What drives the cost up for a porta potty in a remote valley in November?

The higher cost for your remote valley hunting camp comes from three factors: the delivery distance, the winter service, and the remote location itself. Your quote likely breaks down into a delivery fee, a monthly rental rate, and a service fee. The delivery fee covers the truck time and fuel for that 45-minute dirt road trip each way. Winter service costs more because we add a non-toxic antifreeze solution to the holding tank to prevent freezing, and our vacuum truck has to make that long trip in potentially worse weather. Remote sites also get a premium because if the truck gets stuck or delayed, it ties up a rig for hours. You have one standard portable toilet for 10 people over a week, which is fine for hunting without alcohol. Look for line items like 'remote delivery', 'winterization charge', or 'extended service trip' on your quote. That's where the extra cost is.
