you have obviously never eaten alot of mre's. they always plugged me up. I always thought the tp was in there to use as currency in case you got lost in a foreign country.

the TP in an MRE is barely enough to wipe yer ass with. In the field, just as long as you get the big chunks off yer ass, yer good 2 go!

I don't think you are actually supposed to use them to wipe your ass. You are supposed to use them to wipe off your hand after you finishing wiping your butt with your hand.
But what do I know.... |

Meal goes in, meal goes out [:D].
I guess the TP is there to aid in the completion of the process. |

Prairie-Ranger comes close from what I remember... you're supposed to push your finger thru the paper, do your wiping with previously mentioned finger, then use the TP to clean finger. (IIRC) [:)]

I always had logs when eating MREs. Hardly any mess at all....
The never "plugged" me up but I would go longer between sit-downs. I am a regular 2-3 times a day. Change my diet to MREs and I might go once a day or day and a half. There is no time for shitting during a firefight. |

Quoted: Prairie-Ranger comes close from what I remember... you're supposed to push your finger thru the paper, do your wiping with previously mentioned finger, then use the TP to clean finger. (IIRC) [:)] I had an old 1SG tell me once you open the toilet paper. Extend your pointer finger, drape the paper over your finger. Next tear off the tip of the paper, put this tip in your pocket. DO NOT LOOSE IT! Wipe your rear with your finger, then pull the paper over your finger, cleaning your finger off. Final step, reach into your pocket, remove the tip of toilet paper. This is used to clean the shit from under your pointer finger finger nail. Resume combat operations! Edited to add: What a great post to reply to for my 100th post![beer] |

Easy - you save it until you DO need it. I'm pretty regular, but that drops off to about every two days on MRE's for any length of time. Also, you're pretty damn solid by then, so you don't need to wipe 40 times. Twice will do.
MRE = Meal Refusing to Exit. Live off of them for about a week and you will understand... Be careful when returning to "regular" food. It's not as bad as the Crat transition, but be careful until you know how your system will react... FFZ |

Eat the MRE then eat the TP. MRE comes out first followed by the paper. Automatic wipe. No mess.

Throw the MRE TP away.
Get the real TP from your ruck, track or truck. If you did not bring enough real T to the field, you are an idiot and deserve to us MRE TP. Every vehicle usually had several rolls floating around it, somewhere, at a minimum. It was considered a necessary part of the vehicle, like engines or tires. For long field problems, several cases would be around. It was less important than water or ammo, but probably more important than fuel or coffee. Wipe as normal. Also, many places, especially overseas, everyone was so envornmentally sensitive, even ten years ago, that they did not want you crapping in cat holes. As a result, there was usually some kind of porta-john within walking distance. They usually got serviced every few days, including a re-stock of TP. |

True on the serious side of things, in Germany we always had Porta-poties. Even when we went to the field and stayed outside of some German town in the woods, Porta-poties were there. But I think this thread was meant more for the lighter side of it! |

Good job, QUIB.
You are faithful Keeper of the Legend. When civilization collapses, and history is neglected, your knowledge will have value. Mankind may yet survive, as long as this wisdom is not lost. Pass it on to your children, as I have, so that the old ways will not be forgotten. |

In the winter up here, we are actually supposed to shit in a bag and take it out with the trash since you can't dig a slit trench in frozen ground. And no pissin in the bag either! You're actually supposed to be able to keep from takin' a wiz as you crap.
The worst has to be a Fort Greely in December porta can though. Nothing like whippin it out in -20 to take a dump on a plastic seat. |

I always looked forward to MREs. It was a break from that despicable chow from the chow hall. The only thing wrong with MREs is you need C4 just to get into them.
