I shower during the daytime since I shower at the University, but occasionally I do chores at night that get me grimy enough not to want to go to bed in such a state. But I have no running water in the cabin and don't want to go back into town just for a shower. Enter the cabin bath.
Materials:
Mixing bowl
Dr. Bronner's
Hot water
Washcloth
Bath towel
2 1-liter plastic bottles. Finally a use for those polycarbonate bottles now that we are told not to drink from them since they ooze poison!
Instructions:
Half fill mixing bowl with warm water and a squirt of Doc B's. Insert washcloth.
Fill 2 liters of warm water.
Put washcloth in bowl.
Strip nekkid, peek out door to make sure no-one is passing on the street.
Wrap bath towel around self, shout at dogs to STAY, and dash outside and around to the back of the cabin.
Scrub everything scrubbable with the washcloth, then pour what's left of the soapy water over head and scrub head with fingertips.
Rinse with 2 liters of warm water.
Ta-da! Tingle fresh and clean and ready to teach the moral ABC!!! All one God faith!!!!!

sounds miserable... but from a more practical standpoint, shouldn't you just skip the soap or at least putting it in your hair? there's no way you can rinse it with that little water? especially in your hair!
Oh, yes you can! It's the magic of Dr. Bronner's! On the other hand, there's no way you can clean yard grime without soap.
