We’ve never reached that situation, either. Even the primitive campout I’d agreed to attend was rained out ... not just rain but a massive, apocalyptic storm system over the whole state park. I think Thor was looking out for me ;-).

I don’t think it’s the kind of thing that can happen to you by accident.

I don’t camp.

Unless we’ve had a hammerdown experience (the sci fi book).

Hubby understood such when we got married.

He’s welcome to camp by himself.

Our civilization has risen to the point we have indoor water seal flush potties. And I don’t intend to rebuke my wise ancestors to go poop in the woods again :)

Half this country is gone. What is keeping the country whole?

These products rarely work, especially on main line backups.

The nature of the clog is critical. It won’t work to dissolve kleenex or cloth strips.

Cut up old white socks would work. Bleach and wash like cloth diapers.

No, people can have as many as they think they need.

The dumb thing is trying to get a large amount when everyone needs them. Preppers get an extra roll in regular shopping and build up a supply over years.

A lot of idiots aren’t even home grown. All they know is “It works in America” and the 10 feet of toilet paper they used to use from their panic-hoard becomes t-shirts and old underwear when it runs out a week later.

At the rate we're going, democrat mayors and governors will cut off water and sewer service to ensure that flushing will be done only in government approved, police monitored facilities.

To prevent crowding, you will have to schedule and appointment and remain securely in your car in the parking lot until your permitted time arrives.

You’re very sweet!

No, I live in the capital district of The People’s Republic of New York; but in a very Republican town.

LUCKILY, I am a Conservative Christian Bohemian Earth Mother Hippie, and therefore possess enough common sense to not flush t-shirts down the commode!

But I thank you for your lovely offer. :)

“Put cloth in bucket to be washed.”

I was telling my wife this - she cringed.

“What? It’s the same thing we did with the kids’ diapers, except somebody else washed them!” (Cloth diaper service).

“Oh - yeah.”

“In Canada, we used leaves.”

Please tell me you didn’t use maple leaves

Because those over 3 years old had access to toilet paper.

I call this fake news. Don’t tell me that people ran out of toilet paper in less then a week.

The toilet paper/paper towel aisles at the local Safeway and Lucky's grocery stores in San Jose, CA are completely stripped. Amazon has zero paper towels or toilet paper for sale. Idiot hoarders have grabbed up the available supply.

Yup, I’ve been saying for decades that we need another WWII to wake up the country. I would draft the clueless school teachers and put them on the front line.
