OK......

How do the non-sink folk wash the soap off their person after washing up? I don't want to jump to any erroneous conclusions but my temp is starting to rise.




I don't know much, but I do know THAT statement IS judgmental, right or wrong.

Is being judgmental a bad thing (even when it comes from what is VERY LIKELY the earth stewardship ethical high ground)?

I don't know.  Hey, at least we know where the guy stands.  It's the indignant flavor of the statement that sort of jumps out at me ("but my temp is starting to rise").

My experience is: 1) most folks don't wish to be publicly judged (they'd prefer to be quietly "educated"), and 2) he/she who "judges", in turn, invites the world to judge him/her (to cast the 2nd stone, so to speak).

Being a judge and hanging a target on my own back seems like a lonely position to take.  I'm not saying it's wrong.  I'm just saying it seems lonely.

MT, I think the point you made was a valuable one.  On the other hand, I think the way you made it is not likely to win friends & influence people in the manner you intended.  To each his own.  Wear what colors you will.

I'll give you this, though.  You're not afraid to stand up, be counted... & possibly stoned.

Jimbo   Cool

P.S. An example of exercising the "judgmental" prerogative of a Moderator (albeit not of this forum) in the interest of promoting healthy & courteous discussion, not fist fights, about our dish water.

".....How do you rinse off Mike? Or is it Prouboy? Or is it Puckster? A simple question deserves simple answers. A sink is the obvious water carrying solution"

duh - I would have thought that the obvious rinsing solution would be a solar shower, not a bucket

on a two week trip, I'll bring one - a solar shower that is, not a sink.

don't cook - don't have to wash dishes - don't need sink - just rinse well with a couple of rounds of boiling water (er, the utensils, not me)

Sorry jimmar.  MT is an easy target but I can't seem to get this log out of my own eye to notice the speck in his.

Now then, at the request of a friend, let's keep it to washing your dirty crockery and kitchen sinks here.  If you want to start a thread on your personal hygiene there is a way to do that.

Thank you Jimbo, you have read me like a book. I suppose I should excercise my "tactful" self a bit more often but winning friends and influencing people was never a high priority with me. I had a friend once and I thought it was overrated......you had to spend time with them, call them, make them dinner, etc,etc

Solar shower Mad Mat, thank you. Pretty simple response and solution. That is why I inquired, alternatives did not readily come to my mind. I'm still dubious however and not as optimistic as I should be concerning this subject.

I would take a very hard line if anyone thought it was OK to rinse off in the lake and I'm not afraid to be disliked for pointing it out. I did it once almost 30 years ago and I have never forgotten the vague sense of guilt that I felt. So I am a transgressor.

Ok.....enough of that. Back to the land of sinkdom..........which can BTW doubles nicely for carrying water back.....never mind  Lips Sealed

Wow! I didn't realize all of the moral & ethical boundaries that could be violated by using the wrong sink. Thanks to Jimbo & PJ for restoring sanity.

I also carry a kitchen sink (Sea to Summit) - same one for the last 7n or 8 years.  I find it very useful for carrying water and doing dishes. It weighs nothing and takes very little space. Mostly, though, I just like to be able to tell people that I bring everything including the kitchen sink.

Here is a product that may interest: Druide Ecotrail Multi Purpose Soap.  They claim it is biodegradable, phosphate free, made from 100% ingredients of natural origin and that it biodegrades immediately in water (it doesn't need microorganisms found in soil to biodegrade.)  It is highly concentrated so you only need to use a drop or two for body or dishes.  Because it is so concentrated you don't have to carry much even on a long trip.  Now whether or not it is all that it claims, I can't say.  But according to the folks at Mountain Equipment Co-op it's bone fide.

I don't know about others, but I either use a cooking pot filled with filtered water or bring the whole gallon (clean water reservoir) along with me.

I've read the comments about MT's "temperature" post, and I'd like to share a different view.  The way I read it was that he was getting a little upset about something (dunno what it was) and was practicing mindful self-discipline.  I thought that was admirable.  It would have been nice to have more information, but it didn't matter because of the self-containment.
