I would make fun of this, but I've seen them too often to think they aren't a regular thing people "make".

The only truly insane part is trying to sell a used toilet seat.

But, legit, this is a quick and relatively cheap way to poop comfortably when camping. You don't have to go hunting for a place to squat, or a fallen tree to use as a brace. You just find a flat spot, dig a hole, and you've got a nice poo spot.

It even makes it easier to port out waste because you can just pop a baggie in place and you're good to go.

It ain't exactly ideal, but it's way cheaper than a chemical toilet or those toilet seat portables. It's less of a hassle than scooping your poop if you can't just bury it. And, you can keep your head on swivel better, which is not as easy when you're hunkered down squatting. You can keep your bear spray/firearm ready.

Seriously, these are a thing that people use fairly often. I didn't, because I would hike in to places where I'd camp. No way am I toting a chair through miles of mountains. But I've been out with people that did this.
