I’m mostly a day-hiker. I’d rather hike farther than carry more.

I’m slowly Passage-hiking the Arizona Trail, and there are stretches where overnights will be unavoidable.

I’m not going to cut down my toothbrush, but I do want to carry as little as possible.

I hear positive things about backpacking bidets, but the concept seems (to put it delicately) “optimistic” to me.

I may attempt the “try it afterwards in your shower at home” advice I’ve seen elsewhere, but that seems…gross.

Am I missing something, or is my risk tolerance misaligned with the reality of roughing it?

    Solves both itchy ass syndrome and reduces the risk of running out of shit tickets when you don’t have a resupply. I’m not for the branded stuff but a typical lab grade gooseneck squirter can do the job just fine.

    If its only a 48 or 72 hour trip, very little chance of running out.
