With the Great Toilet Paper Panic of 2020 underway, we took to the woods in search of the ever-elusive tissue roll in the wild.
With the vast majority of TP in circulation in North America hailing from domesticated herds, rolls loose on the range are typically eschewed by the average consumer as they have a perhaps unjust reputation of being “gamey.” However, for those in the know, experiencing freshly harvested wild-caught TP rolls can be life-changing.
They are a bit tricky to find sometimes, so here are few tips.
Due to their size, wild TP often stick to tight trails through the trees (All photos: Chris Eger/Guns.com)
Camo is essential when stalking TP, as their eyesight is amazingly sharp and they can spot the inexperienced hunter from miles away
Not ground burrowers by any means, TP can sometimes be found bedded down in depressions…
…and other hides
They can sometimes be caught in the open, passing along log bridges and roots over obstacles.
Keep in mind they can often be found on ridgelines as well
Caught at the watering hole.
While typically ground-bound, under the right circumstances TP can be found taking to the trees
Spotted!
As with most woodland creatures, you can see the young does of the species take to the larger and more Alpha bucks during the rut
Don’t worry, no TP was harmed in the making of this post. We love our tissue here at Guns.com. At this point, this could be my 401K

Since you came this far and still apparently can’t get enough of this stuff, here are some more TP-related videos that have recently popped up on the gun tubes.
22Plinkster tests out the rolls against CCI Stangers (not a misprint) and 5.7x28mm.
Edwin Sarkissian taps in a Glock 19 in 9mm
And the Gould Brothers bring out the 12 gauge to cover the bases.
Finally, in an honorable mention, the VSO Channel runs a test for purely educational purposes on how long you can use a TP roll as a suppressor cover before the flame sets in.
