About this Product
ONLY FIVE SOMEWHAT GREENISH AVAILABLE FOR A SHORT TIME!
It's the Holey Hiker "HOLEY SCHMIDT" whistle. An emergency whistle is not supposed to be just 5 grams. They are not supposed to be only 2 inches long. They are not meant to hit 119 decibels.
Ok...maybe they are.
But are they suppose to only be $1? Whistles like this would normally go for $100s!
Buy any bidet and get the "Holey Schmidt" whistle for only $1. One Whistle per bidet purchased :) If you don't buy a bidet, I am not even quoting you a price, Schmidt says just yell really loud.
Is there really a Schmidt this whistle was named after? Of course there is. Named for someone who was eagerly awaiting her bidet after it being delayed. Nervously wondering why the bidet traveled to fourteen states, but never arriving at her doorstop. Did she write an angry email wondering why I could not control the Postal Services decisions? NO. Did she use fighting words in her email to motivate me to personally drive one across the country? NO. She just wrote "I just thought I’d say hello and let you know I’m sad about that, but I will not give up hope." We should all be so hopeful. I asked what I could do in return like name a building after her? She mentioned just naming a limited-edition whistle in her honor.
The Holey Schmidt Whistle is a limited number item. If you are reading this buy one before they are gone.
This is not a whistle that you should buy as you prep for an apocalypse. It is sturdy but cannot take being slammed in a car door, a 75' fall off a cliff, or survive a direct blow from a zombie. It is more like a whistle you would keep in your toiletry kit.
Remember folks, descriptions may include some exaggeration, but the quotes are all real! And I would like seriously add, please do not blow whistle indoors without plugging your ears. You should not subject your ears to 119 db in a closed spaced.

*Please note that the Holey Schmidt Whistles are made with left over resin so that I have as little waste as possible and are often the result of different colors being mixed together resulting in a once-in-a-lifetime result.
Holey Hiker Backpacking Bidets
Meet the Maker
Hello and welcome to Holey Hiker Bidets! I'm Paul Bogush the designer, creator, lead tester, and CEO (Chief Elimination Officer) of Holey Hiker Backpacking Bidets. After using a few other bidets I realized that not one had all the features I was looking for. None had the right combination of durability, ease of use, low water usage, and the perfect stream. I decided to start designing and testing my own in December 2020. Each time I went out I made a small change and then came home and fired up the 3D printer to make the improvements based on my experience and the experiences and feedback from testers all around the country. After one last outing on the Appalachian Trail in June of 2020, I had what I thought was the perfect backpacking bidet...but testers started to report that it would crack after about a year's worth of use. After another year of prototyping and experimenting with different plastics the final prototype was finally made in July of 2021 and sales to our waiting list and anyone who happen to stumble upon the website began. Our "grand opening" finally occurred on November 19, 2021.
In June of 2023 we closed the shop and I set out to improve the design and make it stronger, lighter, and improve the spray. I decided to use a injection molding process which meant getting a crash course in how to take my 3D printed design and convert it to a design that could be injection molded. For those of you that design and make, it was going from Tinkercad to SolidWorks :) Finally in January the current version was finally approved, mold created, and the first 25 prototypes were made and tested. The current version of the bidet started being sold in March of 2024 and are made at a family run business right here in Connecticut. It is a one man show so please be patient with shipping and correspondence.
We are the only seller of the Holey Hiker Backpacking Bidet. All other sites selling four-hole bidets are selling imitations! Feel free to point them out and I'll gladly tell you why their imitation design is inferior.

If your bidet malfunctions or gets destroyed by a bear within 900 days of buying it, we will send out a new bidet to you. If it breaks after 900 days and you have a really good story about how it got destroyed, please share it with us. If it's interesting enough, I'll share it at the dinner table with the family and have them vote on whether a free replacement should be sent out.
