1-Ply or 2-Ply Toilet Paper for First Backpack Trip

[OregonSteeler]

Ok guys, I've hit a major crossroads here and hoping you could shed some light. Do I bring 1-ply TP, which is lighter and breaks down faster, or do I go with the extra weight, go 2-ply knowing it will also take up more space in the backpack?


In case it's not obvious (and if not, that's scary), this post is written tongue in cheek. Some of the questions posted on this forum have me shaking my head! Either it's not that freaking important or go figure something out on your own! I was a greenhorn once and when I didn't have the answer to something, I either took a risk or did a trial run before a big hunt/fish trip.

2 Ply. Gotta respect yourself more than 1 ply.

The best option is to bring 2-ply and separate it once you’re in the field.

I like 2-ply. That way I can use both sides.

Thank you! My goodness

2 Ply - somethings are just not worth cutting corners!

I trap small animals and use their fur before I let them go. Saves on weight and it helps to establish dominance.

If you ever see a mysterious brown color phase pine marten, I'm probably around.

Blue shop towels...almost no risk of a finger poking through.

Edit to add: this seems like a perfectly reasonable thread for offseason Rokslide. I can't wait to see the memes.

If you all ask nicely, maybe @Ryan Avery and @robby denning will make @fngTony do a review on which TP is best!

That's a good idea - let your voices be heard, via PM!

I prefer to bring a thin rag, then I can just rinse it off in the next stream I come across and reuse. Of course I do that after I've filled my water bottle.

I run a charmin. But I’m keeping an eye on their podcast, and waiting for the new Scott’s to drop.

Lol, why me?

Are you even a real hardcore otc hunter if you use toilet paper? I have my guide carry 2 ply

Dude wipes, cause it’s rough and crusty on the trail.

Elk weed. No weight penalty and covers your scent.
