minus-squareCassa@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoDisposable towels? Single use compressed Towels? the endless focus on consumption with no reuse, the usage of resources?
minus-squarenave@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoIt’s for hikers who need to be careful about how much weight they carry.
minus-squareElectroLisa@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoWeight or volume? Technically a compressed object weighs the same as uncompressed, ex. a sheet of paper
minus-squareTransporter Room 3@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoSkill issue, tbh… If you can’t afford the extra grams for two small towels, then you need to get a little bit more stamina.
minus-squaretyler@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoI used these things in my edc kit. It’s not about the weight, it’s about the space, and they’re really only ever used in emergencies. I wouldn’t say they’re a good product though.
minus-squareDigitalDruid@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·5 months agoagree, you rarely need 8 towels on even an extended trip and you don’t need a plastic holder for them. 2 light microfiber towels (one for dirty washing one for clean washing) stuff down very smol.
