I never seen an outhouse quite like that before. But i do know a guy who has two buried IBC totes for a septic system! ;D
At least the new one is the one that tipped over
Yes! That video took 26 hrs to upload from the cabin.

Sounds like a use case for Starlink?
No starlink available here until late november they say, and by then I will have shut the cabin down until spring. I can't justify the cost of starlink as my video making has negative income now.
Why not dig a whole. Make a tall box without a bottom or top in it, set in the whole. Backfill, set the out house over it. When your dun your thing, though, a handful of lime down in. The thing will outlast you . Never have to pull a nasty barrel again.

Yeah same. I think that ship sailed.
Throw a stick of dynamite in that barrel and I bet views would go up. Do you use keywords? Some like dirty jobs on a video like that may help some.
Recently YouTube uploads have slowed way down for me. They have added many AI keyword and copyright checks stretching most uploads out to 2 or 3 hours on my high speed connection. If there are any local coffee shops in your closest town many of them offer free high speed connections.
When I was a kid we would just dig about a 2 ft diameter hole next to the outhouse and pull it over it with the car. Then throw the dirt dug up on top of the old hole and in a year it would be almost level.

I can't say I've ever seen one exactly like that .I have although seen a "digester " made of two barrels for a little used for a summer cabin .It basically worked like a small septic tank .
Seeing you driving with that loaded barrel makes me want to pucker just watching.
Feel free to use my composting toilet design. get rid of your sawdust and poo all at the same time. :D
This ground is about a foot to 2 ft of various soil type including clay, then just clay. In the video you can see the ground water had been moving around that barrel, so any hole is going to just fill with water. Pete apparently knew that going in is why he did it the way he did it, and it actually has worked well until the tank pumpers took to gouging. 350 was quoted and that was stopping by after pumping the neighbors tank. Nope.
It does need to be something different, but its only had to be pumped 3 times in 25 years and it does pretty much compost in there.
I remember the old "two holers " when I was just a sprout that had a type of vent .What I don't remember was falling through the hole about the time I learned to walk .Ooops !
I've just about completed a "two holer", where the seat can be moved from side to side to more evenly fill the pit, at least that's the theory. Dug deep enough and big enough to hide a body and last the rest of my lifetime, considering only two of us and the composting factor. It's a lodgepole pole building with board and bat on the outside. Just need to find a throne that fits!
My grandmother didn't have plumbing until she was about 80 years old .Carried water from the spring every morning and still swung an axe splitting firewood at over 80 .Of course she had a privy with the always present Sears and Roebuck catalog for emergency use .I think she was 96 when she passed . .

Reminds me of the old tale about the woman who said "It would be easier to just have another kid than to clean this one up." Was that you they were talking about? :D
Boy you can wind up with a lotta kids that way.
As the story was told to me my mother had me with her at the privy and stood me up while she attended to her business .She looked around and I had disappeared .She found me and rescued me by grabbing my little Osh gosh b gosh bib overall suspenders . I only sunk in knee deep .It would have been worse if I had toppled in head first .If that would have happened they would have called me s---head the rest of my life .Some do that already . :D I'm sure she got me cleaned up but did have 4 more kids after me .
