I used white sage, dry grass folded over a few times, wild cucumber  
leaves (not the fruit!), and fir/spruce boughs. I tried using a stick  
once and got 'roids. Rarely could I find a smooth rock, but those  
work well. The fir/srpuce worked best. Then clean up with water.

I never used TP on the trail. I believe nothing is better for good  
bowel health than pooping in the great outdoors. I also think we  
should all consider learning to wipe our butts without using old- 
growth trees. Didn't you enjoy the forest much better than the  
clearcuts?
