Aloe vera plants are the closest we have to natural soap. Grows everywhere. Keep the outer skin on and chew it a bit and it makes a great toothbrush too FYI. Tastes like ass though.

The wife and I have an understanding, if it comes time for true panic, she will relinquish all decisions to me. She has seen me in some pretty hairy situations before and I have yet to disappoint. (yet being the key)

I dunno, a year supply of soap isn't very much to me. I go through maybe one bar every 2 months showering daily.

I think out in the desert that you would be in the same boat as me with the baby wipes and hand wipes. no?

I've never tried my hand at making soap but that is on the to-do list once I move up north and have a garage again. I want to do it completely from scratch with self rendered fat, wood ash, and all the other fun stuff.
