Pretty ingenious. Many years ago on a hunting trip in northern Michigan, we camped by a burned out cabin. In the debris was an old cane-bottom chair. Dig a hole, cut the remainder of the cane out, set the chair over the hole, hang the T.P. roll on a handy branch covered with a plastic bag and we had all the comforts of home...sort of.

One time around 2006/7 we took a surplus porta potty up into the woods at 9,000' in the San Juan mountains.
Cut the base out the tank & set it over a hole dug in the ground & moved when needed. Used it over four seasons' hunting & sure beat sitting out in the biting wind.
I guess it's still up there.

What ever happened to REAL men? Nothing like hanging it out in the cold air and wiping yer butt with maple leaves. Ya better hope they ARE maple leaves.

Yup...when in the Army I would dig a sh1tpit and would site it carefully so that, where possible, have a "straining pole" at the end and put a log across it to take the weight off your legs a little whilst "doing the job". The worst part was during winter because a bloke's dangly bits would be swinging in the breeze and, in some of the places we exercised in down south it was not uncommon for it to snow...or at the very least get real nasty frosts.
