To all who give hoot,
Soap can be made from animal fat and lye -- a caustic material that
combines with the fat.
Lye can be found in wood ashes, (I've never had to experience human
ashes (thank God), so I can't acknowledge that use).
Therefore, home-made soap can be made from fat and wood ash plus other
ingredients to suit.
(You can see this done at Greenfield Village near Detroit, MI (At least
when I was a kid anyhow.)
