There are few little things in life more annoying that blister packs.

A pox on them. Some blister packs are so hard to open! The best way is often with abox cutternuclear warhead.

I remember when Coles and Woolies first started selling house brand lithium AA batteries. I bought a pack of each to test in the field. Woolies were in a plastic and card pack just like the Energisers. Coles were in a blister pack that took five minutes, a Swiss Army knife and two bandaids to open.
Stuck with the Woolies ones ever since.

Stepped in some once in the middle of a campground on the blue mountains. $#@! Anytime my female friends invite themselves to walk with me they get presented with a sandwich bag 'in case they forgot to bring along one themselves" for their rubbish. Totally passive aggressive of me but totally don't care.

I am a female and when I'm out hiking and I gotta go, I always take my used wipes/TP home with me.
Solid doo gets buried as best as I can in a cat hole off-track given the ground conditions, and then the wiper/TP is quickly and hygienically bagged in a freezer bag in my pocket which is specifically for "that" and then it gets chucked into the wheelie bin or burnt.
It is the same as picking up after your dog, come prepared and don't leave anything behind-there you go, that's my opinion on this.
Women who just wipe and toss are bush buggers or germs in my eyes as well.
