Water storage, filters, wash stations, trash control, toilet options, and cleanup supplies for undeveloped sites.
Start with water math, not optimism
Dry camping water has to cover drinking, cooking, dishes, handwashing, hygiene, pets, emergencies, and sometimes radiator or cleanup problems. Rigid water containers are durable for camp, collapsible containers save space when empty, and a gravity water filter or purification tablets add options when a legal natural source is nearby.
Separate clean water from gray water tools. A water container with spigot, collapsible wash basin, dish basin, and dedicated handwashing station can keep camp sanitary without wasting drinking water.
Waste choices depend on the land rules
A portable toilet, WAG bags, trash bags, zip bags for used paper, and odor-resistant storage may be needed where toilets are absent or catholes are not allowed. Check local rules before relying on burial. Pack out trash, wipes, hygiene products, food scraps, and anything the site cannot responsibly absorb.
heavy-duty trash bags and a sealable trash container matter in heat, wind, wildlife country, and long drives to the next dumpster. Keep trash away from sleeping areas and never burn plastic or food packaging.
Leave-No-Trace is a gear system too
Choose already-disturbed sites, keep distance from water, avoid creating new vehicle tracks, and use a fire pan or existing fire ring only where fires are allowed. A folding shovel, fire pan, water bucket, and gloves support better decisions, but current restrictions control what is allowed.
When weather changes, waste problems get harder. Heat increases odor, cold can freeze water containers, and wind can scatter light trash. Pack as if the site has no services, because many dispersed sites do not.
