Also, I have yet to visit a civilized location in the world where you cannot buy a decent disposable razor that's better than the electric shaver he carries around the world. I understand they recycle pretty well too, if you're worried about waste.
IDK about nomading, but when dirtbagging you have an excess of time. If the sun is down then your day is done. In the winter especially, having chores to do is welcome reprieve from the cold and boredom. And bathrooms or laundromats are so awesome. Warm and dry and bright.
In my experience campsite bathrooms tend to be cold and wet. Bright, sure, but not a place I'd like to spend any time more than needed in. :D
Gotta find a walmart or especially target. They're saunas :)
Paper, cardboard, metal, #1 plastic bottles and #2 plastic bottles all recycle well.
This says that the vast majority of plastic globally is not recycled: https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution
Recycling rate for paper is much, much better, granted, in many countries: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/recycling-rates-paper-and...
The recycling of metals depends on which metal, of course.
In general, IMO there is far too much depressing reading like this - 'An estimated 70–80% of the MSW generated in Africa is recyclable, yet only 4% of MSW is currently recycled': https://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/30975/...
I can't find any figures that say recycling is a success story across the world, or even economically viable and sustainable across most popular types of waste.
There exist non-dudes, and getting caught without a tampon/pad is a thing that can happen for any number of reasons.
A hand wash with unlimited water will probably get the job done, but unlimited water is often a luxury.
And yeah, that electric shaver he is packing is next to useless, I'd understand packing decent mini shaver, but that thing can't shave anything.
