Ha, thanks.

Thanks for sharing this demonstration. Excellent info, especially the need to hand wash with soap as hand sanitizer does not work for Norovirus. I’m 71 but I still want to be you when I grow up 🤣

I absolutely love you. You are hysterical. I love your videos they are so real. They are so informative.

Maybe check yourselfs for ticks ?? Headaches is a sign or symptom of a tick bite . Couldn’t hurt! Especially being out in the woods. I’d rather be safe than sorry. I hope he gets to feeling better soon.

I just want to say thank you for the information about the camping bidet. Yeah, some people might be grossed out, but hey....poop happens. I'm going to order one for my emergency go-bag actually. Anyway...Thank you! 🌞

I mean, this is very useful information for us aspiring future Appalachian Trail thru hikers….🙃

I had watched other videos about using the bidet but no one mentioned the hand part, seems like an important part to include! Thanks for your thorough demonstration, it was really helpful in helping me to decide about whether I want to use the bidet.

There might be a cleaner way, but have not found one. Water alone will not do the job. You are welcome.

Thanks...the bidet attachment is a neat device...but I will NOT be wiping my ass with my bare hand. I'd have Largo check himself for ticks or suspicious looking bite sites. Regarding the Ticks and Lyme risk...Permethrin is your friend. I regularly treat my hiking clothes with Sawyer Permethrin and am rarely bothered by ticks in the backcountry. You can also treat your hiking shoes and backpack. gaiters, etc. Sprayed on EXTERNAL clothing and material surfaces only...not on internal clothing surfaces that wear next to the body. The treatment is good for up to 6 clothes washes or 6 weeks of time...then need to retreat. I prefer the pump spray to the aerosol can.

We do tick checks and Permethrin! We know ticks are very serious. Thanks for the reminder

Bidets are not only useful on the trail, but bidet toilets are the bomb. Been using them for 6 years now. The thought of TP to clean up is gross.

gets you so clean. Like a mini shower.

You probably haven’t had time to watch Chica & Sunsets videos on the PCT but poor Chica was holding on to a tree when she went to potty & it broke because it was dead. She fell into a cactus so Sunset had to pick thorns out of her butt. Somebody said it was a good thing she already had a trail name or else she would be known as Thorn Butt. 😆

Kudos to you, Sunshine, for this video about pooping. I'm dead serious when I say if you had titled this video "How I Poop on the AT" you would get thousands of views! Hope you feel better soon, Captain, and too bad they don't make Twizzler Protein Bars! ha

Ohh holy god No Jessica, i took toilet roll with me. Had my shower in Albrgo.

I was JUST talking to my friend and we were discussing the 1 thing we each have that makes us hesitate to backpack, and for me, it was pooping! I don’t think the bidet method would be for me, but now I know that. For thank you for the details!! ❤ I hope Captain is feeling better!

SO TRUE! It is a concern of EVERYONE, well, women, not sure about men.

I think I will have to completely remove my pants and shoes and everything to use the bidet 😅 I would love to use but I don’t think I can nail it honestly 😩 Thanks for the info though! Love when we can discuss these kind of topics freely. Thank you! Sending love ❤

Love our bidet and miss it when we travel. I will give this a try.

@WorldTowning

Ай бұрын

Please do!

If I need a slow day or a rest day from not feeling well, I'd never consider that a "worst" -- sometimes if that leaves me in a not so great place to sleep, bearing in mind that for me that will likely be in or near a village and not out in the Wilderness, that can be bad, but stopping from needing to stop is a good thing, not a bad one.

Have you tried Skratch Labs? I use their raspberry energy sports chews and raspberry lemon energy bar for my long run and backpacking quick snacks. They have some other flavors too.

Hope you're feeling better captain. ❤

Thanks for the demo of the camping bidet. I have a Tushy bidet at home and I dread travel as I miss my bidet. So I’m thinking of investing in a camping bidet like yours. I hate using toilet paper as I also get chaffed and hate it.

I wonder why you don’t squirt from front to back and wipe from the back. So bottle in front squirting backward. Just wondering 😊

Never thought of it that way, but could give it a try and report back. I suspect water might get everywhere.

I would like to know how you’re filming the stuff that’s from above you guys. I know Captain is holding a controller but I thought you had said that you weren’t allowed to do a drone on the AT, so what is it? Whatever it is, you get excellent footage from it, love the different vantage points!

It's the Insta 360 Camera we carry for that one shot a day because it is soooo cool. It is pretty light weight. Can't drone in the national park

Met RX makes a delicious apple pie flavored meal replacement bar. They have, I think, 20 grams of protein, plus 12 or 13 vitamins and minerals. They are about 100 grams, and they taste great! I highly recommend you try them!🙂

Wow this is definitely a women's thing !! -- And I mean that with no disrespect whatsoever, ZERO, and whatever works for you is always better than whatever doesn't regardless what anyone else might think -- but this does seem to be very anatomy-related. As far as protein is concerned, you really should have included mentions of jerky, cheese, and sausage etc when you can find it. The Kind protein bar -- kind is German for child, so I guess it's a mini one for children.
