What's the deal with the pine tar soap? Is there a particular reason, ie is there a benefit to using it or is it just personal preference?

Tar soap smells good, helps against superficial inflammations and masks the fact that you ran out of toilet paper and the leaves on hand are too small......
:)

A slight anti mosquito effect too.

it also lets you be in nature without smelling human and scaring away animals with your scent, it is also great for eczema and other skin issues and there is no better soap on the planet for avoiding things like athletes foot or crotch rot, makes you smell like you have been mating with pine trees too like some sort of man-bear-ent

Just spent a warm week in the woods and ill be honest the wet wipes routine quickly lost its appeal.
What do folks havd in their wash kit ( small enough to fit in a pack and carry)

There's nowt worse, in its way, than using wet wipes before shaving and realising (or not) that you've left little strands of tissue snagged all over your beard stubble.

Mine has pocket mirror, razor, spare blades, shaving brush, face flannel, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, nail brush, nail clippers, nail file, nail brush, tweezers, scissors, sticking plasters, antiseptic cream, aspirin/anti-inflammatory tabs, plus insect repellent and anti-anaphylaxis tablets in season when wasps are about.

You have your pet mule with you?

Why shave? Stubble makes a good mosquito screen, it slowes them down....
