Hell, a blast with the big gun might get things moving as well !

That is how it was built. We had a 6x6 bull walk right thru camp in the middle of the day this year. . .never go to the shitter without your rifle !!

Happy birthday FishRanger :-) Great elk camp again this year. Needed mohr killing but there is always next year.

Off in a few days for some snow hunting in the Methow.

That shitter pic is a helluva lot better than F4B's shitter pic for sure! Thanks for sharing

and Seastrike, sorry to learn about your little problem, hope you heal up soon buddy

One of my mantra's in the woods around here is never go to the shitter without a gun. A handful of times now I've had both bears and wolves pop out of the brush while my pants were down. They seem to know when you are most vulnerable.

Getting kilt while answering the call of nature would make for some awkward funeral talk, "at least he died doing what he loved" etc.

A .44 in a chest holster loaded for bear is a good thing to keep handy whatever you are up to in the bushes in AK.

Much smaller than what many folks are probably looking for in a bigger camp tent, but Alaska Tent and Tarp's Artic Oven line has a pretty loyal following up here.

They are bombproof, come in a variety of configurations, and come rigging for stove.

They make more traditional style wall tents as well.

I've used the 12' Arctika and the 10' Artic Oven and both have been awesome.

A friend of mine that was raised in Alaska and had a favorite downed tree that was just the right height for his morning constitutional. Well one morning he was sitting on the log contemplating the meaning of life when his dog came up from behind and laid a great big lick in the money spot. He said he had to go back and get his shoes later.

Bullseye!

The Sh!tter is exactly how two of my buddies got their deer this year. Our crapper doesn't have a door and overlooks a pond. He made it about 5 minutes out of camp on his ATV when the oh oh moment came so he turned around. While taking a seat he sees a couple of bucks work their way past the pond and down a little draw. So he finishes up and shoots the bigger of the two bucks. The second deer was a spike who beds down next to his dead buddy. Gets his FIL on the radio who an hour or so later shoots the spike.

Better to be lucky than good!

Only problem with that story is that he finished, then shot .. . .anybody knows that you take the shot, deal with business after. . . ..
Which is why I built the shitter with the windows/murder holes at the height a shouldered rifle would be from the seated position. . . and the front faces the area that has the 100+ yard view. . .. .

He left his rifle on the ATV. He's got the memo now.

On my wilderness hunts I always make sure that I have to reach over the bow to get the tp.

There is a waypoint on my gps, Hide 1.2. Don't go there unless you want to find a few piles of crap. Normally a 1 crap a day guy, but elk camp was different. I bet there are at least 6 piles at that waypoint.

You are a changed man. . . . .. it must be the deluxe shitter .. . . .
