LOL, I am putting together my camp budget and am trying to figure out how much toilet paper a person uses per week. One roll? 1/2 roll? I know it depends on the food, but, damn I'm googling toilet paper usage stats and not finding sh, I won't go there

You will be sorry if you do not bring 2 rolls/person/week. Especially after Chili Night.

i would suggest this is one item you may want to overpack for...

Sheryl Crow says we should use one square per "visit".

Yikes, 1 square on a camping visit would leave you with very muddy hands.

Don't like to eat Crow, huh?

That may explain why Rove didn't want to talk to her...

I don't even want to get Crow's feet.

True. Still, there's something to be said for the comfy cozy feeling of being in the Crow's nest.

 

I don't even know what that means.

seriously, plan for 2 rolls per person... TP is cheap and the more the merrier!

Better to have too much than too little. Much better.

 

Besides, its not like it'll go bad. I'd go with 1.5 or 2 rolls per person. It's probably overkill but it's better than wiping with leaves.

I say ask them to each bring one for themselves, then you only have to bring one for each member as an extra.

 

If someone uses more than someone else, you're covered then.

It depends an awful lot on the kind of TP you buy. For example, going with Scott (1000 sheets/roll) is going to get you through a lot more time than going with all your fancy, 2-ply stuff.

 

If I was going with that sort, I would probably go with about 1 roll per person per 5-6 days, with a few backup rolls just to be on the safe side.

Actually we are not backpacking. It's a residence camp on the beach, and we make regular supply trips. http://lagunastation.org/

 

No worry about running out.

You can always recycle it...

I've gone through a roll in one wipe before. I devour toilet paper.

iPod's, PS3's and now toilet paper. What's next?

It depends more on what type of poop you produce. Certain types require more wiping.

All of which will be the focus of a merit badge activity centered around Chili Night, right Tex?

No chili night on this menu. Chicken fried steak, shrimp, fish, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, fajitas, brisket . . .
