Wiping your Ass In Winter.

I used to dread the moment pressure would, out of the blue, build up and I was surrounded by snow in minus thirty degrees Celsius. Not only did I have to fumble with my rear suspenders' loop straps, but I knew my hand was going to get cold, wet, probably somewhat dirty, and eventually frozen, and water was going to drip down my leg when I was done. This was the realty of wiping my butt with just snow or only a little better—snowy moss.

I was lucky to find a patch of moss after doing a short search in my environment. Then it occurred to me—why do I have to use snow or just moss (something I may reach for in the summer)? I started using anything but. The point is to relocate the filth that is lingering after a squat, and this can be anything from the use of the surface of an appropriate broken dead standing tree or stick to some bunched dead tall grass, used in a sweeping motion. 

If I’m lucky, I may locate a blowover with dry moss, but some dry moss tends to break apparat and leave things dirtier. 

You don’t rub really hard as you would with TP; just make sure the filth is leaving, repeat, and pull those trousers back up.

These days, the branch I found is such a prime choice; I use it even in the summer.
