This device is another one of those, â€I wish I would have thought of [this](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viral-promotion-girl-in-your-shirt-lauches-smashing-idea)â€ gimmick.

When hunters are wandering through the woods in search of Bambi's brethren this fall, the last thing they will want to be doing is crouching on the ground making â€œthose noises.â€

Finally the problem is solved with the Backroad Commode!

**Implications** - An innovation like this is an outdoor traveler's best friend. More people are spending time outdoors and experience what nature has to offer, although resources are limited when you're outside and even a toilet becomes a luxury sometimes. Businesses should start developing more products that can be used outdoors to fill the needs of the outdoor-savvy consumer.
