For four years, people have been asking me to add a hook to the bidet.
 
I understand why. You finish your business, you clean up, and now you have a wet bidet that needs to dry out before it goes back in your pack. The solution which everyone kept suggesting, was adding a hook directly to the bidet. A hook means a new mold. A new mold means thousands of dollars. Thousands of dollars means a much less fun corner of the garage.
 
The logical solution is a little bag that hangs on the outside and lets it breathe. But I have no sewing skills.
 
So I called Rich.
 
You might remember Rich from Bagzilla, the ultralight stake bag that was made for the Pachallama Stakes. Rich is a thru-hiker who makes ultralight gear in the corner of his living room in Virginia. He is the right person to call when you need something small, light, and so precisely made it feels like it was inevitable.
 
I said Rich, I need a little bag. Not just any bag. It needs to be ultralight. It needs to attach to the outside of a pack. And it needs to let the bidet dry out between uses because a wet bidet rattling around inside your pack is not the vibe we are going for.
 
Rich's eyes lit up. I didn't actually see it happen but I am confident it occurred.
 
A couple of prototypes later, the Holey Bidet Bag exists. Designed specifically for the Holey Hiker Bidet, it is the only ultralight bidet bag built to keep your bidet aired out, accessible, and ready to go. Sunflower yellow Dyneema upper so it matches the bidet inside it. Bullet mesh lower so the air gets in and the moisture gets out. Glow in the dark micro cord lock because Rich has a type and that type is glow in the dark.
 
Yes, it is a little bigger than the Holey Hiker Bidet. That is on purpose. For an extra half gram Rich made this ultralight bidet pouch big enough that there is no fiddling. Open the bag, drop the bidet out. Open the bag, drop the bidet in. No squinting, no wrestling, no fumbling around at a moment when fumbling is the last thing you want to be doing. put in your little container of soap, a few packets of wipes, or your security toilet paper.  The size makes sense the first time you use it.
 
3.5 by 3 inches. Three grams.
 
It hangs on the outside of your pack. Your bidet airs out. You hike on. Nobody had to redesign anything.
 
Rich made this. I asked for it. Four years of people requesting a hook, and the answer was a bag that weighs three grams and costs a fraction of a new mold.
 
Sometimes the garage finds a way.
