But there is no luxury in war quite like toilet paper. Its surplus value is greater than gold.

Collect and save old telephone books to substitute for TP after the good stuff is used up.

“Collect and save old telephone books to substitute for TP after the good stuff is used up.”

A family relative was helping me get rid of some stuff out of my house, and he came across stacks of thick old phone books stored under a sink. He said I could get rid of those. I said no, that is toilet paper. He stores nothing and will surey die except for me if a hurricane has a direct hit where he lives, but he looked at me like I was nuts.

When he is here, he knows there are large cans of food under that bed, but hasn’t shown enough interest to ask what they are. Those cans are long term food good for 20-25 years. A non-prepper just doesn’t get it. I expect if this was his house, he would throw away those cans, thinking whatever is in them must be bad by now. They are actually in their first year of life.

Yes, I save toilet paper large phone books.
