My toilet roll holder saves my trip.

My toilet roll holder saves my trip.

Your toilet roll is critical. I recently went on an 80 km trek in the Grampian mountains of Victoria. Grade 5 very difficult tracks and trails. It was nothing but rock hopping with a 24 kg backpack. I sweated all day and ate as many carbs as I could and drank as much water as I need it to keep my energy up and my legs working.

Of course every 24 hours or so what you’ve eaten comes to revisit you and when that happens, it usually happens in an emergency. That’s where this toilet roll holder came in as a, no joke, lifesaver. I was able to jam the toilet roll in its holder, complete with it sanitiser, into my backpack every day; and it kept its form, shape and function throughout the whole six days of the trip.

I was able to find it in the dark inside my tent because of the reflective tape around it, and one night I even dropped it and found it again only because of the reflective tape. It was a lifesaver when at 2 am in the morning you needed to use it and you got yourself out of your toasty warm sleeping bag in the freezing cold and you knew as soon as you put your hand on the toilet roll holder in the dark, found by the reflective tape from your headlamp, that you had everything that you needed (hand sanitiser and sanitary towel) to venture out into the darkness in search of the parks and wildlife toilet positioned sometimes up to 100 m away in the pitch dark, mist and wind of the Grampian mountains. This little gem was a total game changer for my personal comfort, I can assure you, as it enabled me to truly enjoy the trip. Just one of life‘s small pleasures that makes a massive difference.
