@@rogervancouwenberghe6685 No need to be upset. It's good to know that Amish men don't sit down to pee like liberal... males. Oh and while it wasn't specifically stated, Amish men don't require help to urinate. They "hold their own." Pun intended.

That's why their relationships last longer 😆 no arguing over the toilet seat being up.

What a polite community. I grew up in the country in Oregon and we all just walk a little ways away from the crowd sometimes still in the conversation and let it go. Unless of course it's a fairly formal gathering where we walk as much out of sight as possible.

my daughter lives in an area of Illinois with a large Amish community. in recent years Illinois law have been passed requiring gender neutral bathrooms in all businesses. for a long time I noticed Amish businesses were simply ignoring the new laws, which is perfectly fine by me. I assume there must've been some complaint, so I started noticing they simply took the male signs off the men's rooms while leaving the female signs on the ladies rooms! I personally found this to be absolutely genius! and I think you've just clarified why it was such an easy solution! I'm a devout Catholic, but the Amish I've met personally definitely do have a lot of wisdom to share and remind us of some aspects that we overlook. this is utterly brilliant!

@@abutts02 it is single toilet, but the point is that the women still have a women's restroom and the men hardly use the other one anyway. So they've still got a safe spot for women, and they've appeased the Illinois Gestapo. It's not perfect, but it's the smartest solution I've ever seen when you're under the gun. My guess from the time I've spent in the area is that if a safety issue came up due to the bathrooms at their cafes, we may discover the limits on Amish pacifism. Just my perception.

I live in New York City now, but I grew up in East Texas. My heart jumped a little when you mentioned making hay-bale tunnels in the barn. I'd utterly forgotten about that childhood thrill.

After dinner the men did a "Barn Inspection".

I must be Amish. My barn has a concrete floor but outside, to one side, the brush provides privacy that saves time and eliminates trips to the house. Thanks for great video content.

Good to see a video from you again,C.J.. always interesting

Fascinating! I found you through Tawra & your live chat with her! 🥰 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

In rural NH, men often pee outdoors out of public view but not commonly in a corner of a barn, and when it's raining we sometimes pee off a porch. Our water supply is from wells, and we don't want to waste it by flushing. Not so much in winter, however, to avoid the sight of yellow snow.

Your puppy is absolutely adorable! I hope her wounds heal soon

This is more of a quirk than something to be ashamed or embarrassed of. I would rather go under a tree or behind a bush than use a public toilet facility (which are usually filthy)and using an indoor toilet is more about conditioning than practicality. Thank you for sharing these insights into Amish life. I look forward to seeing more of these memes.

Farmers/ranchers don't have time to find a toilet! Nice to see Miranda in the back there. Hope she is adjusting okay, from the move. Blessing to your family.

Nice barn. I love old barns. I grew up on a small dairy farm in the central valley of California. I always peed outside, still do. There was always a peeing spot next to the barn, shop, tractors or whatever. Just don't pee on the hay, wheels, equipment or the electric fence.

I'm not Amish but one of my earlier memories was going out to our barn and seeing a man facing the horse corral. He was there for an equipment sale and my Dad had warned me that I might see this. Also to ignore it. He didn't tell me why though. My Mom used to ask me if I needed a picture drawn for me in some of my more dense moments. This was one of those days. I saw said man on the side of the barn perusing our corral and I very helpfully asked "can I help you"? On reflection I realized the very startled man was doing quite well on his own!

My father would have never “gone” in our barn, nor would he have ever permitted anyone else to do that! When outside, there was an “outhouse” where the men went while outside working during the day. Inside our barn was the sweet smell of hay which was located on the second level. Our barn was a pleasant place to be because of its wonderful smell!

I grew up in Kansas. I remember the boys and dad aiming at dad's peach tree that was behind the outhouse.

Thanks CJ , I have experienced different bathroom customs around the world, a great thing to learn before you visit any thing besides plenty of fluffy white t paper. 😮 Some areas you must carry your own because you buy sheets on they way in of very rough thin paper.

I'm not sure exactly why, but I've ALWAYS LOVED barns and garages, and the like.

Wow, thank you for sharing a sneak peek of the home you grew up in. I can sure appreciate the time, hard work & craftsmanship your folks put in to their property. 👍 Nice. I agree, your family does have pretty horses. Fun fact to share with you. I paid to Rescue a true Dwarf horse(not a pony or a mini) that was owned by an Amish man near shipshewana. I'd like to share that story with you🙄. Interesting that you feel awkward going outside to take care of business. It is common for men to tinkle outside.

that is so true!! I went to a Switzer Amish church service one time and the men told me to find a corner in the barn if I needed to urinate

My maternal grandmother (Pennsylvania "Fancy" Deutsche - German Lutheran) grew up on a farm in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania (the farm is pretty much now I-80) and what you have described is pretty much how they did things back in the 1910s, 1920s, and even up until the 1960s when municipal (city, borough/town, and township) building codes mandated (with exceptions, mainly for Amish and Old Order Mennonite communities) indoor plumbing and either septic tank or municipal sewer hookups.

That was fascinating as hell my phone let me subscribe for some reason to go get that checked out

I don't know how far away from Berne, IN that is, but my former best friend lived in Berne when we met. (I live in East TN) So the first time I visited there I was AMAZED and excited to see Amish! He was like "Meh" lol No big deal to him. I really loved visiting that area for almost 15 years.

It's nice to see someone point out that this may only be in their community. One thing I have learned working very closely with a Mennonite community is that the "ruels" and way of life may and usually does vary between communities. For example the Mennonites I work with are aloud to have diesel engine to run their shop equipment, a community 8-9 hours away has to use literal horse power like old black smithing shows.

Thanks for the insight. ❤

Thanks for this video from Italy

OMG...you reminded me of building hay bale tunnels in the loft. Oh...another thing, one of my uncles was a little slow from Scarlet Fever as an infant and couldn't stand the smell of the outhouse or the confined space of the indoor bathroom, so he'd poop on the pig pen. Consequently on the way to church grandma would just be on fire with toilet paper showing in the field.

We used to make hay bale forts, but we weren't supposed to because it made the knots in the twine they were tied with super tight and it had to be cut off. My grandpa and uncles always saved and reused their twine. My (boy) cousins talked about "taking a whizz" through the cracks at the back of the barn - forgetting there was an electric fence strung behind there. The experience was rather shocking! LOL

That's one way to keep a tradition of keeping an eye on the barn

Thanks CJ for the history of that in your community. Living near Lancaster PA would it not be frowned upon to do that in the church barn?

EVERYONE has peed outside at some point. We've all been in a situation where we gotta go and there is no convenient indoor facility. But, going outside to the barn when you're inside and facilities are convenient is a whole different level.

I think McGee on "NCIS" had to do something on a job site and ended up either poison ivy on his rear end! My family headed to Savannah for vacation and someone would invariably have to stop to go pee (or whatever) and my dad would stop and let them outside the car to go in the shrubbery nearby. I had to go too. Got no poison ivy, but when I looked up there was an old farmer and his cow looking down at me. The farmer was laughing. The cow just mooed.

All my kinfolk up in Tennessee Appalachia all had barns & outhouses even in the mid 1960's. A city boy ain't never had such a thrill as doing #2 in an outhouse with 6 inches of snow on the ground. Takes an hour before you 'hang loose' again.
