TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

I usually carry 2 or 3 of those small tissue pkts in my daypack, just in case :wink: .
For overnight walks or longer I've found that putting a normal sized roll in a cliplock plastic bag works well.

Moved to a new thread.....dunny paper rules!
Depending on the trip duration and the number of dried curries I plan to take, a scientific calculation of sheet numbers, density and quality of the paper occurs. Then a full, 3/4 or half roll is safely stored in a "zip loc" bag. Cheap, light and usually waterproof.

I keep my TP in 2 different bags, just in case something happens to one bag, there will always be some extra down the bottom of my pack. I have had to give Tp to walkers at times when they couldn't find theirs or they had thought their partner had brought it.
I don't like to have to resort to leaves and bark.
I find a bread bag works really well to keep it dry.

i just pull out the cardboard roll from the centre of it so it squishes down more and then put it in a ziplock bag.
