I guess you weren't the camping type. We did summer camp every year growing up, and girl scout camp didn't have indoor toilets, we had outhouses and slept in enormous tents (there were 15 bunks in the tent). A few years later we did Jewish camp, and while we did have showers, they were long buildings with a dozen shower heads lined up and no hot water in them, and we shared the bathrooms with daddy long-legs spiders and mosquitoes as big as your thumb. When I was 18 I went on a thing called American Teen Tours/American Trails West, before they did the glamping/hotel setup. We hiked and bicycled and camped our way across the country and back. Most of the campsites had plumbing, a couple did not, and a few times we washed off in streams or soaped up during downpours and let the rain wash us off.
Living in nature gives you a different perspective of things. I can still squat, so I don't need any toilet at all if push came to shove and there were some non-poisonous leaves nearby.
