Shit happens...right?
What is the worst thing you have wiped with?
I had to sacrifice my NEW $30 Nike hat yesterday.

What a waste of a hat, if you squat right or pull your cheeks apart you wont even get dirty.
If you do make a mess, use leaves. Why would you kill the hat?
No leaves in the desert.

What about a cactus?
That way you won't have to worry about any stray chunks.
Plenty of smooth rocks in the desert. That's actually my emergency outdoor wiping implement of choice now. Don't have to worry about poking through a leaf or anything like that, and you'd be surprised at how effective it is. I was traveling last summer and got hit with a bad case of the runs one evening on the campus of UC-San Bernardino. Just as I finished up, the sprinklers came on. Needless to say, I made it back to the hotel dripping wet but clean as a whistle.

Next time take 6 $Lincoln$ with you and wipe with them. You could have used your fingers like they do in India and just scrubbed them with sand. It's just S H I T!!!
I used the curtains at a gas station restroom once. Worked great. Finished up a fast 12 miler with no issues
pfffft ive used all manner of things..
leaves
bark
dirty hanky that had been lying on the side of path for years
a workmans chucked away sandwhich rapping paper bag.
plastic bag
and since ive been getting this more lately usually all i do is just spread wide an dont bother to wipe..
fix that when i get home.
I look for a paper product lying by the side of the road - newspaper, cup, whatever.
However, I've smartened up a bit. I now crap before every run. If the crap happens to be loose, diarrhea-type, I'll bring some toilet paper with me. Fold it up in my pocket or tie it within the drawstrings of my shorts.
I recently moved to AZ. I run on irrigation paths next to cotton fields. All over the place their are small piles of packed cotton. I now prefer to duce in the field. Charmin cant beat it.
