I tend to forget that one can wash with water carried for drinking --
and it comes in a handy squirt bottle that's convenient for flushing
grit out of road rash.

It's less convenient for washing hands -- I can squirt only one hand
at a time.

There should be a sliver of soap in your first-aid kit. (This doubles
as a way to mark your tire for thorn-finding purposes, if you weren't
forethoughty enough to line the valve stem up with the tire label.)

If an ambulance is on its way, leave wound-cleaning to the
professionals.
