Personal Hygiene Kit

Personal hygiene kits have been a favorite topic of mine since the early 1980s - that is when I got my contacts. When I would go camping or hiking - it became clear real quick that I needed some kind of kit to keep my contact lens case and wetting solution in. So I got a used make-up bag, cleaned it up and made it into a Personal Hygiene Kit.




Over the past almost 30 years, the kit has grown a little bit, and I have gone through several make-up bags.

Contents include:
contact lens case
wetting and cleaning solution
personal sized shampoo
personal sized soap
comb
tooth brush and tooth paste
and maybe a razor for shaving

Berkey light overview

Water storage - filtration - purification is where a lot of people seem to be lacking in their disaster prepardness plans. This is where something like a Berkey water filter can come into play.

The Berkey water filter in this video was supplied by Red Barn Workshop - who has a wide selection of hiking, camping and disaster preparedness supplies.

Each filter has an estimated life of around 3,000 gallons. With 2 filters, the Berkey Light has an estimated life of around 6,000 gallons. Either way - 3,000 or 6,000 gallons, that is a lot of water.
