Backpacking and bikepacking are really my favorite things to do in this world. One thing that I have loved over the past 30 years of doing this is how much nicer the gear has become. I always say a little discomfort is not a bad thing, that said I also don’t like needless discomfort. A piece of gear I have added to my pack is Venture Wipes for a little clean up at the end of the day.
Now I know you are asking yourself “Joe, are you really reviewing a wipe?” Yes, yes I am. The Venture Wipe is a 12″x12″ biodegradable wipe made with aloe, vitamin E and other natural ingredients. One wipe can clean off your whole body.
Picture this, you’ve hiked all day and are coated in dirt, sweat and sunscreen. You are about to stretch out on your sleeping bag and read before the sun sets, but nature’s patina from a hard day backpacking has you sticking to everything in the tent. Or you could wipe yourself down with a Venture Wipe and feel fresh as a daisy. It really makes you feel like you’ve taken a shower.
You should buy them direct from Venture Wipes as they are about $1/each. You’ll thank me, trust me.
