This is our hygiene system while backpacking.

The way she said "me neither" was golden! 😂 y'all are hilarious and I love it!

[addison]

the fact that i just went through their channel and didn’t realize they’re wearing the same outfit til now😭😭

[samajama]

I’m glad you mentioned periods because that’s a big one for woman! Thank you 🙂

[chany]

I would get pneumonia and an uti on the 2nd day. This is amazing

[bigmoose]

I really respect your transparency on how a hike really goes over time. Love you guys

I get that hygiene becomes quite primitive when out in the wild but I'd be so uncomfortable using sunscreen and not being able to wash it off, I hate the feel of it lol

People don’t realize that you can chase money your whole life but never experience what these two have seen. I wish I could go back and work in the Tetons 😢

Ahh. Now this is the life. I loved living outside for months on end. Best. Feeling. Ever. So free. My favorite is how quickly the social norms go out the window. You realize how pointless they are. You tap into your more primal self. It is the best. I lived this way before cell phones were normal in every hand. Even the mail couldn’t reach me, and I remember absolutely loving that. Have fun!

As a dental hygienist, I'm glad you understand the importance of brushing your teeth daily. I agree you can skip showers, but never your oral health. Looks like y'all are living the good life!

It’s not the life for me but it’s fascinating to see. Also in a zombie apocalypse they would probably out survive us all.

Norovirus is not killed by hand sanitizer, so you MUST use soap and wash those hands! It’s been known to spread through hiking groups trying to save space/weight by not bringing soap.

Her: "Me neither"
Me a depressed person: "Me neither"

When my wife and I spent a few weeks on the CDT we'd send a luxury box with town cloths, shampoo, shaving supplies ect, from town to town. Worked amazing. Love you guy's content and living vicariously through your adventures. Peace, strength, love and many many blessings 🌈

I can't imagine not brushing my hair for a month. I have curly hair and if I don't brush it for 2 days it gets 10000 knots. I admire them so much and hope one day I can't meet someone to do this with ❤

[tieganbrunton]

Didn’t think about scented toiletries attracting wildlife, even sun cream etc such good info to know!

So interesting! But it's a mistake not to bring a towel, that's the most essential part! A towel is just about the most massively useful thing an hiker can carry. Partly because it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it around your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bear; you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

I have so much respect for these hikers. I could never. They are probably so healthy their BO is fragrant.
