In this video I take you through my entire hygiene routine from the time I wake up until I go to sleep so hopefully any questions you have about hygiene on the PCT will be answered!

Location: New Mexico Backcountry, 36.2458 -106.6841
Since I had to cut short a recent backpacking trip due to an emergency at home, I won't be able to produce a new video for this Wednesday. But I thought it'd be cool to post some of my favorite animal/nature encounters from my thru-hikes this week so they can exist as their own clips rather than in the middle of longer videos. For one, there are probably quite a few subscribers who haven't seen them all, and two, I kind of want to make it easier for myself to find them, too!
In this clip I was thru-hiking the Continental Divide Trail through New Mexico, and while I was walking and talking on the phone a young cougar was lying down on the trail right in front of me. It popped up and I hung up as fast as I could and started recording. The sound you hear at 00:42 is a harmonica I'd been carrying in my shoulder pocket. I thought if I made a sound it'd never heard before it would opt out of attacking me. I guess it worked?
