Not to good at the what if game huh? No secondary options? Want to ridicule a legitimate question that there maybe alot of people wondering but too embarrassed to ask?

Maybe your part of why people throw shit and paper all over the place, because they can't learn something without weeding through memes and elitism. Overlanding as a whole is just hurting itself by promoting to go out and have fun, buy this and that but never give solutions to real everyday scenarios.

One day you will find yourself without toilet paper and be in a shitty situation and think back to this thread and come up with a solution. Your welcome

My GF always buys backups of everything. When she opens a new bottle of Ketchup, she makes a note and buys its replacement, same with toothpaste, and everything else in the house. Hell, she has an emergency frozen pizza in the freezer. She buys the blue 12 packs of Charmin, 6 rolls go upstairs, 6 rolls go downstairs. Then she buys another 12 pack and stores it in the closet. I made fun of her once so she let it get down to 2 spare rolls, then Covid hit and all the store shelves were emptied of TP. Boy, I showed her nothing bad would happen if she didn't have spare TP on hand. We were down to raiding our hiking packs for toilet paper. I grabbed some spare paper towels from work, but we never needed to use them, thankfully.

Now, we are back up to between 12 to 24 rolls in the house.

Yah my mom likes a spare 3-4 ...6 pack at the least. Her household did not have to sweat it for a while. She also made sure laundry soap/dish soap was good for a year. JUST IN CASE!

Blue?.........NO RED, no the New Charmin BROWN? :astonished: Tell her to experiment on the flavors.......:sweatsmile:

Nope. I plan ahead. But sad that such a small thing gets you all worked up.
