CleanTrek: Trekking Pole Attachments for Litter-Free Hiking

"Clean Trek is one of those products I didn’t realize I needed until I saw this campaign. I hike with poles and a running vest, and I always try to pick up litter along the trail, but it usually ends up in my vest with my gear, food, and water, which can get pretty gross. These attachments make it so much easier: I can carry a trash bag on my poles and use the grabber to pick things up without touching them or disturbing the environment. I'm excited to bring these on future hikes and finally remove any excuses for leaving trash behind. Thank you, Clean Trek!"
