Just make sure you wash your hands and face FIRST!

I, on more than one occasion, hacked off my own underwear to take care of business while in the woods....granted, this was before the baby wipes were invented, back in the dark ages of the late 60's and early 70's...

OK, it's all over once I put this down, there will NEVER be an end to it...  Have you guy's considered...

Unscented baby wipes.

They come in a smaller "soft sided" pack (not just the big platic boxs).  Do the job much more efficiently, and they can also be used to wash hands and arms, or even wipe down all over for kind of a "dry shower" if your in the woods overnight.  They actually work very well.

Commence with your mockery!      

No mockery at all. Its a trick I learned in ROTC from a pretty hardcore Sgt. Major. I've also helped my step dads' law office put toghther care packages for one of the secretary's son who is in Iraq. The idea is to send stuff for his platoon. One of the most requested items was baby wipes, it almost edged out M@Ms and items which shall remain nameless.

Baby wipes are great . the small plastic covered packages of kleneex work real well if wieght and space and smell is an issue

You are right baby wipes are a god send when you are deployed.

   Eric must still be busy searching for a picture of a adirondack chair strapped to some guys back.   

A buddy told me about the baby wipes in deer camp years ago, my whole family has been using them on camping trips since. 

Just remember scented stuff is liable to draw bears that you may not want sniffing down there!

Has anyone thought of the WOMEN!!!!

Baby Wipes are always a "must have" item...

Something that I have found that is superior to baby wipes are make-up remover wipes. Same concept but seem to remove grease and hardcore dirt better than your typical baby wipe. Learned that from removing camo face paint. Also, you were talking about women. I have about a half dozen tampons in my BOB, both for their intended use, and they make great little trauma bandages due to their ability to soak up alot of blood.

I know I'm going to catch hell for this info, but it works, and I'd rather sacrifice a little dignity than too many pints of blood.

I've heard that before about tampons, in fact I think they developed some wound packing material from them.

I like this stuff for the bad bleeders:

   Urgent QR

QR Powder is composed of a non-toxic mixture that, once applied to the wound, adheres to the wound tissue, absorbing and interacting with its fluids to form a Hematrix scab. This unique cover stops the bleeding, protects the wound, and allows the body’s own mechanism to begin healing.
