2 weeks in the Lake district camping. Walked just over 80 miles and slept rough. Picked up food at local shops.

Didn't wash once. Stops bothering you after a couple of days.

Haven't used soap since this trip 11 years ago and all skin problems I had (bad Eczema) went away literally within a week.

How do you wash your hair? Do you wash your hair? Do you scrub with a non-soapy cloth on your body? Sorry for the intrusion, just very curious.
Just water. And I only do that once a week. I use my hands to wash myself, nothing else.

I went through a phase of bad Eczema where my hands would bleed. This put an end to it.

I use shampoo soap bars from Lush to wash my hands before eating - that is it.
