Reminds me of that T.V. commercial with the bear headed for the woods with his roll of t-paper....!!

Maybe you can get one of those seat-thingies that they sell for deer hunting season...it's a cushion that heats up when you sit on it (compression causes it). Cut a hole in the center! :-D

Maybe a prybar and spray de - icer as a "hindsight" solution? :>)

The seat will warm up pretty fast, but avoid that cold wind and blowing snow, I never understand how it can blow OUT of the hole!

Well, Kirk, considering where you live, you may not know about them, but how about an ice fishing shanty? It would be warmer than sitting out in the freezing weather . . . But if you get freezing weather, why doesn't your throne freeze up?

Diane: When dealing with an open air throne its always best to carry the paper out of the house under your coat! Damp paper causes problems!!

Jay thats an exellent idea!! Prybar them buns right up!

Joy no water to the potty yet. Just dump a bucket a water down the hole and good til the next time.

And what keeps the water left in the bowl, the water that makes the seal from sewer gases, from freezing? Maybe it doesn't really get to freezing there? My understanding is that if that water freezes, it can break the porcelain potty. Not to mention blocking the whole thing up . . . . .

Hi Kirk . . . How about making the seat removable and taking it back and forth to the facility . . . if the nosy neighbors point and laugh, just tell 'em you going out to test your new custom boomerang. Or tell 'em you are tired of "crapping out" at horseshoes and going to give the game another twist. LOL!

Hope your dilemma gets solved; whenever I'm out in the brush and need to leave scatological evidence, that north wind is BRISK!

Hey Joy your right! Got me curious so I found "toilet heaven" at CS And found I hooked it up the end of January. We must not have had a serious freeze after that or surely it would have broken the bowl. I won't be so lucky this year. I also have one of those R.V. toilets that shoot straight down. That one should work. You saved me one toilet!!! I owe you.....Kirk

J.R. Really funny!! Good thing I can hear anyone driving up from a long way off. Get the business done and get off! One good thing is I don't need an exaust fan Huh? I've really been hoping someone will come driving up and want to use the bathroom!!!.....Kirk

Kirk, This is too funny! By the way, listen to j.r. I read a book once (can't remember the name of it anymore), but this gal moved to Alaska to a one room cabin, with, of course, an outhouse. After leaving half the skin on her fanny behind, her neighbor informed her that everyone removes the seat and takes it in and out with them. I remember something about there being a hook close to the woodstove to hang it on. A place of honor you might say.
