In episode 27 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we explore the idea of using pee rags in the backcountry in a bit more detail. If you are a person with a vulva, and you squat when you pee, a pee rag can be an excellent low waste option. If you want more information about pee rags, menstrual cups, and more, go back and check out episode 17 where we explore all things menses and peeing in the woods. In that episode, we briefly cover some pee rag options, one of them being the Kula Cloth. Because peeing outside is something many of us do, I was excited to sit down and chat with Anastasia Allison. Anastasia Allison is the founder of Kula Cloth, the first of its kind - an antimicrobial pee cloth for anybody who squats when they pee. Anastasia has been described as, 'mysteriously complex' - and when she isn't doing work for Kula or contemplating the vastness of the universe, she spends her time playing violin in the mountains, writing whimsical poetry or dancing.

I know what you're thinking. “What is a ‘pee cloth?'” And, maybe, “do I want to know?” And possibly also “gross.” If you've ever been a woman trying to pee outside you know that the struggle is real and the solutions are sparse. Your options for good hygiene while taking care of business are limited to: a drip-shake dry method, which is ineffective at best; packing out dirty toilet paper, which is not great for obvious reasons; or using some kind of fabric that you plan to wash later. (And if you're a dude who is thinking “what about those female urination devices like a ‘She-wee?'” -- great idea for solving the squatting issue, but it doesn't actually impact this hygiene conundrum at all.) So what's a girl to do? That's exactly the problem Anastasia Allison was trying to solve when she got the idea for Kula Kloth. Instead of using an ugly piece of fabric, why not create and produce a product for women that can make using the outdoors not just more sanitary, but at the same time also create community and be fun. In this episode Anastasia shares her infectious joy, personal story of getting close to nature -- including the time she literally stole toilet paper during her first-ever backpacking trip -- and a window into how she is working through her small brand to make heading outside more accessible for everyone.   Some of the good stuff: [2:50] Anastasia Allison's favorite outdoor space [5:00] How Anastasia became someone who likes to go outside [9:35] How a change of identity changes your perspective [14:55] How Kula was born [20:30] The danger of over-thinking [27:55] What exactly is a Kula Kloth? [34:35] What has running Kula taught her about inclusivity? [40:00] Why Kula is a small step for inclusivity [44:31] That time she stole toilet paper -- like, literally stole it. [53:49] Anastasia's favorite and most essential outdoor gear [56:45] Anastasia's favorite outdoor moment   Connect with this episode: Follow Kula Kloth on Instagram (seriously, do it): https://www.instagram.com/kulacloth/ Follow Anastasia Allison on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anastasia.allison/ Shop Kula Cloth: https://kulacloth.com/ Sign-up for a Kula Academy class: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/kula-cloth-30263713380 Win a decal by signing up for the Humans Outside newsletter: https://humansoutside.com/newsletter/ Find full show notes at humansoutside.com https://www.humansoutside.com/podcasts/

What's the deal with our collective embarrassment around hygiene? How is sex and gender tied up into all of this? What happens when we don't talk about hygiene openly? And-- just as importantly-- what happens when we do?Anastasia Allison, founder of Kula Cloth, joins the show to dive into this, and we lean on our own personal outdoor hygiene stories and mishaps to illustrate that when it comes to hygiene, there's nothing dirty about it-- and nothing to be ashamed about.Featured in this Episode:Anastasia AllisonInstagram: @kulacloth / @anastasia.allison Website: Kula Cloth (and check out the Sex Outside Kula!)Check out a special bonus poem about outdoor sex by Anastasia: A (Very Honest) Poem by Kula ClothLet's be friends:We want you to be a part of the Sex Outside community!The Sex Outside closed network is a new way to engage with Sex Outside and connect with other community members.

I truly loved talking to Anastasia Allison. Anastasia is the Founder of Kula Cloth, an "antimicrobial pee cloth for anybody who squats when they pee" (kulacloth.com). Since my interview with Anastasia, I now have a Kula. I absolutely love it. This is a must for all active, outdoorsy women. In this interview, Anastasia generously shares her experiences about being bullied, shattering suffocating beliefs around work and money, the acceptance provided by the outdoors, and the importance of daily dancing. Anastasia is also a talented violinist who is part of The Musical Mountaineers, where the love of music and the mountains is experienced in the most unique way. This is a conversation that really spoke to me as we all contemplate new chapters, what we are living for and how to be confident in our passions and dreams. There is much to learn from Anastasia Allison, and I truly wanted to jump through Zoom to go for a hike with her. Enjoy. Original broadcast on CIUT 89.5FM and www.ciut.fm.

Peeing, pooping and periods. Oh yeah, we're "going" there. The founder of Kula Cloth, Anastasia Allison, joins us to talk about how to do all three of these things comfortably in the backcountry. Do you 'drip dry,' or 'shake it off'? What about if you pop a squat and notice a trail cam pointed at you? 1:30 - 'Snain' - snow up high, rain down low 4:00 - unannounced sunrise concerts in the backcountry, courtesy of a packed in keyboard and violin 4:45 - going from working in parks, to becoming a police officer, to entrepreneurship - Kula Cloth is a non-microbial cloth that helps you "go" wherever you need to 8:30 - On stealing toilet paper from another camper's backpack, and realizing you don't actually know HOW to go potty in the woods 11:45 - PEEING. Drip dry? Or, the 'aggressive shake-off'? 12:00 - It's important to stay dry and clean in the backcountry. Otherwise you're looking at chafing, UTIs, or plain old discomfort 13:00 - When peeing, be mindful of water sources nearby. Try to be 200 ft away 13:30 - How to pee? There are all kinds of ways. There's the trusty 'ol squat, or if you're in a climbing harness or drysuit, products like the SheWee or TinkleBell or SheFly pants. 14:45 - Even if you shake off after peeing, you're probably still going to have some residual moisture 16:00 - Description of a toilet bag 17:00 - Kula Cloth and other pee cloths are there to help you pat dry 18:00 - Caring for a pee cloth on a long backpacking trip 23:45 - POOP. That moment when you ask for the trowel and everybody knows where you're going 25:00 - You should be packing out toilet paper. Is it awkward shoving it in a clear ziplock bag and toting it to and from camp? Yes. One tip: Cover your poo baggie with duct tape. 26:00 - Digging a 6- to 8-inch hole sounds super easy, but it doesn't feel quick when you really need to go. You can pre-dig a hole as soon as you set-up camp. 27:00 - Nobody wants to show up to a campsite with a bunch of small rock shrines, which are actually just small poop temples for people who didn't bother to dig a hole. 28:00 - Toilet paper doesn't just disappear, especially in desert and alpine environments 28:30 - "Blue bag" areas - places where you're regulated to pack out your poop. (Also a good idea to be blue-bagging in snow-camping situations.) 30:00 - Blue-bagging can feel a little weird. It's like picking up dog poop, but you are the dog. 30:30 - go2 Outdoor Essentials 32:00 - "CuloClean" squirt nozzle for water bottle 33:00 - On husband-wife intimacy when it comes to poo in the backcountry 38:00 - Burning toilet paper - yay or nay? 39:30 - PERIODS. 40:30 - Menstrual cups, like Diva Cup and Pixie Cup. If you've ever thought of trying one, the ease of having your period in the backcountry is a huge perk. 41:45 - If you use tampons/pads, you're going to need to pack out the spent ones, preferably keeping them alongside your food so they're not a wildlife attractant. 47:30 - South entrance to Yellowstone... the notorious sign, "Bears and Menstruation." It's scaring everybody! 48:30 - What's the evidence on bear attacks being correlated to periods? Not much. 48:45 - "Night of the Grizzlies" book 50:00 - Worst thing ever: Popping a squat and then seeing a trail cam pointed at you 57:00 - Knockin' rainbows on the Snake for a Fish and Game bounty 1:00:01 - Toilet paper shortage has been serendipitous for Kula Cloth

Today’s conversation is with Anastasia Allison. Anastasia is a woman of many talents and interests. Early in her career she worked as a park ranger (a dream job for her) and then as a law enforcement officer for BNSF railway. She had a near death experience in a car accident that turned everything around for her. It was then that she stopped letting her fears get the best of her and it was at that point that she opened up to new possibilities including her work now as an entrepreneur with a very innovative, yet much needed product for women hikers. Fair warning that we dive right into a topic that isn’t usually discussed publicly but is at the core of her company, Kula Cloth. Oh, and to top it off, she plays violin and calls herself a musical mountaineer – and you’re going to hear a beautiful story about that. Anastasia Allison is a really thoughtful, reflective human being and I know you’re going to love this conversation with her… ***** Have a burning question and want to be featured on a future episode?

Anastasia Allison was an unusual kid. She was into things you and I probably were not such as volunteering at a national park as an interpretive guide wearing period costumes performing hymns and folk songs with her violin. Sounds like a super cool kid to me in many ways but sadly, Allison suffered a great deal of bullying as a child. It might be for that reason she spent a lot of her life trying to conform to this “what should we be and do with our lives.” She finally realized after a near-death experience, that she can actually do whatever she wants to and today, she owns a gear company that sells pee cloths - it’s called Kula Cloth - check it out a t kulacloth.com , she climbs mountains with her violin and performs music in the wilderness with the Musical Mountaineeers and she basically has defined what success means to her and is living it, a major prerequisite for being on this podcast.    We talk about: A childhood of bullying - and turning it into a positive experience Overcoming limiting beliefs The role the woods plays in all this.    So with that, let’s listen in and gear up for what’s next.    Where to find Anastasia and other links: kulacloth.com @kulacloth on Instagram @themusicalmountaineers Musical Mountaineers on Youtube  Her personal website     BEFORE YOU LEAVE - If you are enjoying the shows, I hope you’ll subscribe, rate, review and share with your friends!   About Lisa Gerber: Lisa advises CEOs and senior-level management on how to use the power of storytelling and effective communication to influence action and bring ideas to life.   She guides companies through the digital maze of constantly changing tools to build discovery, loyalty, and ultimately help them achieve their own big leaps.   When she is not in her office, she might be out skiing or trail running.

Anastasia and Rose hike their violin and keyboard, respectfully, into the mountains of Washington to play music to greet the rising sun. In doing so, they hope to inspire others to share their own gifts with the world. A little over a year ago, Anastasia Allison and Rose Freeman met in person and found out they had the same dream: to play music in the backcountry (in a low impact and respectful fashion). They decided to load up a violin and keyboard and give it a try. You can watch videos of them playing in the mountains in all seasons - surrounded by snow and in the height of summer. In this episode, Anastasia and Rose record a recent hike up Sahale arm in the North Cascades and share what makes it special for them and others. Women Featured in this Episode: Anastasia Allison and Rose Freeman Addy Polet is featured in the Deuter midroll. Hosted by Gale Straub In this episode you'll hear How Anastasia and Rose got started as "The Musical Mountaineers" - carrying their instruments to play music as the sun rises and sets in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest The sounds of the two women hiking up to Sahale Arm in the Cascades to play a sunrise "concert" How the women practice Leave No Trace when they perform and why they don't tell anyone that they're going to be out there The challenges and rewards of hiking instruments up 3,500 feet to play The mission behind "The Musical Mountaineers" and how it's evolved The ways playing music in the backcountry has impacted them personally How they improvise to create new music together What makes Anastasia and Rose a good team How letting go of perfection in music relates to every day life and other lessons we can draw from their performances And about the Women on the Road Gathering in Taos, NM!
