Well, of course, the greatest human invention...
Toilet paper.
Bidet in their many forms are a clear upgrade. I would take a bucket of water & a place to wash my hands over TP.
Sure, but it's difficult to use a bidet in the forest.
Do I look like the Pope? Can’t say I shit in the woods often…
I think you might look like the Pope. But there's no real way for me to know. Just saying, there aren't a lot of bidets in the US and toilet paper is definitely lower tech.
US has tipping, gerrymandering, male circumcision, & other weird tendencies. Washing your butt with water is even older, maybe even ‘no tech’. Regardless, you owe yourself to install some option for yourself. 😀
Yeah, I like the idea, but don't you still use toilet paper first? I thought this was used afterwards to make sure everything was clean.
It’s hot as balls & sweaty here so I don’t really see the point most of the time
