Ann Marie.
One organic substitute for TP is either that light green leichen, or the nearly 
black lichen that you will see hanging from, or under, fir trees along much of 
the PCT.  Of course, bury it properly in your cat hole along with your poop.

Gotta wonder why anyone is still carrying TP - It makes me livid to enter 
camping sites and find the TP dug up by animals or not buried by humans in the 
first place. (I will pick up extraneous garbage to carryout, but not that....) A 
large problem with TP is that it shreds as you use it, meaning you use even more 
to keep your hands clean, and it doesn't get your rear end as clean as you hope 
it does. The moist wipe will prove that. Wet ones (or baby wipes) are stronger 
and you can keep folding them to get the maximum use out of them. Then just put 
them in a garbage bag and carry them out. I get double use out of my daily 
morning wet ones by using a fresh new one (one side of it) to refresh my 
face/armpits in the morning, then folding it back into the foil pouch and using 
the other side of it as TP later.
