What to do when you have your period in the backcountry?

Question

I am going to be working out there for about 6 weeks, so I really don't have a choice when to go or when it will visit me...

Answer 1

Thank whatever God you worship that you're not pregnant...

Answer 2

Actually - it is not a particularly good idea to be in the back country at that time - the odor is quite attractive to some wild creatures that you would not want to have come and visit.

If you are out there - you should be using internal protection and bury used product.

Answer 3

Um....always be prepared.

Bring what you need, even if you arem't due.

Stuff happens!

Answer 4

On trips I always went prepared. I would count the days from the date I started so I would know.  When you come to a place like where you are, you will have to improvise the best you can. An extra T-shirt that you can tear into strips? Toilet paper? Wash cloths? What ever is handy that you can use. Also, even if you are prepared, and there is no place for used items, just dig a deep hole  for disposal and cover with rocks.
