Personal Grooming

[Midwest Ninja]

I don't think any of us really expects to get truly clean out in the woods- its a matter of controlling pests and personal refreshment. Anything else gents?

I lost my bar of soap in a lake once. Now I always take Ivory soap. It floats.

Another thing about Ivory soap. It can be used as an emergency channel catfish bait.

If i car camp i shower every day i just carry some extra water no big deal. If i backpack i heat some water to wash my hair and then heat some more water to take spong bath i would do that as offten as i can. But when i get back to the car i alway got clean cloths and lots of water to shower next to the car before the drive home.. I dont mind being dirty but i would rather stay clean. I can swear i sleep better and have more energy when im clean.. Also dont smell as something that died on the side of the road.

+1 :thumbup: I'm right there with ya! I've never understood people who bathe/shower in the morning. For me, if I get at all sweaty or dirty on a hike, I have to at least have a quick sponge bath before bed or I won't sleep well at all which makes for a rough day on the trail the next day.

+1 on that Salamander.
