+1, got some adult flushable wet wipes for free, now I couldn't be without them. Very good for those of us with sensitive stomachs, that turns into sensitive buttholes after something goes wrong. :(

Home Depots usually have restrooms too ("Hoderes" for short), tho I can't speak to the quality of their toilet paper.

BTW, this is why some cultures never eat food with their left hand. In their eyes, doing something like picking up a burger with both hands is kind of gross....

Been there, done that in Latin America. Couldn't imagine me using fingers, so I'd ALWAYS carry a small roll of TP in my daypack when traveling around. Also done some multiweek backcountry travel. I'd start with a roll of TP and a paperback book. I'd mke sure to read a few pages each day, because if you run out of TP, you start using the book.

It's easier to just use what's available rather than lug it in. Newspaper is typically available just about everywhere if you pass anywhere near civilization. Due to the lack of plumbing, you don't need to worry about clogging anything. In nature, there are leaves, though you need to know which ones not to use...

If at a gas station or something like that and you realize there is no toilet paper, a serviceable option would be to cut a sock into appropriately sized strips. ;)

You could totally pull the hairs out of your legs and weave them into a reusable wool toilet tissue.

we are on the same wavelength - duly noted right after I posted that

EDIT: perhaps stinkyfaced from riding too closely behind pooing buddy?

I think two socks would have been more thorough. But that's just me. I'm anal.

Bare hand. Wiped onto hair. Put hat back on.

I was up on the roof, a nice vantage point for this story.

The supervisor was very vocal about his need for the facilities. Spotting his opportunity, my co-worker rushed down the scaffolding and got in the port-a-potty first, pissing the supervisor off, but leaving him no choice but to wait.

The co-worker climbed back up the scaffolding with a funny grin on his face. He says, "Just wait".

Shortly after we hear the supervisor bellowing like a wounded water buffalo, screaming the co-worker's name. We look over, laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes...he shows us the huge wad of TP he'd stolen out of the port-a-potty.

No one on the crew stopped laughing for an hour once we heard what the sup had used instead: the linings of his pockets.

I personally like to make sure there is TP in any bathroom i use before i need it.
