I think that disposable compressed towels are a must have for every prepper. When we go through temporary transformational change in how we life, aka when the STHF, so many of our conveniences we don’t even think about will be gone. One of those is the use of towels. Sure you will hopefully have some clean towels in a bathroom closet, and those will get you by for a few days. After that, you are kind of up the creek as they say.
Even if you have done a great job making preparations with water supplies, you won’t know how long you will have to survive for, and you won’t want to use your precious water resources to wash towels. You might have stackable water containers or a big drum outside that you’ve been collecting rainwater in. You would much rather bathe with it than wash towels, and that’s after you consider how much you’ll need to drink to stay hydrated.
There is a great solution though. Disposable compressed towels. You can stock up on a whole bunch of them too. This is another item that fascinates me with how compressed it is and how small of a package it fits into. These are a great item for your bug out bag, actually a must have item in your bug out bag if you ask me. It has the trifecta of bug out bag qualities — reasonably priced, compact and doesn’t take up much space, and weighs next to nothing. The thing is, these are just as valuable to you if you’re weathering the storm from home as they are if you’re bugging out.
