Toilet Cozy

I have a camp in northern Ontario, 200 miles north of Sault Saint Marie - where temps hover at times in the -40° F range and even colder - and I have a suggestion for a really comfortable outhouse seat, especially for winter. Take a piece of Styrofoam or bead board - not the rigid or hard form- preferably an inch thick. Our first one was cut from the side of a foam cooler. Cut out a match for the existing hole in the board used for a seat, and fasten it down. Believe me, a trip to the outhouse on a - 40° F morn ing tums into a comfortable sit, as the Styrofoam reflects your body heat.
