    They then can go in a ziploc bag and you pull the paper out from the inside of the roll and you have your waterproof TP holder and dispenser...
    True but I may take a dump every 3rd or 4th day on the trail so I don't need that much.
    Pain is a by-product of a good time.

    Nothing worse than dropping your last roll of tp in water.
    When you poop in the water do you watch it float away like a little sailboat?

    Just did a Thanksgiving holiday extended ten day bike, hike and camping (yeah I said the word camping) trip.

    One of the trailheads I biked to for hiking has fancy solar powered Clivus Multrum composting toilets. Apparently the weekenders had used up all the supplied paper and someone left a roll of this.

    I took a few feet of it. It is almost useless. One ply, rough, the ink is thicker than the paper. But it was good for a laugh. and as a backup in my handlebar bag.

    It was taken and replaced with the good stuff by maintenance the next day.

    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.
    You never know which one is talking.

    When you finish a thru there's a certain amount of adjustment you go through to get back into "normal" life. One of the things I noticed was that every time I went into a public restroom I felt the urge to pull off a little extra TP, roll it up and put it in my pocket.

    I found that I was always looking for a tree, despite the fact that I was in the middle of town and there was a public restroom right there. Yes, I did use a tree a few times right off a conv. store parking lot.

    Hmmm, rice paper, follows with the UL mantra of duel use. Eat and wipe from the same roll!
