I just found a cool thing in the baby aisle
of the grocery store. They are portable, disposable washcloths. They are dry
and you get them wet and they have soap in them. The cool thing is you can
THROW them away. No more wet wash cloths hanging in your camper to dry. Wet
wipes are also a great thing to have around. Great for a quick clean up on
face and neck and for adding to your vet box for outchecks. Feels really
great and cools you off on a hot day to wash the grime off
your face and neck at vet checks.
In our trailer, I have installed an oval "Muck
Bucket". I found it somewhere and recognized its possibilities as
a bath tub. One can stand in it and take a sponge bath. I
can either kneel in it and take a sponge bath, or if I pull my knees up
under my chin :-)), I can take a sitz bath. We just heat a kettle
full of water to boiling, add cool water to the correct temp, and bathe
away! It's not luxury, but it works. Anything is
almost luxury after one has done high Sierra backpacking for many
years, and the only bath you get is in 40 degree (or colder)
water. And we don't spill water on the floor...just drag it
outside and empty on the ground.
