This helps to dissolve the paper.

Or you can pack out your TP, which is what I do and what the rangers prefer you do.


In many parks, rangers don't suggest this--they REQUIRE it.

And it is what we do in all cases. WE are SICK of seeing toilet paper in the backcountry. And yeah, it probably started out buried. But it wasn't when we got there.

Thanks.
