Look on Lurch's site, he sells dry wash towels which work very well.

On the walk to the camp up spot without water ,soak a tee shirt with water and stick it in a poly bag or two it will stay wet for a long time ,mix with some soap and voila, a wash that night and the next morning ,wring out the tee shirt and hang over ruck sack and you have one cleanish tee shirt

Microfibre cleaning cloths

They're wonder stuff-one soaped, one for rinsing.

Edinburgh is called "Auld Reekie" on account of it's chimneys, not it's aversion to Imperial Leather (or Fairy Liquid for you lot at Hogmanay).

I could quite happily keep this slaging going all night but i am bowing out ,I have to go and pack for the weekend ,am off to Loch Etive canoeing and camping

Just for you Loch Etive is one of the many magical lochs we have over on the west coast with stunning views, which is far better than the muddy puddles you call lochs over your way

Er, getting back on the topic, I prefer to use cotton face flannels. Hardly uses any water, you can even wash in the condensation from under your tarp, tent or flysheet.

Carry a spray bottle of water mixed with a little drop of scent. Keeps you feeling fresh. Or check out savers or superdrug I got some aftershave wipes and deodorant wipes from there.

hhhhhhmm, some good ideas there, think i might just go with the extra litre of pre-made washing water, with a micro fibre towel...

never know its November, it might just rain (the whole time)...

thanks people

I will have you know i have a wash once a month whether i need it or not...

I bathe twice a year; once at Christmas, and then again at New Year to get it over with.

 

[gowersponger]

a shower gel bottle 1qtr filled with 3qtr filled with water should do the trick for a good few washes , but like you say just hope for rain.

Or snow, it makes a good cleanser if you're brave enough

Could you use smoke from the fire? Would that have any benefit? I swear I saw someone do it on a magic screen of some sort.

 

[rik_uk3]

Roll on deodorant, do you need to wash if its only two or three days? Just keep your hands clean and change your socks and pants.

id normaly just strip of and get in the stream etc, the colder it is the warmer you feel when your dryish and dressed....
