Also carry LOTS of toilet paper and little soap papers with you.
^ Tip top advice. I always carry a full roll of toilet paper with me when in the ME, in addition to 2-3 packets of tissue paper. Out in the boonies, I'd rather take a dump alfresco rather than the public loos which generally remind me of the toilet in Trainspotting.
