Actually, he meant "mouse" and lucky for us those are easy to find in
shelters all along the trail. Just rub the little guy in your hair (or
beard) and his fur will clean you right up.

They also make a fine appetizer....


Seriously, GMW, you'll be fine if you do a little basic cleanup in camp,
then shower and do laundry every 3-5 days in town or at hostels, etc. I've
had my girls out for a couple of weeks on the trail, and it wasn't really a
big deal. (One is mid-40s and one is late teens.)
