So I happened upon an ad for an "outdoors bidet", which screws onto your water bottle and lets you wash your ass when you take a shit.The woman said that it frees you from carrying your used toilet paper.Herein comes the question, who the fuck carries his used TP?You know you can just leave it in the wilderness and it will decompose, right?
Imagine arguing for being spiritually indian, if not actually indian.Pick up after yourself.
I love Pepper.
>>2871584>Herein comes the question, who the fuck carries his used TP?It’s one of those IYKYK things. If you’re in an area where you can’t bury your toilet paper (or shouldn’t), you already know why you have to pack it out. If you’re in an don’t know why, then you’ve never been to a place like that.
>>2871606But the trail of microplastics you leave behind from the soles of your shoes grinding down into the soil is fine?
It should be buried with the poop. Even if someone is too lazy to bury it, TP makes the whole pile more visible and less likely to be stepped in by others. Use TP and for an even better clean, something akin to baby wipes afterwards. You people squirting water on your ass and playing with your poopy buttholes with your bare hands are nuts. The people who do this smell like shit.
>You know you can just leave it in the wilderness and it will decompose, right?I walked the first 20 miles of the Appalachian Trail two months after the bubble when no one was there. The amount of toilet paper just left around was truly disgusting.You have to understand that retards go outdoors too. It's hard to help these people but a portable bidet is a good start. I wouldn't carry TP at all if I was hiking and had a portable bidet.
>>2871584There are places where they don't want you to bury your TP and pack it out instead. Personally I think this is a stupid rule because the vast majority of people simply won't do it. Of course packing out everything, all the time, is the best thing for the environment. But you have to be realistic about what people will actually do. They should just instruct people to bury it, it is better than them just leaving it in the open.
>>2871624They do pack out their tp, the average backpacker in a national park is affluent, educated and environmentally conscious. Most people have even accepted using wag bags and packing out their poop too at places like whitney or the desert national parks.
>>2871643Have you been up Whitney? People just leave those wag bags sitting around everywhere.
>>2871584I've thought about this ever since that pepper vid. I'm always going to bury my tp if able. However there are some places like high in the mountains where feces and tp won't degrade properly, where you have to pack out everything.
>>2871614Yes, compared to shit covered toilet paper that won’t biodegrade for several years it’s a non-issue.
>>2871647toilet paper is designed to dissolve in water. one heavy rain and its gone.
>>2871647> Yes, compared to shit covered toilet paper that won’t biodegrade for several years it’s a non-issue.Baby wipes are not toilet paper, use toilet paper. Bury both the paper and the feces.
>>2871709Yeah, I'm just gonna carry around a shovel for no other reason than to bury literal shit. Put more bins around for the dog walkers and use compostable plastic.
