So how about the need for toilet paper? I have found that for the 
liquid variety of waste you don't need it (you can use grass, moss, 
leaves, pinecones, stripped bark...) but for the other kind I really 
need TP. I loved the book 'How to Shit in the Woods'. It explained 
lots of stuff about this. But I have never spoken to a hiker who 
completely left TP at home!
(my American friends tell me that the Dutch are way too much 
interested in bowel movements, but this list seems to negate the 
prejudice...)
