Some people like to do bondage inside, other people like to do it outdoors. Outdoors bondage allows the Master to involve various natural effects such as the shape of a tree, the feel of grass, different weather or the greater spaciousness.

Like other outdoor activities, this can be done either in private or in public. Outdoor bondage while on a farm can still be completely private, as compared to tying up the slave in clear view on a city street.

Outdoor bondage can also be subtle and concealed, such as using a rope harness under ordinary clothes when going shopping with the slave. This sort of bondage is still private, but the slave feels the humiliation of doing such activities while in a public place.
