Tech Tip

Ensure that the excellent care for your pearly whites extends to the environment on your big adventure. 

Toothbrushing should be done at least 200 feet from both the water source and camp, using roughly a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. When disposing of toothpaste, take a big swig of water to dilute it, then broadcast (or spray) it in a horizontal arc - tell the kids to spray it in the shape of a rainbow. It's kind of fun! 

Save the Date
This year you can bid on new and used gear. Clean out your garage and  help Leave No Trace by listing your used gear on eBay's Giving Works, with proceeds benefitting the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. Check your email next month for more information.
