Well, if ya have any handy... you can use 'em. I'm not saying you do, or that they should be your first choice, but like they say, "use 'em if ya got 'em," or something like that.

What's important is that you mark my words, with whatever you have. I can't remember what those words might of been, or why they might have been important, but they should certainly be marked.
 
ya'll wear clothes in the woods? run free, run free, feel the breeeeeeeeze

ah seriously though my choices for cleaning are TP and individual care wipes. Nice and clean, no odor, and they can be burnt.

Ron Hood likes the a^^ rag, i have done this on a long hike, but its not for everyone.

I tend to take the core out of the TP roll, collapse it, and take it with me. Running out wouldn't be a catastrophe, but I'd rather not. Yes, I have used leaves on many occasions, but I prefer the white paper stuff. Burns well, too.
 
I have nothing of value to add at this time but damn some of the comments are funny. Thanks
 
Real woodsmen don't wear undies, so they won't be buying any tape protectors.

Nowadays with the 'carry it out' philosophy, a better use of the duct tape is to seal up the offending orifice for the duration of the journey. And if your liquid drain tube isn't long enough to tie a knot in it directly, you can use a shoelace to tie a contrictor knot to stop the flow of waste fluids.
 
Does that tape stick to bandanas? The ultralighters may use their bandana for a sweat band, a water sponge, a water filter, a blanket, a bum rag and a loin cloth (folded like a diaper) so the tape would need to stick to bandana fabric.
 
A little trick I learned from my dog as a kid...I drop to the ground in a seated position, legs straight out in front of me, and scooch across the forest floor. Painful, and dirty, but....but...well just painful and dirty.
 
Thats a good idea JCavSD.

Come to think of it, our danged dog did it on the carpet the other day.
 
Wiped my arse with stinging nettles once,when I was about 10,you learn never to do that again!
