Half of thru-hikers get norovirus every year. Most beginners have no idea how to poop in the woods. Nobody teaches menstrual pack-out, foot rituals, or group hand-hygiene rules. AI builds your full outdoor hygiene playbook — gear list, bathroom protocol, illness prevention, terrain adaptations.
Blisters, trench foot, fungus. All preventable with a 5-minute ritual outdoor pros do without thinking. But nobody teaches it, and most people learn the hard way.
One weak moment with hand hygiene, one shared water bottle, one un-washed spoon — and the entire group goes down. It happens on the AT, PCT, CDT every single season.
Cat hole depth, distance from water, tool, position, TP management, cleanup. It's a real skill. Getting it wrong means you contaminate water sources — or yourself.
Outdoor culture has historically ignored menstrual hygiene. But half of hikers menstruate, and pack-out protocols exist — you just have to know them. This tool treats it as the normal trip-planning topic it is.
