I neglected to wash my backpack the last couple seasons and my 2p tent could use a wash. Zippers are feeling a little gritty.
I’ve seen some suggestions like baby shampoo, but the only stuff at the store was scented. Anyone use unscented castile soap?
I’ve never found the need for dedicated sleep layers, if it’s cold i’ll layer on my windpants and fleece.
sounds reasonable re: zipper care, zippers are always the first thing to go; i’ve tried to minimize them in my kit but haven’t eliminated them yet, still have 2 left.
The sleep layers are just my base layers, but the help keep the funk (oil, sweat, sunscreen, etc) out of the quilt. I’m just adamant about wearing them. If I get too warm, I open the quilt up.
