Developing Hygiene Systems for Small Space Living

rswfire discusses foundational hygiene challenges while living in an RV, connecting these struggles to broader themes of cognitive diversity and societal conformity.

The transmission addresses his sensitivity to being observed by strangers, which affects his willingness to use public showers on busy days like Saturday.
