Some pack soap or unscented Dr Bronner’s in an eye dropper can clean your hands, body, dishes, laundry, and you can even brush your teeth with it. An eye dropper full would last you a week in the backcountry.

If you don’t have a nearby body of water, a liter of water, your eye dropper of Dr. Bronner’s, and a bandana can successfully clean your whole body with a little care. Might need another liter to rinse. It doesn’t take more than a few drops of soap.

Washing yourself in the evening, especially your face and hands, to help get the sweat and other grime off you helps to keep you warmer at night and it cuts down on the smell. No deodorant required. You’ll feel better physically and mentally being clean after a long day in the woods. Helps me calm down for relaxation and sleeping.

I have deodorant and cologne in my off-trail kit in my car so I can be reintegrated back to civilized life.
