So...what are the options if your camping in the woods and not in the city.

i thought about taking a lot of tissue but itll just get heavy and seems impractical.

would leaves work?

Poison Ivy leaves work best, or pine cones.

A handful of grass, dry or green does the job well. Check for bugs, first.

PS ALWAYS bury when done!

I do carry a roll of toilet paper in my pack just in case. It is light and will last long enough if it is used sparingly.

Small furry animals work best for me with hedgehogs being the exception.

Porcupines can be a little troublesome as well.

If you are living in the woods (like at a rainbow gathering, or just camping) it's good to cover your stool with ashes or lime if you have it. The reason for this being that a fly can dig through three feet of dirt to get to your poo, then it will land on your food and make you sick.

I try to never be without a little ziploc bag of toilet paper. You don't need much, just a couple feet, it's easy to replenish the supply at gas stations or restaurants.

Beyond the whole airborne-outbreak-fly scenario, it's just common sense to dig a foxhole to defecate in, any animal does the same. Shit is not esthetically pleasing, it smells bad, attracts pests, someone (you) might walk in it.
Not digging a hole or at least covering well is really only acceptable from someone who doesn't know better, not something to aspire to.

He isn't the cowboy anymore, he gave up that shit (no pun intended). Now, our down-home former President (let us just pause for a second and absorb how orgasmic it feels to be able to say "former") has bought an expensive 8,500 square foot house in the practically all-white community of Preston Hollow.

But still, the biggest turd ever is in a swanky mansion in Preston Hollow. Odd place for a turd, if you ask me, but isn't that the way the world works.
