[pct-l] Soap?

[Ellen Shopes]

I carry a sliver of one of the harder soaps, but rarely (never) use it.  I 
save it for cleaning wounds, and other important necessities.  I have never 
liked the idea of introducing soap into water systems.  As a desert person, 
I treat water like it's best saved for drinking.  I clean up daily when I 
hike, but usually use just a bit of water on a bandana to wipe down with. 
Some native Americans believed in air/steam baths; in the dry air of the 
desert, I take air baths when I can.
