I go UL, and yes, I take TP. My buddy Rumi we found had TWO rolls with him on a week trip. He was selling it at the end for food. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
I suffer when I am hiking enough, and leaving my pillowy white TP at home isn't worth the suffering. For guys it isn't as big of an issue, for me, drip drying is an invite to a very painful bladder infection (something you don't want mid trip).

I do pack my TP out as well.

as for the fungal/spores...while the chances are VERY low, I had a hiking partner in college who used ferns and got a NASTY infection down there. Who knows what caused it, but the skin around the area got all nasty (male), swelled up and it took a lot of time and medication to get it back to normal. So, while nature's TP can be ok, do know what you are using! Vanilla leaf is great to use, and a secret? Use it layered between a couple sheets of TP. It feels like you have more TP than you do.

As for the pans. I haven't cleaned a pan in 3 1/2 years on the trail <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
