On a longer trip, I'll heat
Sunday January 4th 2009On a longer trip, I'll heat up some water and use a wash cloth to clean up some. It takes time, but after a few days in the same shirt, it shirt feels good. I'm sure on a nice day you could just take a dunk and then wash up on the shore. I guess the main concern is getting soap in the water, you don't want to pollute the water with soap, biodegradable or not.
Bathing
Sunday January 4th 2009I have heard you can bathe in the water as long as you are a certain distance from the shore. I have talked to people that say they always bathe nude and sometimes when they are out of sight even canoe nude I didnt think that was allowed and was wondering if it is.
I haven't seen any dress
Monday January 5th 2009I haven't seen any dress code in the BWCA, just be careful you don't suddenly come upon an occupied campsite in the buff.
A few years ago we were canoeing along (fully dressed) and saw a campsite up a head with some campers that appeared to be skinny dipping. When we got closer, the campsite looked deserted. We figured they saw us and ran for cover.
