Favorite Stationery
Last Saturday was the last day of elk season for the tag I have. Took a couple of grandkids along 'cause I'd promised to do such a thing (a 9 and a 10 yr old). So a cold early morning with about a 10 knot breeze in our faces, bundled up in all the clothes we have along, knife on belt, binocs hung around neck, down vest, hunting jacket, gun slung over shoulder -- you know the situation. Then it hits -- the old "urge to purge".
"You're not going to believe this guys, but grandpa has to poop. Go on up to that tree there and I'll catch up in a while."
Fortunately I have freshly stocked my pockets with my favorite stationery for this occasion -- Viva Select-a-size paper towels. Remington model 14/35 Rem; Randall knife; Viva towels
So what is your favorite weapon for this situation?

Not sure I really want to admit to this...
But it cost me $4.00 in 1's one morning at oh-dark-thirty while out turkey hunting... When I didn't have anything else to use and the leaves were all wet, and well... You know...
Now I always go hunting with a small roll of TP in the vest and pack -- and a few extra 1s too!

Re: Favorite Stationery
I carry a partial roll of TP and a pack of wet ones in my back pack. I also have a folding trowel in the same compartment. Never enter the woods without them and on road trips, the back pack is with me too.
PS. Love the rifle!!!!! Any pics of how you mounted the scope? What is the scope?

Since the late 60's, every one of my hunting jackets & pants has carried a partial roll of TP, stolen from my bathroom when they were about 3/4th gone & pressed flat.
I regard them like American Express: Never leave home without it.............

Grab a roll of TP when it has 1/2 an inch left around the roll. Put it in a zip lock.

Re: Favorite Stationery
I try to keep at least part of a roll of TP in my orange vest not to mention in the pack in my truck. Has multiple uses too . . . last time I used it was when I tracked my last deer, used it to mark my blood trail that I was following

Re: Favorite Stationery
I didn't' think you guys used white TP in case a short sighted hunter shot you for a White Tail !
Whatever you do always give 100%........... unless you are donating blood.

For whatever reason the model 14 & 141 look good with glass on top.

there's just something about leverguns, knives, boots, hats, gloves, jackets, packs, being outdoors, and FRESH AIR...this tread cracked me up, really made me laugh...I thought it was just me, apparently NOT! always, always carry T.P., although big Maple leaves work, pine-cones not so much... :)

Re: Favorite Stationery
I can see it is a good thing I brought up this topic -- one of the few in which I am a true expert. Yep, because of my job cutting trees I do my deed outdoors on a regular and year-round basis in all kinds of weather. Fresh air certainly contributes but there is no greater laxative than getting suited up in coveralls and then a pair of chaps. The old body just loves to wait until it's gonna' take at least 3 minutes to get unzipped and unbuttoned and unsnapped, and then Oh Golly! Oh Dang! We've got a runaway here!
And I can tell you fellers from this base of experience that on a calm day there isn't much difference but when the weather is nasty and the wind is whipping around your bum, those paper towels are far superior to a roll of t.p. And having tried every brand on the market over the years I find that Viva is the champ, even better than GI issue or dollar bills.

Re: Favorite Stationery
LOL --- I never ever go out without a roll in the truck --- As I've mentioned before , I'm not often in the woods anymore, -- but I spend a lot of days at dusty motocross tracks and mountain biking trailheads, - even when there is a "Pot-o-Gold" there (Porta-Can) --- the chances of being able to salvage any TP out of there is not good
--- riding either bicycle or motorcycle briskly with that kind of a problem is no good before, and if your not prepared with the necessary sanitary equipment (we called 'em "s--t tickets" when I was in the Army) - the ride can be even worse afterwards

Re: Favorite Stationery
When I was a kid plowing fields, there was Johnson grass, kind of a broad bladed weed that looks a little like corn, growing at the femce row. We used that. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!
Have you hugged your rifle today?

that's the main problem with kids today...no Johnson Grass, just Charmin...nothing like organic material when the need arises to toughen' up a kid...just saying... :)claybob86 wrote:When I was a kid plowing fields, there was Johnson grass, kind of a broad bladed weed that looks a little like corn, growing at the femce row.

Ooooh -- I'll bet you had to be a little careful with the Johnson grass to keep the edges from cutting you where it's tender.30wcf wrote:that's the main problem with kids today...no Johnson Grass, just Charmin...nothing like organic material when the need arises to toughen' up a kid...just saying...claybob86 wrote:When I was a kid plowing fields, there was Johnson grass, kind of a broad bladed weed that looks a little like corn, growing at the femce row.

My kid days were in the Arizona desert -- there are no plant leaves there that you'd consider "civilized". We generally searched for nice river rocks in the sand washes. Tried fig leaves once. That was a learning experience! In case you are wondering, fig leaves are not suitable for touching that tender portion of the anatomy: awful rash and itch. Friend of mine assures me that mullein leaves are in the same category. I believed him and never tried.

Re: Favorite Stationery
I carry TP and softer high quality paper towels in my Jeep. I spend long days in the bush visiting rigs and chemo has made me a rapid response expert in this important skill. I much prefer paper towels in the bush. I do remember donating a pair of briefs to the cause years ago.

Re: Favorite Stationery
Something I found about 20 years ago was, the moist hand wipes that come on a roll in the plastic bucket. I left the lid open and all the towels dried out, men that makes the best wiping cloth known to man. You can tear off several sheets and fold them up and stick them in your shirt pocket or where ever.

Re: Favorite Stationery
Gentlemen, you have just proven what I have said for years. When bad times come, the man with toilet paper will be king! Seriously, I was fortunate enough to have a dad and uncles that taught me the value of those little white squares as a kid. Now this is likely something they learned trying to use GI issued stuff during WWII.
Most books on WWII experiences gloss over this situation. One that doesn't was "Curahee, A Screaming Eagle in Normandy". The writer's description of the lack of sanitation (imagine soldiers today having to live for weeks on end with the blood and stuff from close combat on their uniforms). One description of using a knife to "scrape" their uniforms clean pretty much summed it up.
