My Search for the Best Backcountry Toilet Continues!

Part 2 in my search for the best backcountry toilets took me deep into the North Cascades! Washington's backcountry privies are regarded by many as the best in the world, so this epic adventure was too big for just a single video. Welcome to part two in a three part series where I take you on three of Washington's greatest hikes in a single week to find and rate their legendary backcountry toilet. This installment in the adventure is considerably more epic than the last, and this time the toilet is actually intact - but is the view from this famous backcountry toilet worth the effort it takes to get there?
