Mouldering Privies

To date each of the shelters has a mouldering privy. This type of privy is part of an on going experiment. It order to insure scientific protocol there are directions on how to use the privy. Some are even personalized welcoming you to the Standing Indian Shelter Moldering Privy for example. They all explain the protocol. Basically, you poop and then throw a handful of leaves into the chamber. Not really sure who monitors the mouldering but it is probably some lowly graduate student. I am honored to participate. The privies are all similarly constructed of several sheets of plywood with a plastic seat. Boy, is that seat cold in the morning and no one leaves a crossword puzzle to work on.
