I'd originally spent quite a bit of time getting the toilet paper recalculation right after Sandi's adjustments back in January.
Anyway, Sandi has changed her mind again after using the Quilton 3 Ply for a while – and not enjoying it at all on our hikes.

I can't remember which hike I used for the original 1-ply measurement, but it was a short 3-4 day walk, where we weighed lots of our re-supply essentials in and out at the end of the walk: Toilet Paper, Sunscreen, Insect Repellant, etc. We've used that rate for all our recent walks.
The Quilton rate was based on Six Foot Track test.
The Deco rate was determined on two recent walks.
Summary
The most recent rate is up a little, which surprised me. In the end, I'm pretty sure that toilet paper is not going to be too much of an issue, considering the number of towns we're passing through.
My guess is that we'll be leaving some behind in our food drops, or in the penultimate huts if they're missing toilet paper.
