toilet paper alternatives

[@ronsites2694]

Grew up using newspaper, and today that is about all it is good for.

[@edgeofentropy3492]

With all the crap they keep printing, that is a befitting use.

[@gerardbauer4035]

Dog Potty Pads are readily available in most stores and they can be cut into squares and they work great but DO NOT flush them. I've used them several times while camping. My local Family Dollar has had TP so I am not facing that problem ....yet! So far so good :) I don't get a newspaper delivered but if I did I never would have thought of crunching and rolling it to make it soft. This was a great informational video. Your the best Kevin. Keep these videos coming!! Be well and stay healthy.

[@markdmaker3173]

Good advice thanks for the info. Better than using a dry corn cob.

[@Pete.Ty1]

Good old fashion practical advice👍. Same problem here in the UK blocked sewers.

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

That is great information and tips Kevin! I know some people won't admit it but most of us in the south has used it one time or another. You and Mrs stay safe! Thank you for sharing!

[@william38022]

Newspaper and the old Sears and roebuck catalog.

[@garysmith4311]

Keep them coming Kevin , Thanks

[@planecrazyish]

It worked in the past, it will work now! Good job.

[@jarigranroth6873]

Good information, especially that you DO NOT FLUSH anything else but toilet paper and what comes out of you. Why I know? I'm the guy who opens the clogged sewer pipes :(

[@Hatch61]

I’ve always had a bit of prepper in me, so personally I’m good with toilet paper for a couple of years. Growing up, at our family camp, newspaper was used by all. It composted well in the outhouse. Tell Julie it was great info. Be safe, and be well guys.

[@280zone]

I knew this video would be a good one. As always we always learn a lot from you.

[@TheWoodHaven]

My dad was in the military, so we lived on base with indoor plumbing, but whenever we visited the grandparents in Arkansas, they had an outhouse. There was no toilet paper in there, so you either grabbed a page from the yellow pages or a catalog, or you went without.

[@Hale642]

Im just glad you didnt do a demo!! Lol Some folks never had to use newspaper, thankfully i only had to at my grandparents house.

[@Andy-ge3ko]

Good idea

[@peacehavenpointe1454]

Nice informative video on the backside, we didn't know what bought TP was when growing up, our most used was the old Sears Roebuck Catalog, you could hang it on a horizontal string and year off a page as needed. An added plus, you could look at the pictures and increase you want list, even though you knew you wouldn't get anything, GOD AWAYS SUPPLIED OUR NEEDS, not always our wants. Thanks, as always REMEMBER JESUS LOVE'S YOU 🙏🙏🙏

[@neolexington]

I was in Menards the other day and thought of the shop towel idea as well. I don't need TP right now, but it's an idea.

[@william38022]

Good info Kevin👍

[@william38022]

Hey Kevin looks like you’re under a severe weather watch today same as we are here in the Ohio Valley West Virginia Kentucky and a few other states are in the red zone,,,weather could get a bit rough today take care

[@jameymote4598]

Great video..i had to use newspaper when i would visit my aunt when i was a kid the old out house. 👍 👊 😎

[@poopyhead9376]

Awesome newspaper trick!

[@explorer867]

Yes, what is it about TP and people hording it. We're still in good shape as we always have purchased it by the case just like our paper towels. Thank you for the video on using newspaper for TP. Stay safe and healthy

[@williammcguire3rd]

I used that and the old Sears book. Tp was for the rich when I was young!!

[@TomokosEnterprize]

I grew up before the pampers thing. A diaper pail. A 5 gal pail with four gal of water and a good shot of bleach and put the lid on till wash day.No one died from getting a bit of yer own poop on your fingers eh, LOL. Our town posted this all over town. Smart post fella.Big thanks !

[@RubenFletcher]

I've been there!!! Yup, sure have.

[@HillBillyDesigns]

Hey I think that's awesome kevin Just a little food for thought here in calif a lot of people do not get the newspaper anymore they are trying to save trees also its cheaper to read all your daily news on the computer so with that said it is kinda hard to find newspapers here in so calif also Love the video

[@Pyridox]

That's right, my dad told used to tell me that they used news paper in the out house when he was a kid.

[@rickhammar1636]

The value of most reporters.

[@hemansr3893]

If the newspaper is SHINEY, it don't touch the HINEY!!! :>)>

[@jamesveach6918]

You could always use a sprayer as a paday

[@debbiepovlock9819]

Good video. 🙏🏻🤗

[@johnlarch5300]

I grew up using an outhouse and newspaper. Not a problem for me.

[@bentnickel7487]

Red corn cob and a white corn cob. Use the red cob, then use the white cob to see if you need another red cob.

[@russvtguy]

Good video yesterdays common sense still true today

[@w.alan.21]

I'd be concerned about the long-term safety of rubbing that newsprint ink on sensitive skin. I wonder if any studies have been done(?)

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I don't know about long term effects from ink but people get tattoos with ink.

[@jeffruleford4507]

Go to Walmart or a doller store and buy washcloths . Use them then wash them and reuse them .

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the idea Jeff.

[@naveebisrael]

Thenk you kevin b.r. from israel.

[@Sam-qu7jx]

God bless israel brother, from usa

[@mten8965]

We had three rolls left. I took them out to the band saw we ended up with 6. Little smaller but it seems to be working for us 🚾🖒😎

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

Why not just use less squares?

[@debragary9760]

My Mom grew up using a priv and they used newspaper Debra

[@genecarter4444]

yes I use the NEWS Paper . it's good shhhhh it works!!

[@sheilabowers7532]

Good Adverse oh buddy G-man’s out

[@Matt.Jungfleisch]

Newspapers are a great resource. I prefer the politics section. Lots of waste there.

[@johnwessinger7768]

well you could use baby cloth diapers and wash them out like we used to do when our kids were babies. Let the diaper dry and reuse!!! It stinks but it saves money and back then pampers were expensive!! lol

[@hemansr3893]

Flatten the roll before you put it on the roller....less free-wheeling, or better yet, remove roll from roller & unravel as needed!!! You'll use much less. :>)>

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Great tip!

[@bentnickel7487]

Kevin, in response to your question whether you may have had C-19 earlier this year? Ask yourself this question, since the virus is quite contagious, did your wife or kids get sick with same symptoms? Again, my opinion is that with the virus beginning in China and you live hundreds of miles inland from New York and thousands of miles from Washington state, you had a bad case of flu. If you had been camping or visiting in Washington state (the first place it landed) then drove back to your home state, by now you would have been patient zero and would have infected hundreds of people around you. What a burden that would be to bear.

[@johnklenzak1001]

Kevin, we are finding out who knows how to get back to mother nature and who believes that the Easter bunny handles all our needs and wants. My family used an outdoor toilet until about 1983 when the state and counties started really enforcing the use of septic tanks or city water and plumbing. It is a shame that we have to go through this but also fun to see who is aware and who isn't.

[@mcginniscrew88]

Who would be dumb enough to flush anything but toilet tissue?? LORD help us...

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You would be surprised thanks for the comment.

[@w.alan.21]

it would seem like smaller wipes would be OK to flush into a sewer to be removed at the water treatment plant; some people have to use them when having issues down there. But our apt. manager told us it's not OK for the local pipes and they could come back on anyone they found to be doing it.
