Moist wipes, takes care of the TP issue plus many others and it's already flat for easier storage.

 

What myself and others do, actually I learned it here, is to tear the center tubes out ourselves and vac seal it using a seal-a-meal or food saver.

It crushes down so well that you can get 4 full rolls in a one gallon bag. It you take a rolling pin to it after sealing then it gets even flatter.

A 24 roll pack will take up the same space as a four roll pack.

 

Somebody had posted on here recently, that they had crammed like 18 rolls into a 5 gallon bucket. Also, look into mullein

This video indicated it makes AWESOME toilet paper, and it grows like a weed. It's a humorous video too.

P.S. I do not have any experience with mullein.

 

wet wipes dude! They work a lot better and you wind up with a lot less trash to pack or bury.

Charmin does make camp TP though,but its John Wayne stuff. No roll and not fluffy so its got a lot of sheets .

 

You can buy camping TP that is already compacted for backpacking, but it's really pricey. The easiest way is to just remove the tube and vacuum pack a roll. They shrink down really small that way and that keeps them waterproof too.

 

Do it like the Native Americans. They wuz stinky, but everyone wuz stinky.

 

You know that is how dogs became domesticated; they became camp cleaners, and living TP.

 

Google "family cloth"

 

I didn't realize it had a name!

This is what I was planning to do... A Tank Sprayer* and "Family Cloth"

The family doesn't know my plan yet... Don't think I'll tell them until after the SHTF...

 

Of all the survivalist and prepper problems I can think of, the very last one would be Cryo-vacced toilet paper.

I just put a roll in a ziploc bag for my daughter's GHB, and all I had to do was squeeze it--I didn't even take out the cardboard roll it was on.

If the biggest problem one has is "solving" the TP "problem," I'd say they are as prepped as anyone can ever be.

 

Here's the camping TP:

If you want hard core stuff, use MRE TP. I've got some from C Rats.

C-rats? Now thats some vintage stuff!

 

I've got baby wipes in small container in the bob. Been using em for yrs. And not just on the grandkids. They've always helped me take the poop outta the fur.:

 

TMI dude.......

 

I use Diaper wipes gets you cleaner, dry them out still good fire starter and can be used to take a sponge bath.

 

If you are in Asia your left hand.

If you are in the upper class in Asia, someone else's left hand. :xeye:

 

Phonebook...'nough said

I am trying to find a copy of the Tax Code - 14K pages!

 

Got a garbage bag of enron and worldcom paper,We're covered...Bout all it's good for..

 

DO NOT USE MULLION FOR TOILET PAPER

Contrary to the posted video, the leaves of the Common Mullion plant are an irritant to sensitive skin. They feel really soft, and you can be easily tempted to use them as TP, but your butt will itch for the rest of the day.

I have lots of this plant growing around my house, and thought I had a TP solution. After trying it one day (for test purposes), I can confirm that you should not plan on using this!!!

 

everytime i'm out in the bush
i tell myself i'm going to try Mullein

The little fuzzy spines stick in your butt. It is a good tobacco alternative, and some believe it helps with asthma to make a tea out of the flowers.

 

One of the primary reasons we need to fight hard to keep society going is butt wipe.

 

watch and learn! my cooks will always be western :thumb:

Mullein.....I've got that (crap). If you purposely plant it or it's growing around your property, and when it goes to seed, you will hate yourself for the rest of your life. While it may have it's purpose for something, it's very invasive, self seeds to just about everywhere besides where you want it to be, and once you've got it and try to control the spreading problem, there will be hell to pay. If you have anything over a city lot, the control problem will be somewhere between unbearable to impossible, and you're gonna make the manufacturer of Roundup and it's likes filthy rich, all while losing the battle to control this "pretty" yet highly invasive, prolific spreading weed. Consider yourself warned.

 

True, but it only puts on the stalk and seeds every other year. So if you catch it the first when it's just a fuzzy patch then you can dig it up quite easily.
It's wierd, it grows the base one year, dies back for winter and year 2 it flowers and seeds.

 

Well know.....we went from asking about survival TP...all the way to corn holing.

Outstanding !!!!


OP I would try to do as suggested with removing the tubes from regular rolls, and then placing them into those Space Bags. Not sure of their quality, but you would be able to reduce the volume by removing the fluff factor.

 

Granny was quite old even when I was born. She had come from a subsistence farm in South Carolina and knew all sorts of uses for wild plants. She did use mullein for arthritis; and smoked various things that might be illegal today.

I was taught to use leaves to wipe and as I recollect it worked pretty well, although today I think it might feel less than clean . . .

Hoping you don't have to try that in the fall or winter........

 

i just took a double roll, smashed in flat, stuffed it in a ziplock bag.packing cans of beans, i dont want no skimpy roll of "camping" TP.

for my disaster prep "cache" im thinking of getting them vacuum bags you use with a vacuum cleaner.smash down a whole package as small as i can. collapsing the tube doesnt hurt it, eliminating the tube isnt needed to save room.

 

Have lots with the cardboard removed, but in the get home bag, carry the small Kleenex tissues in the factory sealed package. Takes up very little room.

You can clean your butt with a kleenex?
They barely hold my nose blow.

 

Just use a leave like everyone else. Just don't use a fern, they might be big but they rip though flesh.

 

OMG!!! I'm reading this on my break at work and nearly choked myself trying not to laugh out loud!
