Well, if you enjoy wiping with grass and leaves, go for it. I'd prefer to keep my civility as long as possible.
Toilet paper could also be used to mark a path, write on, blow nose, and pad bleeding. Might be able to be used as make-shift fletching for arrows too.

No, he wanted to know what would be useful to put in his Apocalypse Survival Bag.

Beyond toilet paper, strong, thin cordage (such as twine) is also a very useful item. It can be used to tie things rope would be too bulky for, making a bush bow, serve as bowstring, and can be used as tinder for making a fire if pulled apart.

Hahahahahaha, you know you're friends with Kuno when you cite Exit Mundi. I haven't heard of that site in years, but that brings back a lot of good old-time Kuno UPN memories. I remember Kuno would discuss various things posted on that site all the time. Good times.

.22 Ammo is considered one of the best ammo in a zombie apocalypse scenario simply because it's so light compared to 5.56 rounds. It is equally as common and because of it's extremely small size, it's light weight means you can carry almost double the ammo. The only real problem is the severe lack of stopping power.

Cellphones would be fairly useless in an apocalypse survival scenario. A ham radio is considerably more useful since you can just shift the frequency/amplitude and hope for a local response compared to dialing a number and hoping for your service provider to still be in service. The only part of the cellphone that I would even consider carrying is the battery, which might have some use, like fire ignition with steel wool.

Handkerchief is probably more useful as a butt wipe than bringing toilet paper. Even if you have to find time to wash it, toilet paper is a single use item. Depending on how long you plan to survive, your toilet paper will likely be long gone before you could get anywhere. The handkerchief does everything basic paper would do and isn't going to be destroyed by the rain or a quick dip in some water.

Oh man an Exit Mundi name drop. Representing. That site is/was my bible pretty much. It's a shame they don't update it anymore, some of the statistics are a bit out of date.
