Re: [at-l] Shelter conveniences

"E",,,

   You've obviously never been to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
in northern Minnesota (presently iced over).

   Any/all the privies are "thrones",,, just a fiberglass G.I. toilet set
back from the nearest campsite,,, views are mostly not that good (too much
brush and trees),,, however, beats digging a hole or putting up with the
"aroma" typical of most privies/outhouses/latrines/etc....
