Who would have thought that I would find myself in an all-natural cosmetics store to make my next outdoors purchase.

This past Christmas, while shopping for gifts, my daughter and I discovered that Lush (a Canadian cosmetics company) makes toothpaste tablets. All you have to do is chew one, then start brushing. I am headed out for a three day trip this Easter weekend. I only need to take a couple tablets and I have toothpaste covered for the weekend. They are super light (~0.5 g each), and I only have to take what I need.

They aren't exactly cheap as far as toothpaste goes ($10 buys you about 100 of them), but for backcountry trips, I think they will fit the bill perfectly. This is my first time using them, I will let you know how it goes.

I will let her know how they work after this weekend.

There is nothing wrong with Tom's toothpaste. It's just that regular toothpaste tubes are big and heavy, and you only need a little bit each day, so being able to bring just the amount you need saves a lot of weight and space in your pack.

So... in a nutshell, the toothpaste worked great - I would highly recommend it. More on the Easter trip coming soon in a new journal!

I enjoy backpacking and hiking adventures with my family, though many of my adventures now start with my motorcycle.
