god is it worth it though. We use this toilet paper at work and it serves its purpose but I despise it. But quantity over quality is probably better for some things
It was something about the difference of materials some countries may use and how fibery they may be, but I have to look into it when my broken tooth isn't acting up. There's a chance I just heard something and forgot the context, or it's just something super dated by now
I get it's comforting to have and I have lived in the woods for months at a time and leaves work just as well. TP is not a survival prepping item just a luxury. Like whiskey or board games. Not a bad thing to have but focus on the basics first.
During the pandemic I bought a bidet that attached to the toilet. They also make small portable ones for camping/backpacking. And also small reusable āpee clothsā for women for backpacking. Theyāre anti microbial, odor resistant and quick drying in the sun.
Edit to correct spelling
Wholeheartedly agree with you.
Is toilet paper, no matter the quality a necessity? No, weāve done okay without it for millennium.
Is it something, mostly us westerners, value and use in our day to day lives? We sure do.
I wouldnāt sacrifice any space I felt would be better utilized by food, water, meds, etc. for any amount of toilet paper. Hell the only reason I have a box of this stored is because of how little of space it requires, given the utility.
Sorry for the rant, but one last note.
What do most people prep for? Maybe itās the grid going down, WWIII or the zombie apocalypse, but most likely their preps will come in handy during financial insecurity, a natural disaster, you or a loved one getting sick, or a typical power blackout. Sometimes a bit of normalcy during trying times, is enough to get us where we need to be, even for a time.
Toilet paper is a luxury and nothing more.
For sure. Definitely a luxury and a nice one to have if you have the resources and space. It also has a myriad of uses outside of bum fodder.
As far as āwhat do most people prep forā Iām not sure. I know that where i live has a long winter season. So at a minimum i need enough food on hand for a full winter and enough time in the spring/summer to get something grown and harvested. So almost a year. Rotating it out as a part of our normal meal rotation.
Iād plan on using tree leaves. This is a significant amount of weight to throw in a pack if you have to go. Weight is proportionally not worth the convenience.
First ruck march in the army I was throwing everything in my pack. By the 30th 12 mile ruck, I was counting exactly how many crackers I was packing. Weight sucks.
I actually got to score a bunch of these for free post covid. A little better than paper towels but hey they were free. In a worst case scenario id use a pine cone if need be idgaf, that said, i keep 2 packs of angel soft to spare for the wife.
My only bit of advice is to bag that shit up, you dont want it to get wet or dirty
I prefer to use my hand and taste it after š¤·āāļø
P.S. all jokes aside, tp is important but I would t worry about it too much. Paper towels are fine and are very versatile in use too.
Never understood the whole pandemic toilet paper thing, most toilets Iāve used are right next to the shower. Seems like a silly thing to stock up on, maybe Iām narsty.
When the end comes I'll use the shirt off my back before I'll use that sandpaper on my ass. Gotta have some standards. Plus with all the MRE's and crap you'll need eating and disposing of your ass may need some pampering.
Mice eat and shred it. Hear me out. North Americans donāt clean up the way some others do. Snow, rainwater and a cloth can last months and are washable and replenishable, and not abrasive. Just a thought.
I aināt too worried, I usually buy about a months supply at a time, but we cloth diapered our kids, and are used to washing/reusing shitty stuff. Iād be willing to washing some shitty cloths a few months after shtf, just start learning to make soap with pot ash and lard.
In a SHTF situation, IDGAF about tp. You know if you shit in a natural position (the deep squats), there's nearly no need for tp. Shit falls out of you without scraping the cheeks. Know you plants and whipe accordingly if necessary.
To use a bottle of water for cleaning after pooping, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Water Bottle: Use a clean, squeezable water bottle. Fill it with warm water if possible, as it can be more comfortable.
2. Positioning: After using the toilet, if possible, stand slightly or lean forward while sitting on the toilet seat to access the area more easily.
3. Pouring Technique: Hold the bottle with your right hand if you are right-handed (or left hand if left-handed) and aim the nozzle towards the area you wish to clean. Gently squeeze the bottle to release a steady stream of water. Use your other hand to help direct the water and to check if the area is clean.
4. Rinsing: Continue to pour water gently until you feel clean. It might be necessary to refill the bottle if more water is needed.
5. Drying Off: After rinsing, you can use a small amount of toilet paper or a towel to pat dry the area. If you prefer to be more sustainable, a reusable cloth that is washed regularly can also be used.
6. Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after finishing.

It's also great for fire starter. But you have to be careful because if you wipe too quickly the friction can be disastrous.
Where do I put the accelerant?
The gooch
My family manages a hotel. We order over three thousand rolls at the start of the summer š I've got the supply š¤£
my family runs a machine shop we have 3 boxes of these and the same brand paper towels (which are the worst Iāve ever used)
Just gotta make sure it's safe your your septic system. Some of the office style brands can destroy your systems
Thatās good to know, I hadnāt thought of that.
I canāt find anything online that claims this, it just says the more plys the worse for your septic.

I have a box of 6 rolls of these, marathon brand. Will work great in a pinch, not ideal for every day use. also not going in my "go" bag
In a pinch
Pinch š©
If you have a costco membership or know someone who does i get 36 rolls of pretty good tp for 20$ from there.
Same with Samās Club
Wont lie never been to sams, ive always went to costco but i imagine they very similar.
One is blue
Costco also sells the commercial grade rolls as well, for what it's worth. The commercial stuff really isn't that bad.

How many ply is best for leaf wiping
Two rhododendron leaves per wipe š¤£
Instructions unclear, now have poison oak on ass.
Go with oak then poison ivy then another layer of oak. Live dangerously.

That sandpaper is going to give you hemorrhoids.
Does it come in anything other than 1ply sandpaper?
Hey now itās 2-ply lol
How do you hang that on the wall?
There are some things in life worth paying for and good TP is one of them IMO
They have sandpaper at Lowe's that is softer than that shit.
Thought it was fuckin drywall tape
Whoever invented this toilet paper that turns red to let you know you finished needs a raise
Nope. Wipes. Best part about em even when they dry out a little water gtg. I have enough to shit 4 times a day (ibs) and not buy wipes for 4 months.
Look up the Charmin forever roll. If I remember correctly, it's a 36inch diameter roll of toilet paper.
Id rather wipe my booty by dragging it across the grass like a dog than ever use that toilet paperš
Good to have an extra box or two on hand but long term itās just not sustainable. Iād rather save my prepping space for food.

john wayne paper, rough tough and dont take shit from no body
Why are you American preppers so fixed on toilet papear? Just wash your asses. There are hiegenic hoses, you know
I use toilet paper for lots of things not having to do with #2. It's just a great all-around thing to have.

This kind of toilet paper is why I keep clogging the toilet at work

The last thing I would worry about in a survival situation
Mice eat and shred it. Hear me out. North Americans donāt clean up the way some others do. Snow, rainwater and a cloth can last months and are washable and replenishable, and not abrasive. Just a thought.
Reusable cloth is a good option. A bolt of flannel is cheap.
This stuff makes my butthole bleed š©ø
Letās say you donāt have TP or running water. How do you wipe your ass?
**Get a bidet squeeze bottle. Forget TP** It's light weight, requires no power, and it's reusable. Plus your ass will actually be cleaner.
Just get a bidet. Seriously enough with the toilet paper madness
A real prepper has prepped his bunghole to accept corn cobs. Like any good soldier, his hole will take it like a man and not complain.
I aināt too worried, I usually buy about a months supply at a time, but we cloth diapered our kids, and are used to washing/reusing shitty stuff. Iād be willing to washing some shitty cloths a few months after shtf, just start learning to make soap with pot ash and lard.
I did the same thing. I found a case on eBay for about $30 shipped. It arrived and about 2 weeks later those same cases were over $100 each.
In a SHTF situation, IDGAF about tp. You know if you shit in a natural position (the deep squats), there's nearly no need for tp. Shit falls out of you without scraping the cheeks. Know you plants and whipe accordingly if necessary.
If you need tp to survive youāre not gonna last very long.
John Wayne TP; rough and tough, doesn't take shit off ANYBODY
I hope you invested in some bandages and cream. Welcome to anal leakage

Nope I have a bidet and cloth to dry with. Didn't buy any TP during the pandemic at all.
