A Pee Rag for Outside Girls – Bearfoot Principle

Again in 2014, I spent 22 days mountain climbing the John Muir Path. Previous to that, the longest backpacking journey I had been on was 5 days, so there was loads I didn’t know.

A kind of issues was realizing the way to cope with peeing and wiping on the path. Utilizing rest room paper and packing it out was not a very good possibility since I’d have to hold a ridiculous quantity of TP for 22 days. So it appeared the one sensible factor to do was to drip dry.

Now let me be actual. Drip drying for 22 days and not using a correct bathe left me feeling completely disgusting down there. What was I considering?!?

A couple of years later I used to be backpacking in Alaska and my backpacking information taught me the trick of utilizing a small quick-dry washcloth or bandana to wipe after peeing. It was a sport changer in comparison with drip drying or coping with packing out rest room paper, however this methodology nonetheless had some limitations. I didn’t like touching that washcloth with my arms, and after one use the rag felt fairly soiled.

Shortly after that have, I found the Kula Fabric, which solved each single one in every of my backcountry peeing woes. The Kula Fabric is a reusable pee material with a clear and soiled aspect that attaches to the skin of your backpack. It’s product of an ultra-absorbant, anti-microbial materials, and you may rinse it off within the backcountry or throw it within the washer if you get house.

It’s develop into one in every of my most beloved items of drugs for sustaining my hygiene on the path, and even on day hikes, I all the time be sure to throw one in my pack. So on this publish I’ll share what it’s, the way to use it and why I adore it a lot.

And for these of you girls who’re satisfied, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve collaborated with Kula to create a customized Bearfoot Principle x Kula Fabric. It incorporates a cosmic mountain scene with a bear (in fact) chilling by the water, and I like the way it turned out!
