I don't know if I want you to use details or not. Â Can you clarify? Â I didn't understand a bit of that. Â Or atleast I don't think I did. This can be very useful so that I do not carry soo much toilet paper around. Â Not just for the military, but for traveling too.<span id='postcolor'> Its a VERY OLD military joke.

morbid 0 Posted April 16, 2002 hehe, seems toilet paper is an important commodity in the army... I was wondering, what do you do with it when your done? You obviously can't leave it lying around. It'd be a real big give away, after all I don't know many animals that'll wipe their arse with loo roll.... So do you put it back in your bergen in little plastic sealable bags? Because otherwise, would it not stink, and I suspect the last thing you want to find when looking for something in it is some shitty paper... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingBeast 0 Posted April 16, 2002 Maybe if the position isnt in too much danger of compromise then they will burn it? (used tp) Wouldnt want to be around to smell that Putting it in plastic bags sound reasonable. I have read about soldier crapping into plastic bags and such and taking it with them so that they leave no trace of their prescence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have read about soldier crapping into plastic bags and such and taking it with them so that they leave no trace of their prescence.<span id='postcolor'> Common infatrymen usually use soldier latrines (seat looks like the toilet) but the final prodcut fall into barrels. You then mix it with gaslone and diesle power in mixture: 5 parts of s**** 1 part of gasoline and 2 part of diesel and then burn it. But it smells like hell  This is really old method used already in NAM (remember Platoon movie  ) The bags are used by recon forces (etc..) but it must be well done. When u mix poo with pee in one bag its bad. It takes a while but the effervesce produce lot of gas so when u walk with reccon neewbies and hear "Blob" from his bag you shoudl really fas aquisite the direction wind :-) When u want to "secrete" into bags you MUST separate pee and poo. Best is to add some acid aggent (lemon juice is best) to speed up desintegration of your "final" products. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scout 0 Posted April 16, 2002 when we went on ambushes we took CS spray and we dug, a hole in the middle of the formation. after we were done with the ambush we would cover it and spray it with CS. it prevents animal to come close for about week or two. BTW. the best field toilet-paper? round smooth rocks! we stopped to take these plastic bags after hizbollah shot at us and one bullet punctured it, and all our cold weather gear was........um......unwearable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
