If you use TP, make sure to put it in a ziploc bag.

Mine got wet once, it sucked.

We have a tradition grabbing the fresh Sub sandwich when going hunting, so we also ask for a few extra napkins- for just “in case”…. They did come handy more than a few times!

There is always another option- an adult diaper/pull up especially when it’s cold outside- you will get all nice and warm…

Nowadays I seem to wear a lot of money in clothing around so cutting pieces off of them is kinda outta the question. Extra careful nowadays about carrying a part roll of bowel towel around with me

Don’t tell me it’s unsightly cause I have seen all the Tim cups, nitrile gloves and tin cans littering the cut lines and lease roads and kill sites . And besides, if I see a wad of TP on the ground I know to steer clear of that real estate.
I use the moss and leaves that you fellas seem fond of to cover the TP I leave behind
Agree, there is always room for a roll in your pack. I take a larger freezer zip lock bag for the TP and a sandwich zip lock filled with wet wipes for any needed clean job. Put the wet wipe bag with the tp, squeeze the air out and flatten. Takes up so little room, adds no weight and your never reaching for an alternative.

Find a nice fallen poplar and no squatting too.

TP is also a great biodegradable option for marking blood trails. I don't leave home without it.

I've heard of little old ladies wearing Depends in Vegas casinos, this beats that.

Agreed! Always have TP no matter if it’s on a river trip in the canoe, my hunting pack or truck! I never count on an outhouse having any so always bring my own! Also have a small bottle of hand sanitizer that doubles if I need to start a fire.

My hunting bags all have TP and wet ones in them, same goes with both vehicles, my leukemia meds play tricks on me and sometimes I have 2 minutes to hit the ditch or find an approach, every pair of pants I own has TP in the back pocket when I put them on, it's kind of like putting your socks on in the morning, you just do it.

Post edited as my Depends idea was already mentioned...hehe.

I simply carry a small pack of kleenex. Fits well in pockets.

And no, it does not have to be complicated...

I don't think they ever explained how they work. I hope I have some tp in my pocket if I ever wake up in the future.

Had a buddy who wore coveralls to hunt, one frosty morning after breakfast at the Cow Lake store he got a cramp. Jumped out behind the truck to take care of it and crapped in his coveralls. Jumped back in and I said are you sure you left it outside. Rolled down the windows until we got to our parking spot. He got out and this big wet stain on the back of his coveralls. Luckily he brought a change of clothes. If he hadn't he would have had to ride in the back of the truck.

The main difference is that the Dude Wipes are individually wrapped.

I think the Cottonelle wipes (https://www.costco.ca/cottonelle-flu...100425361.html) would be more economical, but recent reviews indicate that the quality has declined (they are thinner now).

This summer I was caught short about 100 yards from the truck. You know those events, no matter what contortions or clenching I tried I wasn’t gonna make it.
I figured to use my underwear but luckily there was spagnum moss there. I’ll tell ya’ that stuff works!
