The industrious and indomitable Flapz and I are hard at work laying in supplies by the family fire pit for the upcoming fall/winter season. In the middle of a blazing summer heatwave. His new gas powered log splitter punches out firewood faster than you can even think about it. 30 minutes in, we were soaked in sweat. After an hour we chugged water by the galloon. An hour and an half later we needed to urinate. And of course - going in the house meant taking off ya shoes, stirring up his two ankle biting pocket dogs and pandemonium.
Ever since he bought the place last year I’ve been threatening to install a few convenient desert roses around the place so we don’t have to walk all the way up to the house to tap a kidney. I’m really impressed with the “desert rose” improvised urinals invented by the Marines during the Sand Box Wars.
But Flapz, that magnificent bastard - has found a far more elegant solution! Lookit this!
No kidding! They actually make these things! There’s even a couple of mints in it to keep it “Forest fresh”!! ! So this winter there’ll be no unsightly yellow snow drifts round the fire pit. VIP Guests like me will be able to do our business in the blissful comfort and privacy of the trees - provided we are sober enough to pee standing up without hanging on to the walls!
🥴👍
Up here in Alberta we don’t mess around. We are all about solutions, all the time. Outdoor plumbing - it’s real, and it’s a thing. I hope your Labour Day weekend was a success, and that your chores are all done. Today is a day to play with the kids, go out for coffees with the wife and friends and take care of the needful things that make life worth living.
Cheers!

Is that desert rose thing recyclable? Earth lovers wanna know.
ReplyDeleteSaw something like that out in Queerbec. Hanging off of the Maple trees. They all had little lines to take your, ahem deposit, out of the forest. Nice of them to provide so many of them for the hikers.
ReplyDeleteWhat the actual hell?? Just find an ant bed and whip it out!! Jeez. Some people.
ReplyDeleteNot worried about mice making a home in pipe while gone from camp and making threats waving fist ? :^) In inebbriated state, you will wonder if you REALLY see that !!
ReplyDeleteAm I missing something, why not just piss anywhere out in the woods,and just move around.
ReplyDeleteIn Tennessee, we just walk over to the edge of the pad, driveway or yard and pick a target. It's surprisingly couth...and free.
ReplyDeleteI don't really see the need for a drain can tacked to a tree. Here in the North East section of Californistan, I have several piss trees. The ones closer to the road are for after dark use.
