[pct-l] Baby Wipes

[g l]

Reminds me of an experience that Eric Ryback describes in one of his books, about his hike along the............ummmm, I think it was the CDT.  He and his brother were dying of thrist with no hope of water for miles.  They finally happened on a cabin in the middle of no where.  Apparently there was a barrel outside filled with cool, clear liquid.  He took a big swig!!!!  Ah.........how refreshing!  A big gulp of kerosene........or gasoline........or something like that.  (It's been awhile since I read the book, but I remember the gist of the story).....EEEEEEEWWWWWW!!

Best solution:  Wipe with Jack Daniels, or your own personal favorite hiking companion!!!  8>).  (This is not meant as a slam to any hiker named Jack Daniels).

So when you are  done with your baby wipes, you can eat them instead of carrying alcohol to  drink.  This gives the dual use and helps to keep your pack lighter.   Reduce, reuse, recycle.
  
 Another thing you can do (are you listening  Switchback.  There's money in this one.)  Sprinkle Emergen C, powdered  Gatorade or any powdered drink on it, before you eat it.  They all come in  a variety of flavors.  Mixed drinks.  This is also important if your  first use of the baby wipe is to clean up.
  
 Dual use, one item, good backpacking method.
