      Also in Northern California, not nearly as gorgeous of a view, but I was helping a friend and her husband pull honey because they had just started beekeeping, and started with a lot of hives (due to someone retiring).

      Anyway, I was there for hours with them in a large garage in the foothills in the middle of the woods, and I really needed to go to the bathroom. It was a similar setup to OP’s picture, except 3 of the sides were up. No roof, no door at all, and it was like 105 degrees out.

      At first I was nervous, but no one was going to look and I was facing the woods, so… weird experience, but it was actually kinda pleasant? It was just me, the trees, some birds, and the bugs! I’ve gone on week-long canoe trips where we had to dig a poop hole with our own trowel, but the mix of civilized (kindof an outhouse??) and not civilized at all was MUCH weirder.

    This picture makes me really uncomfortable. Getting The Hills Have Eyes vibes. I’d also be afraid of a mountain lion, or something taking me out from behind. Very nerve-racking place to poop.

    Be sure to check what’s lurking in that thing before you drop close to it, naked at the pretty parts…

    I used a similar setup once in the Appalachians. The back wall was fortunately still standing. I had been backpacking for 3 days and hadn’t gone once, so I was backed up, but all that activity kept it loose. The view was absolutely beautiful. The open walls let in a fresh breeze, so no outhouse smell at all. Once I forced myself to get over the awkwardness of the exposure and just go, it all came together. Best Shit Of My Life. 20 odd years later that dump still ranks among the most sublime moments I have ever experienced.
