Hey,

I am late coming in to this conversation, I went on a fishing/cookout trip with my family today.

I often have had to stay in the bush working or hunting for extended periods of time, after a while getting clean feels great and really helps camp moral.

We have used a solar shower in the summer and filled it with heated water in the spring/fall. It works well and you can get a reasonable shower on 2 gallons of water (turn off the water when you soap-up).

Here is an ugly picture for you all. We have a large metal watering can that we would heat-up over the stove or fire, then one guy would stand in the back of the truck and "water" his partner clean. Not for the shy and I am glad there were no cameras around.

Lately I have been using "No Rinse" products found here http://www.norinse.com/outdoorproducts.htm

With very little water they allow you to get clean and no water is needed to wash your hair. After using the products you feel clean, there is no need to rinse off and you smell a heck of a lot better.

In winter we use body wipes before getting into the sleeping bag at night, not the best but better than nothing. We started keeping these in the hunt camp outhouse year-round.

There ya go,

Mike
