I went hunting many years ago for a 2 week trip of NO stores NO nothing except a tent and a few goodies we packed.
Well quite a few goodies.
I have no idea what reminded me of this but cleaning and taking a bath in the frozen water was not really all that bad after a couple days of no washing.
My skin is really oily and it gets in my eyes and irritates me.
I must wash.
Tips.
Ivory soap floats.
Dig hole and poop into it and cover it with dirt from hole and place big rock over it.
DO not Move big rocks to dig a hole to poop into.
This rock keeps the dog from eating your poop which is very important especially if you are naked taking a bath in the frozen water.
Dog grabs your clothes and runs off with POO POO breath. Now you must wash clothes.
Dogs like Ivory soap.. good to clean bad dog breath.
Plastic lawn and leaf bags are handy.
You can hide under them in a rain storm.
You can dig a hole and place one in it and add cold water and then hot boiling water to make a poor boy sink to wash in.
Wrap your clothes up tight in them and place in ice chest to keep them dry even if your boat flips over.
We had good times many years ago and would stay out roughing it for a long time with no electronics and ate what we killed and caught.
Of course there were beans and potatoes and onions.
Yes we took toilet paper.
Not roughing it too much you know.
had a rule for some time you could not open any food items or cook any food items until you caught a fish or killed something.
About starved one day.
Then buddy grabbed a raw potato and began eating it..HEY!!
He said i did not open anything and did not cook anything.
I said give me one of those!
Shortly after that I caught a small channel cat.. temps were 10 above.
Rabbit slow cooked on the side of the fire was heaven.
