Re: [Philmont]: bathing simplified

A while back this topic was kicked around as an aside to another topic (I
forget which).

Anyway one of the aside posts talked about using a wash cloth (bandanna,
kerchief, etc.) and the water from a (treated or untreated) nalgene/camelback
container.

Here were the steps: wet the cloth, add soap, scrub, rinse the cloth,
wipe/rinse soap off (couple of times as needed, you're done.

Made a lot of sense to me and means one less thing to carry.

If in doubt, try it in the back yard or on the next training trek before
Philmont.
