EDT)I often wonder (?) what might be the most- practical, and expedient way to keep oneself relatively clean and effectively odor- free, without access to hot water or showers, while hiking and/or backpacking. The longest I have been away from hot- water and shower facilities, was about 1. AT in Maine, during mid- October.   Temps were down around freezing overnight, to about 5. F during daytime hours.

My 'system' consisted of using alcohol- gel hand- sanitizer (convenient in small plastic containers, and kept warm in pockets of clothing, or with me in the sleeping- bag), and some of those 'flushable / disposable baby- wipes'.   I would strip- off top and bottom clothing (separately, not at same time), and 'bird- bath' myself.  Following that, I would apply underarm deodorant (unscented "Tom's", or "Trader Joe's").    Wipes were put into Zip. Loc baggies for later proper disposal.   BTW - - the flushable baby- wipes saw some 'latrine duty'.   I also use RV toilet- tissue, which degrades very rapidly.  So, 'leave- no- trace' was observed. This 'system' worked OK .. Watch Casualties Of War Online Fandango. I'm curious as to a better, or more effective 'system', short of full- fledged showering with something like those solar- heated black- plastic, hanging showers.

What say you, trailspacers ??? Watch Saving Mr. Banks Online. April 1. 5, 2. 01. EDT)I use denatured alcohol and a coffee filter. If near fresh water I splash it on me using no soaps, or deodorant.

I hike alone most the time. April 1. 5, 2. 01. EDT)I find washing trail dust off on a daily basis, makes me feel great around camp.  I even wash up while snow camping, but do draw the line when temps are so cold you shiver just exposing skin to the air. If it is warm, there is little ceremony.  First I find a good stance, consisting of a rock to sit on, and a flat rock to stand on.  I get my clean underwear and camp clothes I wish to wear, and place them with my wash articles next to my cleaninig station.  If it is warm, I just fill a pot with water, grab my terry wash cloth, and wash, starting head down.  I squirt a little Castle “biodegradable” soap onto the cloth, pour some water onto it and wash a section of my body.  I then take a terry hand towel, pour some water onto one end of it and use that to remove the soap residue.  If the air chills me, I use the dry portion of the towel to dry off.  The wet portion of the towel is wringed out, rewetted, and wringed again to make it fresh. I repeat this procedure onthe next section of skin.  Typically I wash in four stages: head and neck; torso; below waist to mid calf; finishing with my feet.  If it is brisk, I heat the water.  If it is cold I wash in my tent, using a second pot to collect the dirty water wrung from the towels. As the “bath” progresses, I may place clean clothes back on the washed body parts to reduce discomfort.  I know this sounds obsessive to some, but it makes me feel like a million dollars afterwards.

April 1. 5, 2. 01. EDT)From. Sageto. Snow. TOP 1. 0 REVIEWERREVIEW CORPS5,9. Sorry to be so banal but I just use soap and water with a washcloth and use my cookpot as a sink.  I fling the grey water onto the bushes and rocks.  The other option of course is a good swim.  If you can't strip nakled in the middle of nowhere, where can you? Note to remember, if you hear a huge splash and swimming someplace in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, its best you don't go peekin'). My combat veteran friends swear by baby wipes, allowed to dry out then rehydrated prior to use. 9: 5.

April 1. 5, 2. 01. EDT)most of the time it's weekend trips for meso i wait to shower until i get home.  kinda a pig i guess.... April 1. 5, 2. 01. EDT)Bunn. 2 reviewer rep. The only thing I worry about are hands and face, primarily just to keep the threat of illness at bay.  Normally for shorter trips I will use disposable wipes and pack them out, longer trips get the biodegradable soap and water treatment.  The rest of me can wait until I get back home, of course my wife would prefer another approach. April 1. 5, 2. 01.

EDT)Unscented wipes. I have used them on multi- day trips/hunting trips and it works. Eventually you are gonna have to hit the water though.

After the wipes I rinse with a wet hand towel. The wipes work very well imho.

A washcloth, baking soda, hot water. 2: 5. April 1. 5, 2. 01. EDT)I use liquid soap, washcloth, and since I always stay near creeks, streams, and rivers - I keep myself clean that way.

I will wash more often in Spring, Summer, and Fall. But in Winter I tend to wash when needed (as long as the weather is no colder than freezing temps). I keep towelettes handy as well to spot wash. I did see that someone had said they used Denatured Alcohol. Isn't that a bit dangerous due to the methanol content and toxicity level? April 1. 5, 2. 01.

EDT)I dont know. But basicly juat my hands and face every now and again. I like cuping water in my hand and just rinsing myself. Like I said I hike alone. A plus for the alcohol is that it will kill anything it touches. If I'm wrong I would like to hear. April 1. 5, 2. 01.

EDT)OK - -  Here's the deal with alcohol:   Do not use.  I came- up with something much better:   I developed this solution / combination for my Mother, who recently passed at age 9. She had Alzheimer's Disease, and I cared for her at home for the last 5- years of her life. Seven Years Bad Luck Full Movie In English here. We (home health- care aides, nurses, and I) needed to bathe her regularly.  Between regular in- tub / shower baths, this is what we used (my home- brew 'concoction') - -I combined 3 parts "Thayer's" alcohol- free toner Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera ( about $9 per 1. Home Foods)   .. with  1 part generic Aloe Vera gel.   Mixture ( 3 : 1 ) can be varied, to suit."Thayer's" offers this Witch- Hazel in lavender, and citrus scented varieties.

This slightly thicker- than- water solution can be put into any plastic container with a lid, or lid with a snap- open/shut spout to squirt onto a wipe or cloth. I also used this solution to re- hydrate wipes in the packaged plastic containers (as they come from the store) when the wipes start getting a little dry, due to evaporation. Nurses and home health- care aides were impressed.   They even said they began to use it at home, themselves, and on other patients.

I turned- on my former- yf (wife) and a g/f  on to this, as an added solution to a container of flushable wipes in the bathroom.   I just spritzed some of the solution into the plastic container to provide additional wetness.   The ladies used these soaked, flushable wipes to clean and freshen their 'shnookies', following a pee.  I use it on my 'nether- parts', as well. I hear they spread "the News" far- and- wide to their friends.

Anyhow .. this is the way to go.   No sting (alcohol- free), and is a mild astringent.   You can gargle or clean your teeth with it, also. Maybe I should patent this (?).   Free advice from Dr. Robert, to my Trailspace friends. April 1. 5, 2. 01. EDT)Callahan. 28. Yes, 1. 0+ days was also my longest while racing and at the end of the event my GF gave me a quick kiss and then stood back, obviously I must have smelt a little.

My choice for cleanliness while adventuring is a small texture pack towel/cloth and a tiny bottle of wilderness wash or similar.  Along with finding a camp site near a clean creek or a hose along the way makes a big change to wipe down with water, then wipe with soap, then rinse off.  If by a creek then it does become a longer more bath like wash. No deodorant, no towelettes or baby wipes as all this is too heavy and too bulky. April 1. 5, 2. 01. EDT)Bath, but I took my yearly bath last year? I usually just use a bandana soaked in the water nearby. Then as my mother used to say who grew up on the Praire of Kansas, I wash down as far as possible, up as far as possible, then wash possible.. April 1. 5, 2. 01.

EDT)i. Climb. 13. On my trips, I typically just use sanitizing wet wipes.
