How many…

What say you backcountry bad asses?

1 pack of flushable baby wipes.

A handful of snow works best. Better than leaves or bark I've found.

Pun intended?

A handful of snow works best. Better than leaves or bark I've found.

Especially after really bad Mexican food and too much beer.

1 pack of flushable baby wipes.

With aloe?

 

[Art Vandeley]

I go full roll. I do extra squats in the off season to prepare for such a luxury

Seems like a trick question. It really depends on the previous meal line-up. I mean the answer is different if for dinner the night before you had a fresh grouse than if you had, let's say, Mountain House chili.

Pack of baby wipes here. Since I started using them my arse is much happier in the backcountry.

I edited the poll for Schaaf

Plus a few trips to town...

Don't need TP, our woods have plenty of natural wipes like poison oak or blackberries

In Praise of the Backcountry Bidet

Skip the toilet paper and clean with water on your next camping trip.

A half a roll of two-ply tp is 250 squares.

I would feel like I was tempting fate with 11-20 squares, but would be drastically overcompensating with half a roll. Give me 50 squares per day. Though Greenhorn is spot on about snow.

As a child, I must have had a bad TP experience that I repressed because running out of TP is higher on my backcountry fears list than grizzly bears, rockslides, meth heads, or getting lost.

A few years ago, my brother picked me up at the airport for a trip to the Frank Church Wilderness. I had left my pack with him, partially loaded, after a trip into the same spot a month earlier. We overnighted at his cabin, but before going to bed, I threw some things in my pack. When I got up the next morning, I threw a few more things in my pack. At the trailhead, I topped it off for a five day trip. I ended up getting my sheep the next morning. As I was rearranging my pack for the trip back to the truck, I found that I had four full rolls of toilet paper in it. Apparently, there had been a roll in it when my brother picked me up, and I had added a new roll each time I touched the pack. Luckily, TP doesn’t weigh too much.

I am still a fan of blue towels and wet wipes in a gallon zip lock.

One square; wipe, fold, wipe, fold, wipe. Finish up with wet wipe.

I prefer to just do the butt scoot across the ground just like when your dog gets worms and drags it’s ass across the carpet.

 

[Scott85]

Dude wipes.

Also, well done @JLS for the hard hitting question.

Truly remarkable discussions here at Hunt Talk.
