I've been studying up on the various methods of trapping & fishing for survival purposes, mostly due to watching a bunch of Survivorman episodes lately. There's a lot of info out there on acquiring and cooking fish & small game.

But it raised this question: in a survival situation, how do you clean up yourself & your knife after butchering fish/game? Wouldn't any animal fluids & tissue that remain on you or your gear become breeding grounds for getting ill?

I'm sure there are ways to deal with this problem. I'm curious to know what's most effective and efficient.
