Hand sanitizer

It’s a bit of a no-brainer, and it’s an integral part of any camping trip. While we’ve recently seen a huge increase in demand for hand sanitizers around the world, it’s finally starting to be widely available in stores around the world again. This clean gel contains a concentration of ethyl alcohol which kills germs (and viruses) on contact, just put a drop in the palm of your hand and rub your hands together, making sure all the cracks in the skin. And the layers should be cleaned along with the fingers. And nails, wait 20 seconds or more for the gel to evaporate and you’re ready to go. Hand sanitizer is essential for any camping trip, especially if using soap and water is not easy or possible. You can also use hand sanitizer to clean dishes.

Soap

If you use soap, use biodegradable soap to protect the environment. When you wash your hands at home, the soap goes down the drain but is usually treated with a municipal facility to make sure that the phosphates and other chemicals in the soap are localized to lakes and rivers. Do not enter the ecosystem. If you use non-biodegradable soaps during camping, you are contaminating the water and your actions may promote the growth of unwanted algae in waterways. Even when using biodegradable soap, Leave No Trace guidelines recommend that you keep it 200 feet away from any water.

Deodorant, perfume, and aftershave

Sweet-smelling beauty and hygiene products can attract insects and, depending on where you live, can also attract bears and other guests who are not welcome to your camp site. Want to say Regular washing in rivers or streams or with baby wipes should be enough to prevent its natural scent from becoming unpleasant.

But take care of others, and do not swim where others are trying to collect water or fish, and again, do not use soap or use only biodegradable soap. If you’re traveling in your 4WD, you may be lucky enough to have a pressurized road shower or a battery-powered shower to cool off at the end of the day, if you find yourself with a large sponge and Can’t clean with a few liters. Of water (and some biodegradable soaps).

Baby wipes can be a great way to cool down if your water supply is limited, but if you choose to use baby wipes or baby wipes, it is important that you cover and dispose of them well. Keep them with you. They are not biodegradable and can be very harmful to nature.

You should try to change your clothes every night, especially if you are sweating during the day. If you do not change on arrival at camp, you should try to change into a clean, dry cloth before entering your sleeping bag, which will help keep your sleeping bag clean (sleeping bag liner too). This is a good way to keep your bag clean (clean and easy to keep clean with sleeping bags).

If you are on a multi-day trip with a limited supply of clothes, wrap your clothes, try washing clothes every other day (with biodegradable soap) so that you always have a supply of clean clothes.

How to use the bathroom

The most luxurious solution is to bring a camping toilet, these toilets can be light and clean, they are mainly used for camper vans, motor homes and overland motor homes. The next time you arrive at a suitable facility in the campground properly. Other ways to do this include burying your waste or packing it with you. Learn more at Leave no Trace.

During trips to the countryside (or to the sea), the tent on the roof turns into a thin pack, which has a very low profile above the vehicle.

The spacious tent provides a large living space, which can be used as a kitchen, changing room or just an extra room. Integrated floors and fully enclosed walls in the living room ensure that wet floors and inclement weather are avoided. Whether your car is a long SUV or a low convertible, the extension tent comes in a variety of sizes.
