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

[displacedtexan]

I'm #teamsitka

So until Stika makes TP I won't be using TP.

I tried an alcohol wipe out of my first aid kit, burned for a day and a half. Alcohol and backcountry roids don't mix. Probably sounded like a sasquatch screaming.

Wait, you guys bring toilet paper? True backpack, ounce counting hunters don’t use toilet paper. We wipe with leaves, rocks or even fingers like the barrel chested badasses god created!

And don't ever use a clorox wipe. You'll only try that once.

The lightest option for a serious backcountry hunter is a 2-ply peeled in half with the corners cut: 2.8 grains per sheet

I don’t carry any TP.

I do an enema before I go hunting.
Then I only eat cheese for a week.

I’m good for at least 6 days.

In all honesty, if you start wiping your ass with your opposite hand, you’ll find out how thin TP really is

Pine cones are the best. Scrapes all the shit out.

when you put it on the stick next to the hole, will the unfurl direction be over the top or under the bottom??

I used to use silnylon but it's just too heavy. Now I'm running cuben fiber squares.

2-ply. You chafe yourself with the 1-ply and your hunt is over as well as your possibility to walk back to the truck. Pretty much got to rollover and die from embarrassment at that point.

Funny story, back when I was playing nurse in the ED had the typical Otis Campbell drunk roll in one night to "sleep it off", get a meal and a bag of fluids. He knew everybody in the ED and we knew him. Harmless nice guy.
I had him one night and was going in to discharge him. Hes got his shirt off pants down and the container of hospital grade clorox wipes and giving himself a bath.
"Hey Tony, these things smell great!"
"They sure do "Otis", they sure do."

Paper towels and wet wipes for the win. Far less blow through potential, clean as a baby bottom, literally.

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.

Oh dude 2 ply all the way it's not even a question.

I’ve always said if I find a genie my 3 wishes are wealth, health and clean pinches for life.

 

[sickles107]

I use paper towels...

I sent this question to Luke from Eastman’s but I never heard back for some reason.
