying to eat my breakfast and listen to you explain grubbers is not appetizing😂

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

Above many men, this man is a legend

gino, is funny... "good thing i don't know what that is" lol.

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

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

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

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

I’ve always called it dumpin a grumpy!

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.

1:01 OH MAN I'm laughing so hard. Sometimes the recommended depth just doesn't work! 😂

Wait wait wait. Did my man really say that hole was just deep enough after he dropped a log ? 😂😂😂😂😂

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

You are a strange man. Don't ever change 😂

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.

The grumper to take a dumper!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

why were we all excited to watch this!? hahahahaha

pooping in the bush is the best so relaxing

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

Obituaries...Beloved BKXC mulled by a bear in an open-air Grumper 🐻

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

measuring in cm is the best idea

Standing in front of an outhouse, and says "Thanks for watching"

Is this a compost toilet? How do you empty it?

Dig the outro music 🎵

When are the pain and pleasure shirts coming back?!! They are rad and I want one…

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.

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. 💩 ✅

@1:22min in, what you should have said was "building a grumper to take a dumper"💩 😁 Love the signage, very Grumper 😅 And the 20 people that have disliked this so far....well...its obvious they have never took a dump in the woods😂

Still dug a hole! It can be done with no holes.

So many horrendous puns! Endless potential [>

@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 :)

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.

Over here in Africa we call it a "long drop" 🤣

I’m going to take a trip to the property just to use the official BKXC outhouse

patreons are in for a treat withing this one UNCUT ;)

Grumper Dumper? lol

No squatty potty/ toilet stool?

Take a dumper in the grumper!

Oh shit!

8:55 maybe a bicycle bell would be better

Does a Bear S@%t in the woods? Yep them and Mountain Bikers : )

What is next? "I pooped today" vids POV?" lol

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.

One word.. Backhoe, or a second word.. excavator.

#2 is awesome towards #1

Why did the craftsmen work in metric? Is that just them or are more US craftsmen using metric?

Use a demo hammer with a long bit

Had a Banty rooster guarding the out house. I would move left so would he. Same for moving right. His spurs was an inch and a half long.

Classic the grumper is born..or should I say the grumper once here now gone…

this outhouse brought to you by Ibis Cycles

Wow I’m actually early enough to see the first 20 people admitting there first

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

😁

Maybe instead of the loud air horn, a ships brass bell like they use at trader Joe's. Two dingy dingies means mission accomplished, one dingy dingy means taking longer than expected. Continuous ringing means, oh crap I'm outta butt wipe, being more!!🔔🔔💩

It’s pumping a grumpy

No ash…. Moss !!!!

Maybe a door and a roof will make it complete.

Grumper..... Grim Dumper

What about the name area 91 for name of your amazing property
