Yep. Lots of timber, unfortunately the big stuff is mostly gone. Every once in a while I run across some old growth Doug Fir. There were five or six in this one stand that didn't get cut for some reason.

There's no running water here except for the water I have to run and get.
For drinking water I go to a local spring that never freezes over, though I have to chop ice away to fit in a 5 gallon jug with an axe or chainsaw.
For washing I just melt snow.

Sure I would.........they're in muh bibs.
People think I'm full of **** (I probably am) but folks that have spent a lot of time in the north can get a rough guess at the temp from a picture. The crystals on the snow, the clear blues sky... yep it's below zero in the north

The coldest I've ever been was when it was just above freezing.......slight rain, and hard wind.
When it gets cold enough for everything to freeze, the air gets dry.......and it's better to me.

It's about how far you are willing to go to make something turn out right. From what you've shown me.......you're not scared to go the extra mile.

It's 35 below here now. Outdoor activities are mostly limited to getting firewood unless forced to go skiing or tobaggoning.
I stay mostly inside working on saws and stoking the fire. It snowed about 6 inches during a warm spell so I banked the snow around the shack which helps to keep the cold out.

No but as Randy says, its better to crap in a bucket. I generally crap in a plastic bag which lines the bucket.Hope you have a wood stove in the outhouse
The bag gets put outside to facilitate freezing. Then the offending loaf gets thrown into the fire.
But don't miss or the bag melts and it's a poopy mess. So as you can see it requires some skill.
This barbaric act is limited to temps below minus 20.

If you pee outside at 20 below {farenheit?}, does it freeze before it hits the ground? Or does it depend on how tall you are? Or how
endowed you are?
