after actually getting out of my truck and hiking opening weekend of deer modern firearm season in vail tree form, I stumbled upon a lot of human sign and got to wondering... do people still really pack TP for mountain money?

I have always believed baby wipes are far superior, but maybe there is something better out there? perhaps the washington state game regs would work better, or all that extra license paper you get if you don't purchase ALL your licenses at the same time.

lets face it, taking care of business in the woods is an art form ( or so I heard someone say that one time ) so let the artists speak up.

I always cary TP with me its in a ziplock with my lighter, vasoline, and wax matches. Make sure to keep enough for at leas one good wipe and one good fire.

I dumped a 6 pack out of a brown paper bag and used it last weekend. Desperate times call for desperate measures...

I lost a game bag last weekend because I was mountain-money-less.
Never again.

TP. Its the 11th essential.

While the subject has come up, please move your business out of the middle of landings and into the bushes. Heck, maybe even bury it a little.

Nothing better than driving out on a landing and stepping directly in a pile of S***.

I use the flushable wipes by Charmin or one of the other outfits.

Caseyd · « **Reply #6 on:** October 20, 2011, 01:44:26 PM »

I choose baby wipes, cause they are preferred.

However its usually TP.

There always seems to be a roll in the truck, tractor, quad, you name it theres probably a roll near by.

We call them fertilizer markers since they resemeble the airial spraying markers

Now I have seen every kind of thread imaginable...what kind of tP do you use ??

I sure hope no one decides to post a pictorial "how to crap in the woods" LOLX30947328

TP for me but when I was 10 I was hiking with my dad on his elk hunt about 3 miles from truck and well..... our mountain money supply was down to none and lets just say, the sleeve from dad's carhardt shirt was nothing like Charmin ultra

A guy has to improvise sometimes.

Jackelope, that is a first for me hearing about somone using a game bag for TP.

I've used socks before..........but now I always remember TP and/or preparation H wipes.

Vees · « **Reply #10 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:29:37 PM »

Somehow I managed to find myself on hikes without TP twice this fall. First time I missed the TP when I was repacking my bag, second time I left it in the truck.

Not a fun lesson to learn twice in one year!

I was pleasantly surprised what nature provided for a TP subsistute (leaves and the green moss that hangs from trees). Not bad, haha.

Klyne3 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:32:00 PM »

Took some of the Blue Paper Towels for working on cars with me last week-end and dang there soft and work pretty good !

I also have a pair of long john pants with only 3/4 of one leg due to some bad camp chili. Had to keep cutting strips off my long john's every hour or so to keep up. That was my first and last time forgetting TP in the woods.

TopOfTheFoodChain · « **Reply #14 on:** October 20, 2011, 02:47:44 PM »

Both wipes and tp are always in my backpack. Also a roll or two in the truck and an extra package of wipes.

DWP · « **Reply #15 on:** October 20, 2011, 03:00:41 PM »

I always grab an extra package of baby wipes when I buy them for my son. Keep an extra in my truck, too.
Next best thing to taking a shower...

CavemantheHunter · « **Reply #16 on:** October 20, 2011, 03:04:37 PM »

I too am guilty of using a game bag as TP. Let's just say I only buy gamebags now, cheesecloth is far superior to Charmin.

Rooster1981 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2011, 03:08:48 PM »

I have been found guilty more than once of coming home with only one sock. I try to keep tp with me at all times. But desperate times call for desperate measures!

I really thought wipes would be stronger on the poll. they are also good for cleaning up blood and if you can find the old school alcohol based wipes they make a hell of a fire starter. not to mention they are still functional if the get wet, unlike TP.

it always seems like you have about two feet less of TP than you really need... thats when game bags, game regs, and pant legs come in handy. and some times in extreme moments of outdoor-lavatory emergency-triage : your boxers.

HUNTINCOUPLE · « **Reply #19 on:** October 20, 2011, 03:36:18 PM »

I keep the small squirt bottle of scent free spray with my tp and make my own wet wipe. Let me know if we need a you tube presantation.

buckfvr · « **Reply #20 on:** October 20, 2011, 03:42:16 PM »

Baby wipes dont break down in a septic system fast enough to "NOT" cause problems, and they sure as hell dont break down fast enough layin on the ground........then theres the scent issue which should be of some concern for guys supposed to be hunting.

cle elum bowhunter · « **Reply #21 on:** October 20, 2011, 04:00:11 PM »

Baby wipes all day every day. Buy the unscented of course. Good for blood clean-up, washing hands after eating and nothing better to avoid the "mountain ass" than a nice cleaning with the wipes. That said, as another member requested, get your ass off the trail/landing or road and for god sakes, dig a whole and bury it. Even a boot scrape or peel the forest duff back and then recover. Nuff said.

Socks sleeves pages of the regs, whatever...

As was mentioned earlier, desperates times call for desperate measures. I usually have TP but for some reason was without it. Call it organization if you want.

Bigshooter · « **Reply #25 on:** October 20, 2011, 05:04:37 PM »

I like a combo. TP then wipes then TP again. But I only voted for wipes.

jrebel · « **Reply #26 on:** October 20, 2011, 05:53:07 PM »

paper towels.....

Martinhunter · « **Reply #27 on:** October 20, 2011, 06:01:08 PM »

Monday morning when I went out hunten straight from work, I found myself having to take care of business and realized that I had nothing to use.

So what did I do? I sacraficed a sock. I know that that is kinda littering in the woods but I did my best to burry the sock. :tup:I guess you do what you gotta do...

My hunter Orange vest used to have a pocket on the back in which to carry things. A few years ago it got zit off and sacrificed. The funny part was we got back to the truck and could see pieces of Orange blowing around the hillside in the wind.

my brother used to do the same when we were younger (20 years ago), and then he would wear his tee shirt around in the summer was in fashion

don't think he could get away with it now (additional 50lbs.)

I always carry a telescoping fishing pole and a bag of baby carrots.....you can always catch a rabbit!

Mackerson · « **Reply #33 on:** October 21, 2011, 09:15:30 AM »

I chose TP because it doubles as a fire starter. One time I forgot my mountain money in another pack and had to use a page out of a survival guidebook that I found in my first-aid kit. That was a little rough for my liking.

I think my wife and I and kids might have come across one of your accidents with your undershorts. We now call that the poopy pants road!

I always have wipes at camp but usually just carry tp. Probably start carrying some wipes in a zip lock now though.

brokehunter · « **Reply #38 on:** October 21, 2011, 11:55:48 AM »

I have had to use a pair of socks before. And then there was the year that I grabbed the tp out of my pack to find that my ex's cat had pissed on the entire roll! How, or why, I still don't know! I don't know what's worse. Crap in the crack, or a crack that smells like cat pee!

On a side note, I know of a few occasions where someone has been pooping in the woods and that's when a buck decides it's ok to make an appearance. It happened to my dad. He leaned his gun against a tree and was taking care of business when a nice 3 point decided to trot out in front of him. He tried to reach his rifle, tripped, nearly fell over into his pile, and by the time he reached his gun, the deer was gone.

Then a buddy of mine told me one of his co-workers was in mid-poop and a nice buck popped its head out of the brush. In a split second decision, he pulled is pants back up and took a shot, while finishing in his drawers!

He got his buck, but his buddies made him ride in the back of the truck back to camp.

DeKuma · « **Reply #39 on:** October 21, 2011, 12:34:20 PM »

That happened to me!
I was mid grunt when a buck stepped out in front of me, luckily I had my .44 mag on my belt around my knees and was able to pull, shoot, grunt and get him.

The blue paper towwels are the best !. I told my buddy they might seeing blue bird nests

Well. This is an interesting subject for sure. I have use the fingers of my glove and a handkerchief.

Although everyone get caught and has to poo in the woods. It should not be something someone else should have to stumble across. I always find time to kick a hole in the ground as to cover up my mess when finished. I can not understand why people don't take the time to do the same. Last week I got out of the truck and took two steps to see someones pile next to a fence line. No doubt this fella had a greasy burger for dinner the night before. Why did I have to see that?

Please bury your mud!

Curly · « **Reply #42 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:26:30 PM »

Worse yet is when your bird dog decides he would like to try a bite of what that guy ate for dinner last night........
