Getting to know GoGirl

 

What is a GoGirl?

Yes, that's right. GoGirl is the leader in Female Urination Devices ( or as we refer to them F.U.D. I know it sounds funny.) But, GoGirl allows you the opportunity to stand to urinate! When there is no bathroom insight or when the bathrooms are unsanitary....i.e. porta potties, use GoGirl!

Why?

We believe that life's greatest adventure shouldn't be finding a bathroom. With this in mind, GoGirl Kit was carefully designed to be travel friendly, sustainable bathroom solution.

So, why pee standing up?

Not only is it liberating to pee standing up, but it's super convenient when traveling! Backpacking through Europe or vacationing in Asia, it will be your squatting abilities vs. a hole in the ground .

GoGirl let's you pee in ease and saves your knees!

Its compact and TSA friendly!

GoGirl to the rescue! Knee surgery? Sports related injury? Torn ACL? Post-hip and back surgery or Postpartum.

GoGirl will save you a ton of pain and hassle by not having to sit down every time you need to pee!

This is the #1 reason why most of our fans love GoGirl.

Concerts, Music Festivals, Camping Trips, GoGirl is a must have product to keep with your flashlight and emergency camping gear.

You don’t need to risk exposing yourself to poison ivy. Raining? Try going in an empty water bottle in the privacy of your own tent. Problem solved!

It’s not uncommon to see women working in construction, law enforcement, ranch management, military & other hard labor jobs.

This doesn’t mean anything is easier, including the bathroom situation, or lack there of.

Power through, or as we like to say, “pee through” life’s unconventional situations and everyday obstacles with GoGirl!

How does it work? How do I use GoGirl?

"Positioning your GoGirl properly is the key to a successful pee!"

Position your GoGirl

1. Hold your GoGirl with your thumb and middle finger (don't squeeze the sides) and press against your exterior vaginal area. Your thumb should be forward, and your middle finger towards the back.

2. Then you just aim over the toilet or if you are outside, face away from the wind and Go!

It's that easy. (although you might want to try a couple times in the shower until you got the hang of it)

Cleaning your GoGirl

Scenario 1: Day Trip

If you are only going on a day trip, you can squirt some cold water on it and rinse with a mild soap unscented soap like Dr. Bronner’s. Once it is squeaky clean, dry it off completely and store it in Waterproof tote to protect it from bacteria laden items.

Scenario 2: No running water

What if you aren’t near running water? Not to worry, you can squirt some cold water from a water bottle on it and rinse with a mild soap unscented soap.

Scenario 3: NO WATER

What if you aren’t near ANY water?

Luckily, you can have some peace of mind about this, and that’s because GoGirl is made of medical grade silicone. This revolutionary material repels moisture making it a safe product to use even when conditions don’t allow for a quick rinsing. In this situation we recommend giving your GoGirl a quick shake and dry before storing.

Why we love GoGirl!

GoGirl has been one of our top selling products for about 4 years now, we have thousands of people reach out to us and tell us stories about how product like these help empower the female in everyday workplaces. One example of these stories was about a police officer that was at the scene of a incident for over 8 hours along a rural highway where there wasn't a restroom within 45 miles and lucky for her she had her GoGirl kit with her and was able to relieve herself without putting her in a vulnerable position on the side of the road...( those police belts with all the gear are hard to wear around your ankles)....so the next time you are on a road trip, hike, or at your job make sure you have a GoGirl.

FIRE STARTING 101 – LESSON 1 – THE BASICS OF STARTING A FIRE

The theory of starting a fire is simple. Fire is at the core of human existence as it provides warmth, utility, and comfort. Enabling us to cook food at camp, keep warm on a cold night, and purify water; it is easy to understand why fire is essential. Prior to starting a fire, we need to understand some fundamental principles. Having a reliable ignition source, collecting proper materials, and understanding the triangle of fire is the recipe for success. THE TRIANGLE OF FIRE Simply put, a fire is created when the triangle of fire is intact. The triangle of fire is an easy way to examine the necessary elements of fire. Each side of the triangle is comprised of one element: heat, oxygen or fuel. To best illustrate this, envision that each side of the triangle is pushing inward if any element is eliminated the triangle will collapse on itself and no fire will exist. Seems easy right? That’s really all there is to it. The complexity of fire making is having insight as to what element or elements are insufficient within the triangle. Possessing the knowledge to manipulate elements into their correct state will result in successfully starting a fire. 1. Heat – This is the element of the triangle that we introduce, whereas nature provides the other elements of fuel and oxygen. An open flame source provides the most reliable heat source and eliminates the need of using advanced techniques when starting a fire. Remember, heat can be dispersed quickly and ineffectively by an overabundance of fuel, moisture, or lack of oxygen. 2. Oxygen– Without a constant source of oxygen, the fire will quickly end. Always allow ample amounts of oxygen to enter into the fire lay. It is important that the fire can draw clean, fresh air in order to grow larger and stronger. When starting a fire, placing large amounts of wood over the heat source cuts off the oxygen flow, effectively smothering it. 3. Fuel – One of the most challenging elements of the triangle is choosing the correct fuel. It is extremely important to match the fuel source to the other two elements. When choosing the proper fuel source, visualize a lit match. If a large log were to be placed over the lit match, the flame would only able to heat a very small section of the large log. The log will never burn because there is too much fuel in comparison to the heat of the match. However, take the same match and place a toothpick sized stick above it. The flame from the match will engulf the small stick and ignite it into flame. The burning stick will now yield a larger flame allowing more sticks to be placed over it. Continue this process and soon you will be starting a fire. CHOOSING MATERIALS – TINDER, KINDLING, FUEL TINDER BUNDLE The tinder bundle is a small gathering of fine and course materials that will ignite when exposed to open flame. Although not needed to affect fire, a tinder bundle provides benefit to the user by extending and expanding the initial flame source. Some choices for a tinder bundle include birch bark, inter barks of trees, dried grasses, and even dried flower tops. Most ideal when creating a tinder bundle is to gather materials into a softball sized ball. TINDER Tinder material should be toothpick sized wood up to wood that is the size of a #2 pencil. It is important to gather a lot of material this size because it serves as the initial wood source that will help grow the flame. As more and more tinder ignites it will allow larger fuel sources to be added to further develop the fire. Some good choices when looking for this type of wood is to search at the base of pine trees, as they have small branches low to the ground that is dry and dead yet still attached to the tree. KINDLING Kindling is medium sized material within the fire lay. A good rule is to gather material the size of a #2 pencil up to pieces the diameter of your thumb. Make sure it is as dry as possible and from dead trees. Live trees or green wood is full of moisture and do not burn well. FUEL Larger campfire material is referred to as fuel. Fuel is wood the diameter of your thumb and larger. Fuel sources can be as large as a split log, the most typical campfire wood. This source of wood is going to maintain your fire for long durations, provide maximum warmth, and allow a beautiful bed of embers perfect for cooking. CHOOSING A FIRE STARTER Your decision to carry a specific fire starter should be taken with much care. In the wilderness we do not have control over the environment, however, we do have control over how we ignite our fires. In my opinion, an open flame source is the most reliable method. In fact, we immediately have fire once we ignite our match; all we need to do is Shepard that flame into something more, something larger and stronger. With so many fire starters on the market, how do we decide? The best answer to this question is it depends. Consider your needs, are you carrying fire starters for emergency situations or just to start a campfire for enjoyment on the trail? Matches, such as UCO Stormproof Matches, are a great choice as they are water and weather-proof. These fire starters will burn in even the most adverse weather conditions. Heat, oxygen, and fuel must all be present when starting a fire. Once started, we can cook, warm ourselves, and purify our water sources. We can eliminate much struggle when starting a fire by carrying reliable fire starters and understanding how fire is developed. Don’t forget that the elements within the triangle of fire must work in conjunction with each other. Multiple elements may be out of sync with one another but referring back to the triangle of fire will give you the correct solution. Starting a fire can be a vital lifeline that we cannot do without, but most of all it adds much enjoyment to our outdoor adventures.

How To Start A Fire Using a Ferro Rod

The reason the ferro rod is referred to as the ultimate emergency fire starting device is because it is impenetrable to all weather and has an extremely long lifespan. It will not be affected by rain, cold, snow, extreme heat, or even submersion in water. No matter what the weather conditions, a strike of the rod will always result in an intense spark.  The rod itself is also usable down to its core. This means that if there is any rod material remaining there is a spark left to be had. Using this device does require some technique. Don’t worry though, with a few tips it is super easy to get started! 1. Place the rod securely down into your tinder source. If you are making fire on loose dirt use a split stick to create a solid surface. 2.  Place the supplied striker against rod. Be sure to keep the striker at approximately 45 degrees. 3. Begin to scrap the striker along the rod while maintaining the 45 degree angle. Apply a generous amount of pressure to the rod with the striker. The key is to remove as much material from the rod as possible. BOOM FIRE! It is important to be mindful that the ferrocerium rod only throws sparks. Those sparks need to ignite another material in order to create actual flame.  Dried grasses There are numerous materials that will ignite with just the spark of a ferrocerium rod. Some of these include, dried grasses, birch bark, inner bark of trees, very fine wood shavings and also modern fire starters such as UCO sweetfire biofuel tabs.
