Heyo. I'm self taught when it come to back country camping and one thing I have yet to fully feel comfortable with is managing my period. I've always just used applicator-less tampons and thrown the used ones in a ziplock bag for later disposal (this goes…

I like to be prepared on hiking and camping trips with emergency power backup (enough to make a phone call if needed) and was wondering if hand crank generators were a good option.…
I've got 2-3 weeks for a backpacking trip with my 9 year old dog in late August/early September. We're both experienced backpackers (hiked the Colorado Trail and Long Trail together) but he's got some arthritis in his hips so we're keeping mileage low…
