Going on 1 week OUTDOOR trip! NEED SURVIVAL TIPS! (girls especially)

Ok so almost immediatly after we get into school we have a 1 week outdoor education trip with our class. We have to sleep in tents all week etc. NO indoor plumbing ( for what i have heard from past classes). Generally I’m fine with camping and stuff. I am an outdoorsy girl, but I need some tips on how to keep a clean (zit-free) face with out sinks in stuff and things like sanitary issues incase i have my period that week. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! thanks!

hey(:
ill be glad to help!

hygiene is very important(as we all know)
so its crucial to stay clean & healthy.
ive put together a list of things that I would pack.

Face:

◦face wipes/acne wipes:
(dont touch your face with your hands. thats one of the top reasons you have pimples. sounds weird, i know. but keep fingers away from your face. the less grease & dirt the better!)

◦cleanser or scrub:
(if your going to be outdoors, then it would
be good to pack a facial cleanser or scrub.
itll keep your face nice & fresh & mostly, just
wash it.)

◦sunscreen:
(my friend actually has this really good stick
sunscreen meant for your face. you can get
it at any drugstore & apply it 1 or 2 times a
day.)

Hygiene:

◦toilet paper:
(well it sort of explains itself:D)

◦pads/tampons/pantyliners:
(i dont know if youve started your period yet or
not but im sure you know that its important
to have enough supplies. id take a big pack of
pads with me, i had one of 36 pads in it & it
lasted me 1 period. if your planning on swimming
then take tampons. they are WAY more comfortable than pads because you can feel them. & dont listen to all the baloney about it
hurting. it doesnt. it only hurt me once bc i put it in wrong. to me the most comfortable position is
squatting. dont sit. it goes in wrong [for me]. take about 15 pantyliners. so if you wear a tampon put one on too so just incase it leaks. & also for the light days.:D)

◦shower supplies:
(i had a trip like that too & alot of girls just brought their own buckets [like me]. buy a big/medium bucket [like to build sandcastles] and
put all of your soap/shampoo/conditioner into it.
its really handy. we all bathed in the lake so everyone just took their bucket. & dont forget your TOWEL!)

◦sunscreen/bug spray:
(okay, so it sounds geeky but bring sunscreen
& bugspray. i came home with millions of bugbites just wishing i would have listened & brought the bug spray. also dont forget sunblock,
i got really burnt there too.)

◦first aid kit:
(put together your own little first aid kit. my friends & i took pencil [boxes] cases & filled them with some aloe vera gel, band aids,
a bandage, mini scissors, alchohol wipes & other useful items)

Other:

◦sheets:
(i suggest just bringing a blanket or towel to put
on the ground so your sleeping bag wont get all
grassy. then a sleeping back, pillow, & flat sheet)

◦snacks/drink:
(bring enough water or drinks for yourself & its a good idea to bring along some snacks. buy some chips, granola bites, basically anything.)

◦food:
(i dont know if you have to bring your own food or not but we did. if you do bring food that wont spoil for a week. we brought lots of canned foods like beans, corn, & canned fruit. & everyone had a little cooler for their hot dog weiners or hamburger patties. just bring easy food to make such as mac & cheese…dont forget pans or little pots to cook the food(; )

i think thats all ive got for you:)
hope i helped a bit & if you have any
questions, comments, or suggestions
you can email me at malpiszon94@yahoo.com
