I watched the first version but it wouldn't let me comment. I didn't notice a difference between the two. Wear the whistle and a small flashlight on a necklace. Emergency gear has to be handy. I used to give my Boy Scouts the 5 in 1 emergency whistles that have a hollow body for storing matches, a candle, safety pins, and a string. They are on a string necklace and a key ring flashlight will hook onto the necklace. I have to use O'Keefe's Working Hands too. Good Luck, Rick
Very comprehensive list. Did you mention sun screen, mosquito 🦟 repellent? Also have noticed a few hikers mentioned carrying a bidet to avoid packing 🧻. Wonder if you have any thoughts on that as an experienced hiker ?
Hi Tom, sunscreen’s included in there, yes. Good catch on the bug spray! I’ll definitely need it but not right away, so I’ll just pick it up along the way. Should’ve included it! I have not tried a bidet. I don’t think it’s an option in the cold, but I can see the pros once it warms up. I know some people swear by them.
Good question. There’s a lot of different options. Have you seen Dixie’s video on hygiene? She does a good job of covering it at around 19:45 th-cam.com/video/3oSXJJghlGk/w-d-xo.html
Great video, thanks for sharing!

Learning a lot from you. Thanks!
Haha, I really like the neck holder for the privy bag. I just may steal that idea some day.
I have to admit, I half checked out at "p-style". Rest of the way was great. Thanks for sharing and Happy Trails!
Maybe I shouldn’t have started out with that one. 😆 Live and learn!

1 wipe a night? You’re good. I go through at least two. Got to clean my toesies.
It is a stretch 😆
What about feminine hygiene products?
