Using Your Scrubba Wash Bag – The Scrubba Wash Bag Australia

Anyone on here tried one?

Bit expensive though. My bucket has 3 uses, Washing, showering and carrying water

different for different trips, driving trips i do socks and jocks and t shirts after the dishes, dry by the morning.

jeans etc, in a bucket with a lid, rinse in the evening, but that's not every day

assuming you have water.

no water the dirty stuff gets put in a plastic bag under the back seat until there is water

But at only 145 grams I can take it on long hikes with me as well as in the Land Rover. I reckon it would also double as a bucket.

Prior to getting a camper trailer all our holidays used to be mountain bike touring on the Munda Biddi Trail. This would see us in the bush for up to 6 days at a time before getting to a town.

With minimal clothes coz of the weight we had to do washing every day. For that we used Wilderness Wash for the environmentally friendly soap and a Sea to Summit 5lt folding bucket and had a couple of strings and a few pegs to hand things up in between trees.

Now that we have the camper trailer we just take more clothes
