Plenty of "Wooly lambs ear" round here 

[hbunnet]

Damp Sphagnum Moss, perhaps they don't have it in the new world.

I see Old Man's Beard comes in at #4.
That's fine, but Wowbagger isn't always on all rides.

Or dock leaves.

Goose necks.

You made me laugh, first time for some days, thank you

In the absence of accessible (without contaminating things) water or a well-behaved digestive tract, you'll have to prise my emergency bogroll out of my clammy, shaking hands.   

Also, while I commend the general principle, I have a bad track record for being allergic to Nature, and don't trust myself to identify species of Random Green Stuff correctly.  That's not going to end well.

"ORKNEY TOURIST BREAKS NECK TRYING TO WIPE BOTTOM"

They didn't mention using nettles (yeah, I know but they have poison ivy on the list).

Dock leaves - good for starting with.

The bit about washing is important. I've been on too many school camping trips where the kids simply don't wash hands, let alone anything else. A mate (ex Army, used to run major army campsites) showed the best way to set this up; a washing up bowl outside each toilet area, soap and shake-dry hands. Then nag people to wash hands.

They can prise my TP from my cold, dead hands. Aussies all know the danger of gympie gympie leaves but some tourists think the leaves are suitable for wiping.

Thanks, Basil. I was about to eat my breakfast. No HP sauce for me...

Poo sticks.   Apparently they shared them too.   

[Aushiker]

Thanks for sharing. Great find!

There's a whole book about this. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/77377.How_to_Shit_in_the_Woods
As it points out somewhere, you don't necessarily need to wipe at all. Depending on consistency, of course (and hairiness of arse).

Those of us without a penis will need to blot away urine.
You can take my pocket pack tissues from my cold dead hands...
