Susan,

It is possible to bathe pretty thoroughly with just a quart of water. You would need to be in a place that will give you the privacy you want, AND to be able to pour the water over you. (not in your tent)

Wet down your (very wet) washcloth and apply soap lightly. Do this all over. You will have used one washcloth full of your qt. of water. To rinse off, use your washcloth again and again to wring out water over you for rinsing. Don't pour from the water container. You will be amazed at how clean you will feel.

Next time you have a little extra time, prepare a Qt. of water and try this method while standing in your bathtub/shower at home. We learned to do it the hard way by using too much soap and not preparing enough water for the rinse-down. I had to resort to another rinsing session with cold water.
