Striking Starlink-ready outhouse reinvents pooping in the woods

• https://newatlas.com, By C.C. Weiss

The classic toilet tiny house of outdoor event and construction site fame has a notorious reputation for claustrophobia, unmentionable floor puddles, thick odors, inexplicable stains and swarms of pests reveling in all of the above. Jupe looks to free the world of that all-too-common set of tribulations with the all-new Portal. In contrast to the living nightmare that lurks within the average porta-potty, the fully off-grid Portal is designed to support an off-grid bathroom break so refreshingly different, it might just prove worthy of an Instagram.

Since introducing its unique off-grid nomadic shelter concept two years ago, Jupe has further capitalized on the glamping trend by installing Jupe sites at natural draws like the California Redwoods and Colorado Rockies. As it turns out, when enjoying a room like the one above, you can't very well be expected to scurry off and drop trou in a filthy, drafty shit shed, or trowel a cat hole behind a bush. The Jupe is basically a high-end one-room hotel and needs a toilet to match.

The Portal is built to the task. It's a portable self-contained toilet room that delivers a glamping-like experience immersed in its greater environment. Three walls wear a semi-reflective wrap, helping the unit blend with its surroundings. The two-way mirrored glass window stands the full height of the front wall to let users take in the scenery while still enjoying privacy. A retractable blind hangs at the ready to further lock that privacy down.

The Portal is designed to offer three times the interior volume of a standard portable toilet structure, so goers need not ever touch an atom of skin or fabric against the bare interior. The combination of front glass and over-toilet skylight further opens things up and brings in natural light to prevent the space from getting too dark.
