While you wait for the usual places to restock, stop by the dollar store and grab the cheap stuff from the book aisle...

What the hell? No store here in Columbus has toilet paper. I'm not looking to hoard the stuff, I just need to be able to wipe my a**. Why toilet paper???? People must have the stuff packed to the rafters in their basements and garages.
Best I can figure the news about no toilet paper during the Venezuela economic meltdown must have scarred our psyche pretty bad.
It's to the point where it might be prudent for the secretary of commerce to hold a news conference and re-assure folks that there is no toilet paper shortage.
Hopefully it can’t be any worse than the ‘ball up’ soft stuff the women in my life love to use. After the pass you’ve looking at 50% hand retention with the other half populating the crack like snowballs.
When citizens start hijacking Walmart delivery trucks, then it might be getting real bad. I’ll wait, set back and read THE DECAMERON and MASK OF THE RED DEATH again.
Raised on the high plains and backwoods of the Ozarks, we learned to be prepared 70 years ago.
The TP shortage meme spread by smartphone...infection by internet connection.
Better to fast until a delivery arrives.
Too many modern day people have never learned how to substitute other products for what is no longer on the shelves.
Walmart rubbing alcohol shelves empty, hydrogen peroxide shelf is full of their brown bottles. Both work.
No hand sanitizer, but the dish soap shelves are full.
No toilet paper, telephone books still work as do cheap wash clothes. Just launder with soap and bleach, which is still plentiful. A Koran in Arabic is made of a very pulpy type paper. works wonders.
Is no one rushing for the milk and bread as they have done in the past?
LOL, where’s McGyver when you need him?
Years ago it was said that in military regulations only “two sheets” were required to wipe with.
My memory of those military years is the military toilet paper was so slick it would not take s**t off anyone, so many of the GIs bought their own at the PX.
John Spartan found a solution with the wall mounted ticket dispenser. Just swear a blue streak until sufficient citations are issued. What are the three sea shells?
Anyone allergic to soy based ink?
Telephone book? What is that?
“Koran in Arabic” LOL! Roger that!
Once upon a time there were plans on how build a filter for fallout from TP rolls. Airflow was from end-to-end along the space between the layers of paper wrapped on the roll.

Yeah, well it sure the heck is scaring the crap out of me..! :)
Rule #1 in ANY survival situation is not to panic.
Step back from the situation and look around.
I would say rule #2 is: Survival does not meet you have to be miserable. The object of survivalism is to be a comfortable as possible with what you have. Even if it seems like you do not have much.
I think growing up with everything you need is a disadvantage.
Amazingly, most of the so called poor have lots more than i ever did growing up.
As a result they do not have to think for themselves.
That there Clark is some GOOOOD stuff!
Banana tree?
I remember those engine oil filters that used a roll of buttwipe as the internal filtration.
Agreed!
There was also an oil filter set-up for your vehicles.
