I don't send it to myself. I buy it and most of my supplies en route.
Shelling out cash in trail towns helps supports those local economies and is
a helluva lot easier than mailing. I only mail what I cannot find en route.

As for taking out the cardboard center, that seems silly. I did that once
and weighed it to see how much I was saving. It wouldn't even register on my
postal scale. Same reason I don't drill holes in my lexan spoon. And fer
goodness sakes, don't forget the baby wipes and hand sanitizer. They are
worth their weight in gold out there away from hot, running water.

I was woundering what everybody was doing for Toilet Paper (T.P.)
After reading the Groceries Hikers Buy list... I noticed that it
said,"Toilet Paper - Single Rolls or they'll steal it from Public
Restrooms."

I've been saving partial roles of T.P. for a several months now, woundering
what everyone else did when your talking about 28+/- resupply points.

Do you send it to yourself?
Do you try to buy single roles? Lets not ask the stealing question.
Are you weight conscious as me, do you take out the middle cardboard center?

Just 9 more roles for me, then I can send them to myself, should the USPS
agree to send me all the packages in a timely fashion...(sigh)

Enough with the Bathroom talk...:-)
