[pct-l] Fw: Toilet paper

I think the LNT standard now is to pack out used TP.

  Be sure to identify and then bring a bio-degradable toilet paper product. TP can become a real eyesore if not properly buried. I buried as deep as possible in organic soil whenever possible (bacteria and carbonic acid present there help to break it down) - under trees or bushes. Pee on top of it before covering hole - that also helps. An organic substitute that I sometimes used when available was that lichen that you will often see hanging from fir trees, or under them. It comes in nearly black and also in light green. Of course, the best solution would be to pack your TP out with you in a small OpSak, which prevents odors from escaping.

  What did everyone do for TP? Did you unroll a roll and put it in the 
  food drops? What about baby wipes? And how much TP does one go through 
  on the trail? Let me know any suggestions you have.
