I will walk you through my entire wash kit today.

I'm just addressing the little question of hand sanitizer or wet wipes.

I'm not sure I'll have a video is controversial.

Is this?

I expect to take some heat from some of you guys.

Let the timer begin.

Okay.

Cleanliness is next to godliness.

Isn't that what they say or let me say it differently?

Having everything come out of both ends while you walk for miles on end as well.

Not fun for you or anyone walking in your footsteps.

Let me start with an important statement.

Neither hand sanitizer nor wet wipes are good enough.

The research has shown that both lose their effectiveness when your hands are grimy.

And I don't need to tell you what Backpackers hands could look like.

Um, the alcohol in the jail, whether we're talking about this or this just isn't nearly strong enough to break down grime or the germs in the grime.

The alcohol is only strong enough to kill the germs in the natural skin.

Oils on the surface of your hands.

That's not my opinion.

That's actual fact.

I looked it up.

So the bigger point here is that you should always bring a little soap and something to scrub your your hands with, like your bandanna.

I try to make a habit of scrubbing my hands before I eat at night.

I'd be lying if I said I did it more frequently than that.

So was Soap as the primary point, Let me say that I highly recommend hand sanitizer over wet wipes, and here is why it's smaller.

It's the lighter.

It doesn't evaporate and dry out.

It's better for the environment as you generate no trash and last but not least, wipes come with odor and mess.

Most people take these little packs with them.

These seals do not work well enough to keep the sent out original lemons s or whatever you bring.

The odor does get out, and it's very noticeable.

And with odor comes the risk of attracting critters.

These packs are seemed to leach out the alcohol of moisture.

Doesn't matter what you do.

Get some to your backpack materials or wherever you keep them.

Sure, you can place them in a plastic bag, but we all know that plastic bags aren't impervious, either.

So carrying announced Harry announce of soap and an ounce of hand sanitizer and you'll be set Time's up.

I hope I gave you something to think about.
