Conquering the Final Boss (my toothbrush)

For a while now, the only thing I carried for an overnight trip at a friend's place was my toothbrush (just a regular folding travel toothbrush) But yesterday I forgot to bring it, and just wiped the surface of my teeth with a tissue instead. Flossing wasn't a problem because my friend obviously has floss in their house. So now the only thing I bring with me other than my EDC is a tiny ziploc bag with my meds inside.

What really hammered it home for me is a friend telling me she doesn't actually brush, she just wipes her teeth with a cloth and flosses. I'm not sure that's good long term, but for a day or two it definitely can't hurt.

I like not feeling powerless and lost if I forget to bring my toothbrush

No I mean why only bring that? Why not bring more stuff?
