Doctrine // the why
MissionHygiene is illness prevention, not luxury. After 14 days off-grid, a clean toothbrush and feet that haven't been festering inside boots prevent infections and trench foot. Permethrin pre-treatment of outer layers happens at home ≥ 2 weeks before trip — never field-applied. Wag bags for federal land and sensitive alpine. Sunscreen + lip balm + insect repellent are environmental defenses, not afterthoughts.
