We have had them for ages and as I started living in the house I live in now I broke it down. The wooden toilet outside. Strangers who passed by used it too and it isn't very hygienic.
What I have now is an ordinary toilet pot inside (better during cold winters and at night). Underneath is my own hole. I flushed with buckets of water and since Sunday we have a water closet. At least as long as it isn't winter and the pipes aren't frozen.
Btw I saw toilet seats on the beach, above a hole all very clean.

Your toilet seems like a better long term solution. Someday when we have more people living here we might have to look into having a large hole underneath our toilets. It's nice you could repurpose an existing seat into one that works for you. Luckily we don't have to deal with sub zero temperatures and frozen pipes, can imagine that's hard!
It's better not to dig the hole underneath your toilet. Mine is about 3-4 metres away from the toilet. A stone wall around it and a lid on it (beton first wood with a hole in it). From the toilet a pipe is going to it. Try to avoid adding too much toilet paper in it. Lucky you you don't have to deal with winter.
