My greatest fear of the collapse of western civilization is the necessity to crap outdoors. The science is the art - you prop yourself against a tree and let fly, then you use the tee shirt of the last hapless fuck you killed to wipe up, and you throw a few desultory shovels on the steaming pile with your entrenching tool. But as we get older, its harder to get down and back up without ending up with shit on your gear, and lets face it, people still don't want your stinky ass in their kitchen.
Poopy Editor: Saw quite a few squats in France 40 yrs. ago. Even better were the squares of newspaper stuck on a nail in the wall. Yes, for toilet paper.
We were given the keys to an unoccupied ap't. down the hall while the maintenance guy was out getting new tiles & while the grout was drying.
That flange needs to be extended up a bit if the wax ring is going to create an adequate seal. Otherwise, you need to use two wax rings, and hope they squish down enough to make the seal.
Also, BOLT THAT FUCKING TOILET DOWN, so you can grunt and squirm with abandon, making little Bouffants to post on somebody's blog.

Dammit...
I've seen some "squatters" in Japan and in, of all places, Venice. Thank goodness for American plumbing!

A plastic grocery bag is good in the woods.

Also, since the vapor trap is in the toilet, I am sure that you enjoyed some lovely aromas wafting up from your neighbor's effluence.
What the Zombie said.
That is altogether too much detailed toilet knowledge?
Vapor trap?
You're soaking in it!
Zombie, Please! Editor:
You think this reporter is doing any of the work?
No stench, possibly because the stuff used to resurface the tub was pretty potent. And yes, it's bolted.
No, I knew you weren't doing the work. Apartment buildings have to have licensed plumbers; installing shitholes improperly can have health concerns.
I was just giving you enough jargon to kibbitz the poor schmoe working on it.
River of Shit Editor:
Thanks, but no habla. Well, not much. Doubt if he's licensed, either, but he's pretty competent.
How does one say 'Kibbitz' in Spanish?
