taking deoderant? yay or nay?

Do you use it as deodorant and then toothpaste, or the other way around.

my toothbrush tickles my underarms, am i doing this right?

I just use rubbing alcohol. A few cotton balls and you can clean up pretty well and it kills most everything that is going to cause you to stink. I don't worry about drying out the skin so much cause you will be getting oily and dirty soon enough. As for areas that you don't want rubbing alcohol on, well I just use it there too! Tingles a bit, but kind of refreshing in a sadistict way.

After a long hike though...I keep a bottle of febreeze in the truck for us on the way home...there aren't enough windows to roll down. So a couple of squirts on the clothes we are wearing and everyone becomes liveable.

I keep a bag of "go home clothes" in the truck. If you can get into or near water, then clean clothes, it helps. Lots of water in Maine.

ZERO odor and works quite well and weighs very little.But then if you

Available at Wal-Mart. Will not work on hiker funk. About as effective as planting a flower next to a gut pile.

Won't work. Use baby butt wipes with rubbing alcohol added to them on your smelly parts at night.

I've never met anyone that uses crystals that actually work. I've met ones that think they are working though.

Those crystals are no different than the balls you use instead of detergent in your washing machine. Any effect is in your mind.

...sorry, back to the body odor discussion...

[TACKLE]

Anybody ever heard of a Wonder Bar? It's stainless steel and weighs an ounce and a half,and is the size of a half used bar of Dove soap. When rubbed against the body in cold water(the colder the better),it really does remove odors. Turns out that any SS will do the same thing under cold water. This is light,rounded,and eco-friendly. Of course if it's freezing out,it's useless. Also don't expect to magically get out that ode thru-hiker stench after months on The Trail. It needs to be used as you go.

ALOHA,

i plan to eat loads of garlic and onions each night to poison mosquitoes and other bitey critters no bug spray but i have found if you mix grade a honey with olive oil to break it down a bit then mix that with some blueberry scented hand lotion can be absolutely fabulous to wear in the wild all you smell is honey and blueberrys without the stickyness ( little bit oily at first till it soaks in)

[sofaking]

why would you want to smell like a muffin?
