Sierra Dawn Concentrated Campsuds, 8 oz.

This product reminds me of a product I used to use years ago, salt water soap. The wife and i went on a 3 day camping/sailing trip in our little 17' Windrider. Since this product can be used on everything from body, hair, clothing, dishes, etc, etc...it was worth a try; plus, only needed to pack one soap.We used it for cleaning up the dishes after cooking on the beach. It worked well...but the true test was yet to come. After all the other folks left and we were finally alone on the beach...it was time to shower. Since we camping on the Gulf of Mexico, it is salt water. We took a little swim, then using our swim suits like a washcloth, we lathered up. Making suds with just a few drops is not difficult and it would be easy to use too much of the soap...basically just wasting it. This way, both us and our swim suits would be clean. We did a quick dip back in the water and then gently poured fresh water over us for the final rinse. No more smell...all clean and no sticky residue from the salt water. OK...I'm sold!In October (next month) we are planning a 5 day camping sailing trip in the 10,000 Islands area of the Everglades National Park (along the Gulf of Mexico). We will have our Campsuds packed and ready for use and it will be our only soap. I would happily recommend this to my friends and family that enjoy overnighting in the great outdoors. And for the record...our swimsuits (as mentioned above) were dry the next morning and were completely odorless. Great Product! Thanks.

This soap has been excellent for camping. It rinses off easily and quickly, it cleans great too. Grease no match for this stuff. We use it for handsoap too which works great for short term, but overuse can lead to dried out hands. Still, this is a must have for washing and cleaning about anything when camping. Beats Dawn hands down because you're not wasting water trying to rinse it off. My only complaint is it's a little overpriced, at least the one I bought.

Love this soap for camping. Super concentrated so a teeny bit goes a long way. Multiple uses; we no longer have to have individual dish, hand, and laundry soaps. Lathers quickly and rinses easily. Light scent that smells clean - not over-powering at all. I am sensitive to strong smells and this does not bother me at all. It can also be used for face and hair, but we have yet to try that. Highly recommend!

This soap is impressively strong and it works very well. It also is as eco-friendly as it gets. I have used it to bathe and wash dishes, even clean out cuts, and I'm still *twitch* perfectly fine.If you are using Leave No Trace ethics in the backcountry, this is the best option I've found, but don't let it get directly into the water as it will still cause problems. Use it on land and try to keep the runoff confined to a hole in the ground if you can so the stuff has time to strain out in the dirt and degrade before it runs into waterways.

Being in the military usually involves periods where you are separated from normal comforts...like nice hot showers, normal food, and real toilets.Many people think that military men and women are used to being filthy and don't perform any kind of hygiene when "in-the-field."Now it's true you get the occasional Private Stank-Ass who refuses to do any type of hygiene and walks around with mud-butt and crusty socks; Most Soldiers, Marines, etc. enjoy the opportunity to clean ourselves when we have the opportunity.After I heard we would be in the field for a few weeks, I decided baby wipes and hand-sanitizer alone wouldn't cut it. My goal was to be the freshest soldier in the field and live up to the nick name my LT gave me...Private Poppin-Fresh.In the past, I've used all sorts of crazy things such as "waterless" body wash and shampoo...Problem is most of these smell like ass.I decided I needed to try a different approach - Real soap and water. Now the problem in the field is you still can't exactly strip down completely naked for a nice, lathery shower, unless you love SHARPS complains and ticks on your junk.I had to use a different approach. I found that by squirting a bit of Campsuds, hand sanitizer, and some extra water into a thing of baby wipes you get instant wash cloths...They actually lather and get you clean. By the way, when I say, "lather", I mean it. This stuff creates a nice lather...not big bubbles, but the smaller ones that get into all the little cracks and crevices. With a bit of water from your canteen or whatever, you can rinse most of it off, and then with a towel (don't forget to bring a towel), you can wipe yourself down and feel fresh fresh. Well that's almost true. In all actuality, you'll have a bit of soap and baby wipe residue left, leaving you feel a little sticky for about a half-hour until you completely dry.In case you're wondering how well this works for shaving...well it depends on your face. No really. For my face, I am unable to shave within 48 hours of my last shave or else I will look like I lost a fight with a weed-whacker. I tried to use this instead of shaving cream, but all I got instead was pain and regret...and blood. To make things worse, the chin-strap of my Kevlar (helmet) was even more irritating to my now skinless chin.Anyways, I digress...The other benefit of such sudsy soap is that you can wash your socks and underwear with very little soap. This is especially good for when you're eating nothing but MRE's and your stinky, paint peeling farts embed themselves into the fabric of your boxers (and space-time). Just a dab of Campsuds and some water to work a nice lather, rinse, and air dry.All in all, this stuff is pretty good. The only reason why it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because I am not too fond of the smell. I wouldn't say it smells bad, but it's certainly not manly like Old Spice. I wish there were different scents that you can chose from.In short, if you're looking to stay fresh in the field, look no further than Campsuds. As long as you have enough water, you're set.

I have found that camp suds is great for any number of outdoor activities, hiking, long distance bike rides/camping, hiking/camping etc. I really like the fact that it is environmentally much more friendly than traditional soaps, and that only a few drops of it are necessary to clean me up at any one time. I took it with me to Tough Mudder Ohio to help get me clean after the muddy event and before the long drive home. It worked great.

Been using campsuds for almost 50 years. Have carried it with me on all my journeys. Whether state side or oversees, from mountain tops to deserts never an issue. Biodegradable, cleans well doesn't leave a residue or soapy taste of any kind behind. I look across my gear and it's one of the very few things I have and continue to carry with me since the first time I strapped on a backpack almost 50 years ago. Can't say that about many products these days, so it's worth this long winded (but true) review. Guess you could say I highly recommend it.

While I wouldnt clean myself with this prior to a hot date, it most certainly does the job on the campsite. I shower with this in lakes and waterfalls without having to worry about hurting the environment. Ive used it on dishes and clothes, it really does it all

Just used this for a camping weekend to wash dishes, hands and some cloths and a little bit of it gets it super soapy and cleans effectively. Good value.

This is an excellent multi-purpose biodegradable soap - especially for camping where you have to bathe outdoors and the soap goes onto the ground or in the lake. I also love the smell of it.

Parfait pour la randonnée! Tout usage avec une bonne audeur. Je vais racheter!

So glad Amazon.ca carries this. Perfect camp soap. Two thumbs way up. Need very little to wash and suds extremely well in warm water. No pesky perfume to attract bugs. Use for dishes, hands, body (though it's quite drying). Dispose in soil, away from water to let it properly decompose.
