    Great video. I'd amend this with, "pack out all your paper, regardless if it is biodegradable." I've seen way too much paper that has been dug up by animals or in too-shallow holes. Might also be good to help people understand how much paper to use and how to use it. I can usually get by with 4-8 squares each use. Use less, then you can pack out less (or leave less, if you must).

    Justin, yours is the best outdoors advice channel. You discuss everything, cover it so well, and most importantly can clearly be trusted. I'm trying to take my hiking and camping up a few levels and my kit upgrade list is populated with items based on your recommendations. Also paying close attention to your guidance and experience. Thank you for all this excellent work.

    Whoa Justin that smoke is CRAZY! I hope the fires don't delay your trip or cause you lung damage while you're out there. We've got a lot of fires in Ontario as well and the smoke is blowing nearly 2000km down to Toronto. It's not good. I'm going out for a 5 day trip this weekend and taking eye drops and throat spray with me because of smoke. Be safe! Happy trails 😊

    Two great sanitation items I keep in my kit: dehydrated towel tabs. They weigh next to nothing and they work well. Just add water! Second, I keep a couple of dog poop bags in my poop kit to put my trash in. It's nice because, well, you can't see whats inside them. Oh and regarding the bidet, get something like HydraPak softflask that is easier to squeeze than a typical water bottle.

    Great content Justin! I still feel the TP is “old school” and necessitates bringing a bulky item that needs to be packed out or buried and puts your hand in much more fecal contaminated areas than using a travel bidet. And as an added bonus you get a bath as well. A much more elegant solution in IMHO, and worst case it would need a few sheets of TP or a towelette, or half of a lightload towel. Pun not intended! LNT for life! Thank you!

    Everyone should have a bidet on their home toilet as well! A decent one is less than $100 and can be installed by anyone who knows how to use a screw driver.

  • @BackcountryForward

    I gave up on the bidet after one use. I had to use just as much TP to dry off as I would have had to to wipe down. Plus I use a wet paper towel tab to tidy things up afterwards. But that soap has been a game changer! I’ve used it for clothes, hands, face, I have yet to use it on my poopy butt though. Where’d you get that little tube you have it in?

    Funny, the Swedish cloth looks just like a German Schwammtuch we use in the kitchen, cut in half. I use tent tabs even at home. So much less water that needs to be shipped around. You talk about soap not getting Directly to the water, thanks for addressing that. One more thing that people always do hiking and no one talkes about the the even worse trace than soap is the use of permethrin. Would be great if you could make a video about it

    Packing out everything is definitely always the best but burying deeply in a cathole is still a generally accepted method and endorsed by LNT.org. These days, people are discouraged from burning their TP due to the potential for starting forest fires.
