gather a lot of wood ash into a large container and add water. the water that filters through is contains lye.

collect fat drippings from animal meat.

combine the fats and lye for saponification. requires stirring so use a big stick.

pour the mixture into molds or a large container to set and cure. this could take about a month so keep track with the phases of the moon.
