A Bush Cloth is reusable toilet paper for drying off after peeing in the backcountry. The front is a soft suede cloth which is used to pat yourself dry. The back is a waterproof layer with a cool pattern to keep your hands dry and clean.
Why use one?
In the back country most of us carry toilet paper for use in long drops and try to shake it off, or drip dry when we stop to pee on the side of the trail. The “shake it off” method works great if you are only out for a day trip, but on longer tramps this becomes a hygiene issue. Using a Bush Cloth is a great way to keep yourself clean and cut back on toilet paper usage.

HOW TO USE:
Pee as per your usual method. Pat yourself dry using the soft suede cloth side of the Bush Cloth (hold onto the waterproof side to keep your hands clean). Then hang the Bush Cloth from your pack so that it can evaporate dry.
HOW TO WASH:
On a multiday trip we recommend you rinse the cloth out every evening (just water is fine) and hang it out to dry. Once you get home you can throw it in the washing machine with the rest of your gear (cold wash, line dry).
MULTI-USE:
There are plenty of alternative uses for a clean cloth. Feel free to also use it as a washcloth, pot scrubber, sweat rag, handkerchief or anything else you can think of
