Lightweight Soap - New Wrinkle on Backcountry Hygiene

Jump to Comments

My wife, Gerry, always keeps an eye out for new ultralight and lightweight backpacking gear and accessories.

Her latest find: Paper Soap For Clean Up On The Go, a .5 ounce container with 50 sheets of soap. There is also paper shampoo.

You pull out a sheet, add a tiny bit of water and you’ve got soap or shampoo.

Of course, you can get a tiny plastic bottle and add a small amount of liquid soap. But paper soap is a lot less messy.

Be light. Be safe. Be clean. Be one with the pack.
