Just to be safe, there are always TWO separate AND in separate bags, dual ply bog rolls in my vehicle.
If one drops in the lava flow by accident, there should be a backup... 😎
And two packets of those fluffy tissues in my go bag πŸ˜‚
That’s a bit OCD! Any bad experiences that caused this behaviour?😜
Haha, lost a roll once, just in very wet grass, but it highlighted the potential risk. πŸ˜‚

I wonder how many members went & placed a roll of TP in their 4x4's in the last 30 minutes! :D
I don't see the need to worry too much about toilet paper.

That is why I wear socks.

And underpants.

And a cloth hat.

To wipe the old toothless one in an emergency.

One behind passenger seats in those seatcover bags. One behind the rear seat.

Never leave with the 4x4 without 1 roll. I have been thanked ample times for those white gold
Could this be sarcasm?

Always have a roll of 2-ply, even in the platkar.

Worst part of the emergency boskak is keeping it off your shoes.

Classic. The Jimny has got these two useless little cubbies in the boot, at least I thought so until I discovered that a roll of white gold fits in there perfectly.

I always carry water and my "hand cleaning kit". Your hands get dirty when helping Landy drivers along the road or trail. Driving an 18 year old Jeep has nothing to do with it πŸ˜‰ ( that is my story and I am sticking to it)

The "kit" consists of a bar of Sunlight soap (the usual green one) and couple of plastic net bags - the ones you buy oranges in. No brand of commercial hand cleaner with or without grit come close to this combo to get grease off your mitts. Not by a long shot. You can also use the soap to clean you jammies if the bush you were running for for the veltie was just those three meters to far, wash dishes in the bush or even your hair at the campsite.
Try it.......
