As you plan your next hike, camping trip, biking excursion, hunt, fishing trip or any outdoor adventure, think to yourself, are you fully prepared for that moment when nature calls? Yes, we have all experienced that “OH NO” moment in the outdoors. One time forgetting to pack the ever important toilet paper, you will never forget it again. While toilet paper is such an important commodity, it can be so finicky in the outdoor climate. I have discovered many ways of keeping toilet paper dry and easily accessible for outdoor use.
10 Up-cycled Toilet Paper Dispenser Hack
Baby wipes box- Gallon size zip lock bag
CD/DVD dispenser- Dry roasted nut container with screw lid
Clorox wipes container- Ice cream bucket (hold two or three rolls)
Coffee can with lid- Spice container (hold a smaller portion)
Oatmeal container- Tupperware-style container
There many other ways of storing and carrying toilet paper. As showed on the oatmeal container, you can cut a slit on the side for easy access without opening the lid. These are just ten ways of utilizing containers you may have laying around the house. Make your own outdoor adventure toilet paper container convenient for next time “nature calls”.
