PERSONAL HYGIENE

Everything becomes less efficient and productive when dirty or soiled—including the human body. Not only is personal hygiene important to prevent the spread of disease and infections, but it also impacts morale. Keeping your spirits high and maintaining a semi-sense of normality is very important. When survival is 90 percent mental, anything you can do to boost your morale goes a long way. This starts with packing items in your BOB to maintain personal hygiene.

BOB PERSONAL HYGIENE PACK ITEMS

Create a mini-hygiene kit within your BOB to keep these items together and easy to find.

All-Purpose Bar of Soap or Packaged Soap Sheets

Soap is the recommended cleaning agent for open wounds until you can access medical treatment. You can obviously also use soap to bathe and wash other items, such as clothing and cooking utensils. Dirt and body oils can clog the breathable fibers of your clothing, reducing its insulating properties. Washing soiled garments keeps them functioning at peak performance. My BOB hygiene kit includes a hotel-size bar of soap in a resealable bag. There’s no way you would use up this much soap in a 72-hour time frame.
