mj52732,
It's simple MJ, I plan on using the sponge on a handle method with a soothing mix for the water. :) Done it before, and yeah MRE TP is not great, but ya know when people are desperate some will think it heaven sent compared to what they will have been trying to use. :)

Mullen leaves they are nice and soft.

Whenever any government becomes oppressive it is not only the right but the duty of the citizenry to revolt. Thomas Jefferson

I can understand how a person can look at mankinds inhumanity to man and say there is no God; but I can not understand how a person can look at the mountains and the stars and say there is no God. Abraham Lincoln

No state has the inherrant right to survive through conscript troops. Roman matrons used to say to their sons "Come back with your shield or on it.". Later this tradition declined, so did Rome. excerpt from Time Enough For Love by Robert Heinlien

PS I bought hundreds of MRE toilet paper packets and sotred them in cacumn bag. Figured it would make good ttrade item at one time for the current price it cost me.

well if u bought hundreds of them, that is a good start. but what u guna use the next time u got to take a dump. thous things are just a bought worthless for wiping your ass. i know i have had to use um in the field. as a child i grew up pretty poor and my grandma was somewhat of a seamstress so we had lots of dress patterns. that is what we used on occasion. plus in a bind i have used a towel and wet one end to wipe clean then the dry end to dry myself off. their is all ways baby wipes. thy get ya pretty clean as well and if thy are good for a baby thy are good for you as well.

Each Roman soldier was given 1 sponge with a wooden handle and they cleaned themselves with it, then washed it off in a bucket of water with vingar in it. They used same sponge not different ones.
