dr.bronner's peppermint soap! multipurpose, versatile. toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, shaving cream, laundry and dish detergent all in one! amazing aint it? no water is no problem for me either, no rinse body bath and shampoo. for nature's call, i dig and bury and wipe with no rinse bath wipes (i split 1 sheet in half ). this is my first post in the hiking community (i think)!

say what? it'll be long gone by the time we get home. besides, that's how you're supposed to do it.

i get most of my supplies from army shops, some online, some in my neighborhood. i use campsuds too aside from its versatility, it's earthfriendly. i also bury my crap. it's organic!

I use dr bronners too, no rinse wipes for the babies. When I was still in school, a buddy brought Coleman's camp shower. Didn't like it much, defeats the purpose of camping.

i agree. use only when absolutely necessary, not like you're in a tub.
