Portable Privacy Shelter

From what I’ve read, during this pandemic, the lack of public restrooms has been a problem for many, especially for people who work outside of public buildings.

I took my best friend on a six-mile trail that I love. There are several flush toilets along the way. The one at the halfway point is usually the cleanest, but this time...it was locked. In fact, they were all locked, and we couldn’t find one business that would allow us to use their restroom. We were hours away from home.

We had to climb over fence in a restricted area just to find a private place to pee, and yes, when I have to pee, I do have penis envy. As a backpacker, I’ve often thought of making a device almost exactly like this one. I don’t need the toilet part but I definitely need the privacy screen. I ordered it this morning. Yay!

The sad thing is though, that beautiful trail is now littered with human feces. Not mine, of course, I could never do that outside. Yuck!

Reminded me of the Cone of Silence. People under the cone couldn’t hear each other but everyone outside of it could. One of the great running gags in TV history.

So I guess one can crap in private but everyone else knows what you’re doing and can see/smell the result. There was a kid I used to play out in the woods with when I was young. When he had to #2 he would climb a tree and let his business end hang over a branch. Look out below! Instead of a privacy poop tent just bring a portable ladder or climbing rope with you. Maybe a few small boards, nails and a hammer to help one get up the tree would be less cumbersome or obvious. Tree branch is completely private, hidden by leaves....couldn’t get any better could it? Leaves also serve a dual purpose.

I once knew a girl who had spent some time in India. Mostly good apart from the way the way the village children liked to follow her out into the field to watch the white lady have a pee/crap.
