unscented body wipes?

You might look into baby wipes. They are typically unscented. They are what I use.

Just because humans can't smell unscented wipes doesn't mean the bears can't.

Wet Wipes makes a wipe for sensitive skin that is unscented. They come in a green package of 15.

Well unless there is evidence that bears associate unscented baby wipes with food, I wouldn't worry about it. You have more problems ridding yourself of the scent of that trout you decided to grill up for lunch :)

Bears associate all interesting smells with the possibility of food, I wouldn't rule out baby wipes.

But from what I have heard, there should be nothing to worry about the scent on your skin. That will be inter-mingled with your own "animal" odor, so a bear would know that the smell is coming from a person and should shy away. The wipes themselves are more the issue than the odor it may leave on you. Still, I agree to avoid heavily scented wipes (and sunscreen etc).

Here’s my fav. Been using them for years.

Been using the Target store brand of unscented hypoallergenic baby wipes for years. Certainly no smell that a human can detect. Dunno about bears…not many of those in the SE.

I've been using the Action Wipes for about a year now, mostly at the return trailhead before I get a shower. They definitely have a light scent. I'm cleaner and smell better after, so they work for me. Don't know if they attract bears.

I never heard of "wipes" until I joined BPL.

If you are near a stream or lake, jump in. Otherwise a bandanna (multi-use) and a little water should suffice.

Scent Away has unscented wipes used for hunting. There are some other brands too. I think one is Dead Down Wind

Strangely enough, Walmart has some Coleman biodegradable unscented wipes in the camping department.

Seemed to work on my last trip. On trip just added a bit of water to dried wipe, and it worked fine. Cut weight penalty down drastically.

What's the difference between a dried wipe and a bandana? Except the bandana is multi-use.

In my context I have very limited water. So can't rinse food waste off a bandana. Even if could, would end up with a wet, smelly bandana (wet environment, plus sensitive so don't use detergents)
