Keeping clean in the backcountry

[TagEater]

Boys — if you’re backpack (or dry camp) hunting and want to stay clean without hauling extra weight, Scrubzz wipes are the move.


I discovered them this year and it is a full on level-up. They’re no-rinse, no sticky crap, and way lighter than packing soap, towels, or a camp shower. They actually clean (antibacterial, not just perfume-wipe your filth around) and one little packet does a full face/body wipe-down without needing water.


I’ve tried the usual baby wipes… not even close. These hit harder, take up basically no space, and keep you from smelling like a wounded goat by day three.


Have you found anything better?

Alcohol wipes do as well or better and serve dual purpose.

Just don't mix them up with your Dude wipes.

I know a guy who got the Clorox wipes bag confused with the baby wipes bag before heading to the port-a-john.

No way you are washing your hair with an alcohol wipe

Twice a day. I get into my bed, (pad and quilt) clean, every night.

Isn't that called bleaching?

Smokey fire get the stank off, it has anti microbial properties so not just a cover scent!

Have to check out scrubzz, baby wipes ain't cutiing it, I have packed in dried out wipes and add water in the field.

What I do to stay clean in the back country is absolutely nothing. I wipe my ass with baby wipes and shower when I get home.

I know some guys are more smelly than others between showers. Maybe I am just lucky. But I've never felt the need to do anything extra in terms of hygiene while I'm out.

Anyone else expect Steven rinella to pop up and say “when you’re in the backcountry, don’t forget your own backcountry…..”

Good grief I hate ads

Sorry, no help to OP.

After you reach about the two week mark without a shower, either your body stops stinking or you can’t smell it anymore, not sure which - another benefit of solo hunting.

Seems like my clothes is what actually stinks, especially the plastic stuff (poly)

I will have 5 trips over a week long this year. The most I ever did was rub a wet wipe under my pits and cleaned up the sack halfway through. Cut your hair short and send it.

You actually wash your hair in the backcountry?

Coin towels/portawipes. Super compact but expands when rehydrated. Use one to wipe down at the end of day, then save that used one as toilet paper. Wet wipes are convenient but also carrying around more water weight.
