I can't imagine what it feels like to bare your butt in those frigid temperatures. Give me a heated Toto toilet seat.

Good idea.

Would guess those are chemical toilets, so they will maintenance(emptying, restocking of supplies, etc). Wonder who will do that and pay for that upkeep.

How do they propose to get the yeti to use them?

I would suppose No.1s are no real problem (don't eat the yellow snow) but No.2s can be a bit if a stinker.
