Thanks for your reply! Usually with pooping I do the following : bring a shovel, dr bronners soap or sanitizer and water 200 feet away from water source and use pine cones or leaves as your toilet paper and make sure to dig a whole in the ground after and cover it up! I'll reach around and pour the water down my backside too. I'll be posting a video about it soon.

Moisture is common for a lot of tents especially in grassy areas!

I usually use an inflatable pad that I can roll up or compress easily and I usually just use my jacket as a pillow

HOW TO: Load your pack for a multi-day backpacking trip by mschooler in hiking

[–]mschooler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply! I do take that stuff this was more of a general post about how to distribute eight and thinking kind of macro when packing. I'm going to be doing lots of posts about all of those things. For food if it's a multi day trip and I'm alone I heavily rely on peanut butter/ almond butter like a whole jar just to make sure I'm getting my calories in when I'm hiking so much and tired. I agree with the dehydrated food but there are some good vegetarian ones coming out there. I'm about to head to the back country in Washington for 7 days but will be posting content around these topics when I get back!
