"Now I carry a couple of hygiene products with me. This is not necessary, you don't have to bring these but I put them in my kit so you may want to consider it for yourself. What I have right here is a little tiny bag, a little bag that I keep all my hygiene stuff in. It fits well under my bigger backpack and it doesn't take up that much room. So next thing, a knife. Why? Because it's always on you. Make sure you have a knife ok. Alright I have also a little carrying case right here, for my toothpaste and my toothbrush. Now the toothbrush I like to carry a toothbrush with this little opening top right here. Just so you don't get dirt and other junk in your toothbrush, you can keep it clean all the time. So there's that. I also like to carry a bar of soap, if you ever find a lake or a creek or something that you can go wash yourself in, it's always great. Also to keep your face clean and oils from building up on your skin. It's going to keep you a lot more healthy. Next thing, I carry dental floss. Dental floss is always good, just like the toothpicks, plus you can also double dental floss for fishing line. And other sorts of ties like that, it's very, very strong and can catch you some good little bait if you want to do some more serious fishing. Ok. That's dental floss. Next thing is a comb. Comb is always good because when your hair is getting all crazy in your face, this is always good to keep with you as well. An ace bandage, I keep for hygiene reasons just for many different reasons. You can keep it in a first aid kit or what not. I just like keeping it in my hygiene bag right here for different reasons. This is just in case you have a broken leg, injured something, it's always good to have a little first aid bandage ok. Next thing is a little wash cloth, this doesn't take up much room and it folds really small so this is great to use with your soap and everything else. So all this fits very nicely in your little bag. I carry it with me, you might want to consider carrying it with you."
