Pooping during shtf... haha

[shibumiseeker]

QFT. After the leavings of a meth lab, walking up on a big wad of crappy TP is the second worst thing to find in the woods.

I have one of very few areas a person can pull off on a long deserted stretch of road, at least 15-20 minutes from anywhere a person can use a toilet. Every now and then I find a clump of TP along with a massive dump poorly hidden behind the trees on the pull-off, and once at the edge of my driveway by the road I found a strip of t-shirt that someone had used to wipe. I also manage a small nature preserve near Bloomington and every week we find a few new tp flowers have sprouted 20' away from the parking area in the woods. That people can't crap in the woods properly makes me wonder how poorly their other habits in life were taught to them.

Babywipes are great. I also hiked this weekend but nobody had to go number 2 though. TP is in my BOB but all other packs have baby wipes due to them not being as big as my BOB. Seriously it is amazing the number of people who give no thought to this. A luxury like TP is taken for granted just like most everything else in our society.

The Straight Dope: What did people use before toilet paper was invented?

Read about the neck of a goose...

I def make sure I have plenty of TP - also some are included in MRE's.

I've been there before though, hope you didn't wipe with meadow weed, HAHAHA.

I just remembered something that an ex-coworker of mine told me... he claimed he went through sniper school, and if you were a sniper, and you had to drop a load, you did it in your pants for fear of alerting the enemy of your presence. Is there any truth to this?

Only if you're downwind. Otherwise, clench!

Then why the hell do they make MRE's with jalapenos in them?! hahaha

It's a SHTF scenario, there are going to be dead bodies to pick clothing off of, empty homes raided for their food but still have full linen closets. Plus book stores full of Obama's books.

Good thing for you there was a good supply of leaves. You would hate using tree bark.

Baby wipes are good, but what I usually carry with me are the blue shop towels. They are relatively soft, get all the dirty stuff off and thick enough that your hand doesn't rip through. Seriously getting **** on your hand is nasty.

 

[icefox724]

go with the baby wipes.

i always carry TP! Its a highlight of my kit at every level. use it for firestarting too. I also carry baby wipes.

What don't you have in your BOB...lol you always seem to have everything I would like to see the short list of things that are not in your bag if any.
