Outhouse Bear Bites Woman's Butt

We all know about the outhouse mouse but this is going too far!

Look where that bear chose to spend the winter; and that's why I don't eat bears.

That bear wasn't taking any crap

Wait, outhouses are still a thing?

Why did the lyrics, "there's a bad moon rising, there's a bathroom on the right" just pop into my head. LOL

A bear bit my bum

Why would they post a picture of her face?

That's anew use for the term"Bear bottom" for sure.

That's anew use for the term"Bear bottom" for sure.

I would like to understand how he got under there. Outhouses here are a solid wood structure set over a hole dug down four to six feet. There's no way a bear could get in there.

I imagine there's no dug hole in Alaskan outhouses due to permafrost? Anyone care to educate me?

We have one at our camp.We are "off the grid" up there. Never had a bear in it though.Once in a while a beehive maybe.

Oh man ! That is outstanding!!


One spring visiting a friend ...... We heard his wife scream. Ran out to help just as she flew out of the outhouse. Really deep hole ! Probably 15 feet.

We look in and see two red fox kits at the bottom of the hole. We fished them out with a pole and a loop and turned them loose ! Not quite prime !

If you are smart you have an outhouse even if you have indoor plumbing. I have seen a lot of septic systems freeze completely.

At least I can stop worrying about spiders now. .

We should probably see the wound to see how bad it was.

When I was young we had an outhouse. We had a cat that would follow me to the outhouse and would always jump on the lid when I opened the door. Someone had left the lid up and the cat ended up perched on the excrement mountain at the bottom of the outhouse. Mom took a broom and lowered it down to the cat. It clung to the broom and she hauled it out. By the next day it was clean as a whistle. Nasty! . This outhouse was the Caddilac of outhouses. The tank, throne and floor were concrete.

My folks lived two years on the border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. When I visited them and used their outhouse every time something dropped you heard the skittering around of hundreds of huge cockroaches. I guess better than the roar of an upset ursid.

I would rather deal with a bear than the bees.

I had to have a soil scientist come out and engineer mine. Seriously.

That's when the spiders come out. Scare you worse than any bear.

Wow

An old high school pal of mine, that has been in Alaska over 40 years, said there was always a sh*tlagmite contest in Fairbanks each winter among the outhouse users. Because the crap would freeze hard when it was sub-zero, it tended to pile up in a stalagmite that would be quite impressive. Those that didn't partake in the contest would have to periodically knock the top off the sphire so it didn't grow up and out the crapper hole. I ain't ever been to Fairbanks in the cold months, so I don't know if the story is true, or just a bunch of crap.....

I assure you that is a true occurrence !!

Most folks keep a hatchet or a Pulaski in the outhouse !

Jeez, Ken.....did you ever place in the contest?

Nope I was told to butt out !

That's almost too horrendous a concept to contemplate! Having to hack off someone else's before it impales ye!

I actually have an outhouse. Wouldn't have it any other way. But, mine is positioned over a ditch and so gets flushed by the pretty regular rains.

One time though, a friend came round to help me with a fence? He availed himself of the facilities whilst I got the kettle on. Lawd knows what he'd eaten. But, I popped in for my own constitutional ~ no rain ~ and staggered out, literally vomiting! That was grim!

TMI !!

You go to an outhouse at night in the jungle in Central and South America... tarantulas, scorpions, snakes, giant cockroaches, oh my. I like to see all of those critters, so not to bothered by them, but it is hilarious when an arachnophobic or roachophobic fresh from the states goes for the first time in the middle of the night. Have a video camera ready.

I have a friend in California that has an outhouse with a flush toilet and a sink.
