    o.k i am a total noob at camping but how do keep clean during camping for a long peroid of time? for example: keeping your hair clean and body clean and smelling fresh..
    now i don't mean camping then go indooors i mean being outdoors for a very long time without the use of showers and such...

    Whats a very long time?

    For week long trips i suggest:
    jumping in a creek
    dry shampoo(baking soda)
    wet cloth/baby wipes
    hand sanitizer

    try not to jump in the mud if you can avoid it. keep covered with synthetic easily cleanable clothing.

    are those any good for the long term? like will they actually clean your body and are good for your body rather than just add some chemicals to the layer of your skin?

    oh and btw i am talking like 2 months or so...

    If your going to be in the woods why do you care if you smell good and such?

    follow the water and make sure you jump in every once in a while.

    Also you say you are a camping noob, why 2 months. you will probably be in over your head.
