I am very germaphobic so I dont like to touch rolls of paper that a number of people have handled. So yes I bring my own paper, plus on long camping trips I mostly use wet wipes it makes me feel cleaner.


Alice came to a fork in the road," Which road do I take"? she asked.
"Where do you want to go"? responded the cheshire cat.
"I don't know," Alice answered.
"Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter".

Yank out the cardboard tube from the center and flatten the TP then shove it in a Ziploc bag to keep it dry. Takes up the same space as a pair of long socks.

I keep a roll in the pack and another in the truck. If you get in a bind, the alternative is ripping apart your underwear and wiping with that.

Yup, I do. You never know when you need one. That's, of course, when I'm on my own or with my friends. But when I'm with my girlfriend, it's that plus baby wipes, plus facial tissue. Hopefully, she doesn't get to read this post.

This is exactly what I do.

I usually keep one roll of toilet paper, in my car, just in case. So, when I go camping, I have that roll ready to be used.

I always take baby wipes, I normally car camp, but alot of the places I go don't even have bathrooms. So needless to say no provided bathroom, no provided tp. The baby wipes are also good in case there is a bathroom with no soap or even running water.

We take toilet paper with us everywhere so I definitely have some when we go camping. There is a roll in each glove compartment, the BOB's and backpacks, and the diaper bags. Better to have and not need than to need and not have!

"Butt" the real question is....is it single or two ply? Name brand or generic? After 11 years in the infantry using MRE toilet paper, which is barely enough to wipe the ass on a Keebler elf. I go with the good stuff...good old emery cloth...what else would an infantry NCO use? Whoooa!
