Camp Washing Machine
One 5 gallon bucket with lid (preferably new), put hole in center of
lid about 1-inch diameter
One toilet plunger (most preferably new)
Add clothes to bucket
Add warm water to bucket
Add soap to bucket (no more than 1/4 cup maybe less)
I would recommend that you bring Woolite-- a bottle takes up little
space in your gear box, you need very little for a 5-gallon load, and
you can use it in cold water so you don't need to depend on the
availability of warm water. Also, boys will tend to jam that
bucket full of clothes-- make sure there's some room for them to move
around in the water! Woolite also rinses well,
with fewer rinse cycles. |
