I actually did the strigel thing during a months-long Army field deployment, when logistics failed and we only had enough water to drink for a few days. One barely sharp bayonet (which we never used) and Johnson’s Baby Lotion worked very well - long before I learned that was common practice thousands of years ago.
Necessity IS the mother of invention. There was a Lieutenant who needed crucifying but he wasn’t worth all that effort.
