Observance of rules of hygiene in a hike
As it has appeared, for the girls going for the first time in a hike, very much a vital topic how to get freshness in the end of day or, simply speaking, to provide to itself so necessary right to « water procedures ». Lena Sirenko - turistka, repeatedly uchastvovashaja in our hikes shares the experience in this question. To girls, and also that,To whom the statement of a cat of Matroskin is not clear:
« … the some people and language wash.. »,-
It is devoted:
I am an average girl at whom an arsenal of jars with application at various times day for different parts of a body, fairly, not small, therefore, very much even I understand how it is heavy to force to leave itself even one of so irreplaceable tubes. But … after means on leaving(care) are spread out on a table, it becomes clear, that all is necessary perepolovinit, and even perechetvertinit. Nevertheless, believe, for a week of irreversible changes to your appearance will not occur(happen). It is clear, that elementary leaving(care), a feed(meal) and humidifying it is necessary for a leather(skin), but here the main thing without fanaticism. (if my husband would read, by all means would give pair shutochek: concept of "fanaticism" at all a miscellaneous. You would know, I should resort to what tricks what "to stretch" on family advice(council) the list of " necessary things » … But it is other history …)
As if to procedures of bathing in a hike … Here all depends on your desire, parking for the night is always stipulated at a spring. Water - invigorating, but, believe, after hot day if you really would like to be washed, even the cool of evening will not stop you.
Here pair parting words:
* do not postpone water procedures for a long time after arrival for a parking lot, but also the egoist to be it is not necessary, since needs(requirements) of a tribe first of all! Even, if you very much ustali after long transition and to you it seems, that on arrival you can be shot down, as the tired out(driven) horse, do not hasten(hurry) with conclusions. As shows an expert, it is necessary to remove(take off) a backpack, and there is yet not spent charge of energy which quite will suffice at whom as, but a minimum of minutes on 40 - it is exact. And for this time it is quite possible to be in time, if it is rational to divide(undresse) duties, to kindle a fire, to be reserved by water, to break tent and to start water procedures, substituting each other in preparation of a supper …
* If water cold - be pleased, and the more coldly, the be more pleased. It is checked up: the below the temperature of water, the becomes warmer after a shower. And to be warmed actively myltes, be then pounded by a towel. And thus think positively: represent the sensations after, behind a cup of tea at a fire, which are smelling sweet freshness of soap; and also as procedures of douche are useful. It is possible to recollect yogas, monks in Tibet, or still something, that causes in you feeling of determination.
* Choose a place far away from a spring. First, it is not necessary to pollute the territory, and secondly, it is usual places at which springs are located, are not so picturesque. An another matter, romashkovoe a field, or a slope of mountain. Romanticism!!! Though here too it is necessary to be cautious. As has shown an expert, bottles have property to slip out soap hands and to fall downwards during the most improper moment …
* Pick up to itself the suitable company. In last hike from a female half except for me there was one more girl. To spend water procedures together much more cheerfully. The related soul in this case will experience also temperature; also will encourage during the necessary moment; will frighten off a mosquito if it is necessary; will help(assist) to find the lost soap; will stop in time if all of you dare to rush downwards for slipped out of wet hands of a bottle, and later, will protect from punishment of the owner of the lost bottle; will share the remained water, the first "brrrr" and "gaaahhhhh" will tell with you unanimously, and it is a lot of still that …
* And for acceptance of a shower 3 litres of water with a condition quite suffice, that as a washing-up liquid usual soap is used. By the way, as container it is possible to use any improvised means, we already in a hike somehow argued on this theme: as a scoop the marching hat if your boots in a good condition, can use and them very well approaches(suits). But it only in the event that you have managed to lose during bathing all bottles. I recommend to be extremely cautious and close(attentive), and to use traditional container.
* it is better to wash the Head nevertheless since morning when the sun above, understand, why … thus if want water more warmly, fill with her(it) bottles since evening. If also it(this) to you will seem a little, water can be heated up on a fire. However to do(make) it it is necessary in advance chtooby to not detain gathering of camp.
* With the same purpose morning washing and cleaning of a teeth can be made not at a spring, and it is direct in camp, by means of a bottle. It will relieve of superfluous bustle and from turns at a watering place.
Well, here, apparently, all remarks. Add the comments, share experience. It is very interesting to know, possible(probable), other sight at a situation.
