how do you fix the issue smelly armpit in the wilderness?

do you bring along deodorant? can baking soda relieve smelly armpit odor?

When hunting I use non sented wipes. Same when solo in avid bear country. For general outing or when winter camping then I usually bring pit stick,No bugs or bears to worry about then.

I use wipes and unscented soap.

what is a pit stick /

Oh.... Around these parts it's a slang term for deodorant. Sorry about that.

I don't much worry about smelly pits when in the wilderness.

Soap or wipes. Or sometimes I just 'forget' to take my allergy pills.

The original plain white Ivory soap works well.

Rubbing alcohol, methanol, or waterless hand washing gel. Methanol/denatured alcohol can fuel a stove, disinfect splinter forceps, and provide a highly efficient local cleansing. Disinfects as it cleans. Lighter than water, for a given volume. Makes one smell like a brewery, briefly. Not for internal use. Not for use on broken skin. Don't wash up near an open flame. We used to use rubbing alcohol/isopropanol for back rubs and cooling the fevered child, until we decided that inhaling the concentrated vapors was ill-advised: try not to inhale while cleansing. Some sort of alcohol is often a component of wet wipes.

Tequila would suffice in a pinch. I have never used wine for bathing, but would suggest a dry white, crisp and a bit woody. Champagne baths are a popular indulgence in luxury spas, and one should never venture into the wilds without a magnum of Dom.

You don't. Disregard the issue until you return home.

The vintage soap ad portrays a highly polluting practice.
