algene/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. <snip>

Comment....

Realize that his topic morphed into two parallel, related, but also
separate, threads - washing one's body and washing one's clothes.
Comments about using ziplocks are relevant (mostly) to clothes. The above
to people. Comments about the cutoff bottom of a container (or a folding
water dish) generally to both.
