Washing with limited water

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Flannel or a baby sponge, pan of hot water, not much needed half full then wash face arms groin feet daily.

As Lister above said in this order face, pits, feet, privates, backside.
Biodegradable liquid soap is a good idea also

Years ago before running water people stood naked in a bowl of water and wash themselves with limited water.

This is exactly what I have done and spoke about in my first post on this thread, to build an off grid shower and toilet.
It's very easy. I got a cheap pressure sprayer from liddell, for the grand sum of £10 and I already had the shower sprayer on my garden hose and as the hose needs replacing , I repurposed the sprayer onto my shower, so it was a very cheap solution.
The toilet, I built myself(sorry, skipped that part of the video) from a large bucket, and a clip on toilet seat that fits perfectly I found in a charity shop.
Total cost, £8.00 for a new bucket, (it is a big one as I don't like being too low, I struggle to get off it)And the clip on seat was £2.00. A lucky find for sure.
So £20 had me a complete off grid bathroom. I'm still on the look out for a toilet tent at the charity shop. Mind you, I won't be using this outdoors in the winter, so I'm not too worried if I don't find one.
