If you’re stuck in the woods with no toilet paper, reach for Aster Macrophyllus. Also more commonly known as the Bigleaf Aster. This leaf has a characteristically heart shape look. What makes it the perfect TP substitute is the large size and soft fuzzy feel. People in the logging industry refer to it as lumberjack’s toilet paper.

Just don't grab the poison ivy.... I know that feeling ;_;
ReplyDeleteI like the fuzzy feel. lol.
ReplyDeletePerfect for when your aster needs a big leaf.
ReplyDeletethis data is so interesting
ReplyDeleteI suppose that's preferable over Bunny Ear cactus...
ReplyDeleteWhen I shit in the woods, I wipe with a grizzly bear.
ReplyDeleteI actually have some of this outside. Maybe I could save up on toilet paper. Lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know what I can use next time I'm out there in the forest. It's better than using your sock and then throwing it away!
ReplyDeleteI'll stick to my Baby Soft two-ply thanx all the same.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess I've been doing it wrong, using rocks.
ReplyDeleteNow that's worth knowing.
ReplyDeleteThis is useful even though I don't go camping anymore.
ReplyDeletenice stuff :o
ReplyDeleteI really thought it was poison ivy, thank Jeebus and I didn't make that mistake.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep that in mind. lol.
ReplyDeletehahaha "lumberjack's toilet paper". To me, this is way funnier than it should be.
ReplyDeleteWe call them doc leaves in the u.k and they have graced my hoop on many a camping trip.
ReplyDeleteNot to be confused with poison ivy...
ReplyDeleteSweet I'm going to start a garden of this stuff!
ReplyDeletehaha
Definitely following!
This is actually good info to know! Hopefully, I won't ever need to use this tip, but just in case - Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll just go leaf picking and stock these in my bathroom.
ReplyDeletePrinted out the pic to take with me on road trips. Thank you. Some foliage, of course, is poisonous, while some has a waxy coating which...well, it's just not effective :-)
ReplyDeleteCrikey, I wouldn't know the difference between that and poison ivy. I'd be in big trouble in the woods.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to remember that... You know, just in case.
ReplyDeleteWith my luck, I'd be stuck in the woods with nothing but evergreen trees, pine cones and poison ivy leaves.
ReplyDeletethanks for that valuable information. Another tip - if there's three, leave it be :)
