The video gives a whole new meaning to not shaking hands with hikers!!



Those are just the two summers I hiked. There have been many other  
fires since then. Not all these fires I experienced were caused by  
hikers, but at least one of them was caused by burning toilet paper.  
You can hike the trail without toilet paper. This is a good video  
about it.

I have done this and it works a lot better than TP because you are  
basically giving yourself a little bath every day, which is far  
cleaner and more sanitary overall and doesn't risk burning down the  
forest or leaving party streamers to gross out the whole world. And  
for number 1, ladies, your dainty little piles of TP left under a  
tree totally gross me out. A little squirt from a squeeze bottle  
filled with water and a little dry with a dedicated bandana does the  
trick.

If you are totally afraid of your own body then please whatever you  
do, pack your used TP out and don't burn it.
