Was talking to a friend today about these. I keep unscented baby wipes in the truck all during hunting season and use them for lots of stuff. Whether rubbing face paint off, wiping down the early season sweat or using them to clean my you know what when nature calls. I also keep some in a zip lock baggy in my pack as well. Just wondering if anyone else utilizes these handy little moist towelettes?

I keep a small Rubbermaid bow in the back seat of my truck during hunting season. It has everything I need if I kill a deer -- rubber gloves, garbage bags, bottles of water, baby wipes, etc.).

The years have stopped the major packing trips but when I did I let the wipes dry out so they would be lighter, they reconstitute perfectly with water in a zip-lock. After a few days in the bush they are my #1 luxury item.

I have a great tip if you want to keep weight down on a DIY hunt let them dry out they weigh nothing when dry and when you get there or need them just add water and they are as good as new. I have been using them longer then I can remember I think about 19 years or so nothing takes fat-tallow buildup off you knife better then they do. They are truly a must have never leave home without them. Widow

My oldest was 8 on 3/1 so I have been using them just over 8 years now. Don't know what I did without them. Best thing ever for taking off face paint. Those and heat packs can take the place of a lot of stuff when I pack light.

Did a long trek in the Brooks Range in the winter, and discovered that you have to keep a few in a ziploc inside your shirt to have them unfrozen when the need arose. Also more comfy that way.

Of course I keep some everywhere! Doesn't everybody? I use them on my hands after I gut a deer. They help to keep the blood and stuff off of my bow and the steering wheel of my truck. They work real well when nature calls too, if ya know what I mean!

I don't think that anyone has mentioned that they work great to clean your bloody, furry, arrow. This application is especially handy when you have an opportunity for multiple kills, like when hunting rabbits. I am not a fan of shooting a bloody arrow and getting face full of splatter.
