My family lives in a ‘damp cabin’ in Alaska – there’s running water but we use an outhouse, I get wet during storms
A HOMEOWNER has revealed what it’s like to live in a cabin in Alaska, surrounded by nature.
She shared that there was no running water in their home but they make do.
Sydney (@bluejuglife) shared the video with over 600,000 TikTok followers.
She took shelter in the middle of a thunderstorm in the outhouse and used the opportunity to explain how it functioned.
As she used the bathroom, she showed off her surroundings as the outhouse had no door, with only trees and open nature to hide her.
“This is what it’s like using an outhouse without a door during a thunderstorm,” she said.
“I live full-time in a damp, damp cabin in Alaska in Fairbanks with my husband, two kids, and a dog and a damp cabin basically means we do have running water,” she explained.
The mom used to live with her family in a dry cabin that had zero running water, but has since upgraded to a home with a holding tank that had a 1,000-gallon capacity.
“We don’t have septic so we have an outhouse and I’m currently using the facilities, taking a pee,” she said.
“It’s a thunderstorm and it just rained in here a little bit, I got a little bit wet.”
However, the content creator enjoyed the ambiance the rain and trees provided during her time of need: “It’s absolutely lovely and kind of nice to have a view while relieving oneself.”
People agreed for the most part the scenery was a bonus: “Okay but this is a vibe,” said one commenter.
“Kind of nice that it doesn’t get as stinky as a regular outhouse,” added another.
Others thought the outhouse was fine but was missing one thing: “I’d def add a door,” suggested one viewer.
