Now if you want the true outdoor experience, try a chum box (box with hole, no walls). I know the locations of a few in CT and VT. Still more luxurious than the dig-your-own-hole option.
lol, well, there's a big difference between an outhouse in the woods and
a public toilet without doors in a busy urban park!
