Ok, so I might be *slightly* biased 😂😂 but I feel pretty honored to see Kula Cloth on your list ❤️ AND I have to thank you for introducing me to the LMNT electrolytes. I’ve been drinking them for years now and the mint chocolate is my ‘go to’ hot drink for backpacking trips.
Anastasia! I will NEVER STOP singing the praises of Kula Cloth. I gift them to everyone who hikes with a vulva. I have one stashed in every hiking pack I own. Y'all have built something amazing, and I'm so happy to have been "in the know" for as long as I have been. XO
I just hosted two PCT hikers in SLT and they LOVE their Kula cloths!! That’s how I learned about them...they introduced me to them for my hikes here in Tahoe!! Apparently most PCT ladies use them 😊
Sorry to ask here Mellisa but I am a new subscriber and I can’t seem to find the place where I can ask a question that might be used in a future article? Many thanks, Claire
This list is perfect. It’s always better to be a little over prepared than under prepared and you never know when someone else out there (or with you) might need a few of these items.
The ONLY thing I would add would be a Pact Outdoors Bathroom Lite Kit for those times when nature calls and it’s solid rather than liquid. Especially great for backpacking, long day hikes, or early morning alpine starts when you leave before you normally need “to go”.
Ooh, I haven't heard of that! I'm laughing because I am VERY regular and there are times when I'm just standing around the kitchen at 6:25 AM and Brandon is like, "Are you leaving?" and I'm like, "I'm just waiting three more minutes for my morning poop." :)
It's like you're channeling my dad. :) I'm glad you had a trail angel, and I also think it's just better safe than sorry with some of these small things.
