Have any of you ever tried to wash yourselves with snow? I'm headed out for a couple of days, our shower at home is being renovated, and I'm pretty greasy. Thought I might try rubbing some snow on myself when I get out there.

Does this work? Will I die?

Ow! Why would you do this?

Fill your sink with soapy water. Get a rough washcloth. Scrub yourself with the cloth while standing in front of the sink. Once you're clean, drain the water and scrub yourself with the non-soapy cloth until you are no longer soapy. You'll get a hell of a lot cleaner and you wont freeze/cut yourself on the snow.

smoke doesn't fucking clean you it just makes you smell like smoke so you don't smell horrible. snow won't clean you and it has no smell so it won't do a single fucking thing

ignore all these fucks op, it does work, but its unpleasant as all hell. the tiny ice crystals will scratch you, and its cold.

For best results have a nearby fire to warm up/dry off, and don't go to bed wet.

I've scrubbed my hands with snow plenty of times and it works pretty well. Scrubbing you're whole body would be awful though

why not build a sauna? I'm sure you could rig something up with a tarp.

Why in the fuck would you ever want to do that?

Go to a YMCA, gym, local indoor swimming pool, whatever, use those facilities.
I've got a shower at the office.
Or sponge-bath from the kitchen sink.

But a fucking "snow bath"? Fuck that nonsense.
I've wiped grease/oil from my sled off my hands with snow before and even that's not very enjoyable.

I had to wipe my ass with snow once. It wAs uncomfortable since it took a lot of snow but my ass was clean by the end of it. I had gloves so my hands weren't cold.

>no one in the thread actually uses saunas
Really, /out/?

Anyway

I would just bring a bucket into the hallway and clean there to get it to melt faster. Or just, you know, melt the snow beforehand.

Or use one of your other faucets.

This

I used to shower for free at the hospital for a whole year. They had prime showers (lockable room with sink, toilet, shower) in the physiotherapy ward in the basement, and no one would ever ask any questions.

I wasn't even in physiotherapy, just noticed them went I was dicking around looking for an alleged cold war tunnel connecting the hospital with the city council building

no

A lot of the infrastructure here was built between WWII and the Cold War, so several cities actually have old tunnels (capable of driving in) connecting the hospitals with bunkers or other key locations in the cities.

Nearly all of it was sealed in the late 80s. Rubbled pushed into the entrances, concrete slabbed on top and even the vents are usually sealed shut.

Québecfag here, I take often snow bath, but it's only to help me wake up before I take a shower.
I took one once when temperature was at -42C when I was on an island in the middle of the Saint-Laurent. It was awesome.

If you live in a place that actually has a winter, you are guaranteed to get frostbite.

swedefag here, as long as you have somewhere warm to go after its fine, we usually do it in winter, scream and jump naked around flinging snowballs at each other, it hurts and its cold as hell. but then we run into the sauna and drink beer so its fine, otherwise i dont recommend it, especially not if youre alone in bumfuck nowhere
