If you know where the streams are, have the basics of a fire making kit and a pot or other metal container to be heated by fire and have a few soap nut shells in a plastic waterproof container (condom or two for waterproofing and knotted) and maybe a rag to dry yourself off with, then you are in pooping heaven.

Then you use the grey squirrel as a food source 8-)

No No it's Rabbits, Squirrels eat nuts ;)
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

Glad you specified the type of squirrel. :D

I remember visiting the Jorvik centre when I was a kid, they found huge quantities of (used) moss in the privy pits.

I suppose a wash-rag (each !!) is the best option for 'round the back' and a separate 'dabber' for the XX members of the party

I've got a fairly decent amount of TP in storage.
I buy the 9 roll packs from QD for a couple of quid, it's not too bad quality either, I unroll, bin the card tube and fold roll them back up, then into the vac bags.

Never bothered with the whole unwrapping thing probably because I've never really thought it worth the hassle. Does it save much in space compared with just squashing the roll complete with tube? I've probably mentioned it before but if the roll is going to be used in a conventual way in the toilet on a holder then squashing it does prevent the whole thing unraveling fluffy puppy advert style.

Not too sure to be honest, just something I've always done, I'll leave the tubes in the next batch and see if theres much difference

Well we thought that in worst case scenario we'd just use what we all use when cleaning babies butts - wet wipes. They're easier to store and last a long time whilst the packet stays factory sealed. You can get the sensitive ones which are more or less just soaked in purified water, to reduce the risk of soreness with regular use...

For those on the move, and when the TP runs out, try these ass rags:

My prepping consists of bugging out by bicycle so any comments are likely to be based on that scenario.
