Unless you're camped downwind of a particularly smelly outhouse. Those
gases are apparently heavier than air and come a-creepin' into the site.
In that case, additional venting could prove deadly to the hapless
camper. I'd seal the privy's windows and doors, and add a reverse fan to
the vent stack, trapping the oder within. Of course, with the buildup of
noxious fumes, there may be a casualty or two in the morning when the
first people who try to use the place open the door and get a whiff.
