I take my four year old daughter and her friend hiking every week, and a few weeks ago we had our first "I have to poo!" in the middle of nowhere emergency together.

Experience to the rescue right?! Wrong! I lived and learned through this exact emergency before, when my son was little. After that, I carried a trowel for just such an occasion, but it was removed from my day hike pack some time ago and not replaced. DOH!

Thankfully I had toilet paper, wipes and plastic bags this time! My day hike bag trowel has now been replaced and I've double-checked that there is one in the family BOB. Lesson re-learned. wink

Camping toilet paper is another thing I'm considering as I rebuild my EDC. We've all been in the situation in which the public restroom is out of toilet paper.

Toilet supplies are a top priority when you've got little ones, especially if they aren't potty trained yet, but I'm with you, Jeanette Isabelle, they're a good thing for all us to be prepared with.

There are several makes of adult wipes. Charmin makes one for instance.

Leaves and bark, the ultimate outdoor experience.

Cones, if you are very careful.

Because TP don't grow on trees, LOL
