Wow! Looks like everybody's weighing in on this one!
1. I do camp in grizzly country and the first night out I almost always have trouble sleeping. Combination of nerves and excitement. After that, I sleep very well.
2. Unscented baby wipes.
3. I don't usually let things get wet. My kayak camping experience has taught me how to keep things dry. I keep my clothes in a dry bag, sleeping bag in two layers--nylon and heavy-duty compacter trash bag. Camping over on the other side of our state [the wet side], if something gets wet it will never dry out. At least, not without a fire. And because it's seldom very warm--even in summer--hypothermia is a big danger. So--keep things dry!
4. As a woman, I don't shave my face <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and don't feel compelled to shave my legs and underarms on a hiking trip. And if I were of the male gender, I definitely wouldn't shave unless I had some kind of skin condition that required it. Beards are cool!
5. Only if it's warm [the air, not the water]. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
