Schalk CronjéFRC gear review 2: CuloClean
I write about the backcountry bidet system I was going to take on the FRC.

The TL;DR is it works well even in water-deprived conditions. The fact that one no longer has to deal with smelly & shit-smeared toiletpaper is the big win.
In our group I number of people got converted, however I do see quite some resistance to this in the greater hiking population with arguments including
- I burn my toiletpaper
- I don't want to carry extra water in a bottle.
Burning toiletpaper in the desert, might not cause disaster, but carrying that habit over to forests or savannah/grass plains are inviting environmental disasters.
If I have to filter water for drinking anyway, I can just as well dual-purpose the bottle by screwing on a small water filter when needed & really handy when carrying a bladder and I just want to replace electrolytes by mixing a drink in my mug.

Attached: 1 image The call of nature... The FRC is a delicate ecosystem. We want to leave as little behind as we can.This inspired us to take a CuloClean this time. ( @[email protected] has one in his lic the other day too - https://mas.to/@freeder23/112021670373932860). Also taking the Deuce trowel along. Not sure about the hand sanitizer though. Wet wipes might be lighter, but needs to be carried out. WDYT? Everything goes in this waterproof multi-compartment Culo bag. It has a small bag for carrying out your dirty paper. - http://www.thetentlab.com/Deuce/DeuceofSpadespage.html - https://culoclean.com/ #frc2024 #whatsinyourpack #howtoshitinthedesert #hiking #drakensberg
