Staying clean in camp showers
A very important question: When the campground shower floor is muddy, how do you manage to get your pants back on without getting your pants dirty? (I'm not a fan of streaking. . .)

I actually agree with everything you say. My use of the term "brave" notwithstanding, I don't actually fear the sanitary conditions of public facilities, at least within broad limits of cleanliness, and I don't hesitate to use them when I have to. It is really more of an aesthetic choice. Just as some folks prize long, leisurely hot showers, I prize our private, clean, intimate wet bath. Campground showers give me the hebie-jeebies because they feel gross, not because I see them as particularly dangerous.
When our kids were small, my wife and I used to argue about the merits of various activities and cleanliness practices wrt the health of their developing immune systems.
