A Small Piece of Gear That Makes a Big Difference
 
Meet the Kula Cloth® — a thoughtfully designed, reusable pee cloth created for hiking, camping, backpacking, travel, and everyday outdoor adventures.
 
What started as a simple solution to reducing toilet paper waste in the outdoors has become a genuinely clever piece of outdoor gear. Kula Cloth combines function with beautiful artwork, creating something that is practical enough for the trail but fun enough that you'll actually want to carry it.
 
Each Kula Cloth features a waterproof printed side and a soft, absorbent antimicrobial side. After use, the clever double-snap design allows the cloth to fold closed for added privacy and cleanliness before attaching to the outside of your backpack or gear.
 
Reflective stitching even makes it easier to locate with a headlamp when nature calls after dark. Choose your favorite nature-inspired design and take it along on your next adventure.

Learning Benefits
 
Outdoor education isn't only about identifying plants, animals, rocks, or stars. It's also about learning how to responsibly and confidently spend time outside.
 
Kula Cloth can help introduce practical concepts such as reducing single-use waste, responsible outdoor recreation, personal preparedness, hygiene in the outdoors, independence, and Leave No Trace principles.
 
For teens and young adults beginning to hike, camp, backpack, or participate in longer adventures independently, it can also help normalize an important part of outdoor education: learning how to comfortably manage personal needs when traditional facilities aren't available.
 
Why We Carry It
 
Sometimes the best products begin with someone noticing a problem in nature and deciding there has to be a better way.
 
Kula Cloth® began after founder Anastasia Allison encountered discarded toilet paper while exploring the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington State. A former park ranger and backpacking instructor, Anastasia had already begun using a reusable pee cloth to reduce waste outdoors. She wondered whether she could turn that simple idea into a thoughtfully designed piece of outdoor gear.
 
In 2018, she began building Kula Cloth from her guest bedroom. What started as a practical solution grew into a woman-owned company and a community centered around outdoor adventure and responsible recreation.
 
That story immediately connected with us at Nature's Materials.
 
We love products that encourage people to get outside, explore, become more independent, and think about how their choices affect the natural spaces around them. We also love that Kula didn't stop at making something functional. Thoughtful features and beautiful artwork transform an everyday necessity into a piece of outdoor gear people can actually enjoy carrying.
 
Even the name reflects that philosophy: Kula means "community."
Practical, reusable, educational, beautifully designed, and created to help people enjoy nature more responsibly — Kula Cloth feels right at home at Nature's Materials.
