Before scrubbing with fingers and water I clean up my pots with a little piece of bread or two. Tastes better than watered down food. And then I just drink a slightly muddy water. I do it at home too, either brush my plates with bread or my used napkin. Like a pre-wash before the dishwasher gets a chance to donuts job
Check out the Sea to Summit pot scrubber + wilderness wash combo...it’s a durable brush/scraper and the soap bottle nests inside of it...absolutely genius!
You are most definitely tougher than me. I'd dig a hole and pour the grey water in the hole...then cover the hole. Great video in terms of showing another option. I can actually see me doing this if I'm still hungry.
I only clean my pots with moss now, with or without water. Works better than anything I've tried. Even baked on food and grease will come off. You will never get sick using moss.
Super interesting idea. I will have to try that. You use moss or lichen? I suppose either would work, but the lichen would be a big more abrasive. I suppose if the moss was dried out that would be about the same as lichen. I will give that a shot on my next trip!
@@backcountrycuisine6226 I use green moss that grows on the ground in Spruce forests here. Just pluck a handful. I use it to clean my fish cleaning board too. I used to use seaweed but a friend showed me this trick and it's much better. I have videos on my channel.
I bring a pack of fragrance free baby wipes, after wiping out all the food, i burn the wipes then using a tad of bottle water to lightly rinse, then air dry. Those wipes can be used for all over your body besides cleaning dishes, non toxic, wont hurt you, doing your dishes or wiping your body clean, sort of like a towel bath. I also use the method in my off grid cabin, basically to not use so much water. Most cast iron pans(why you should get them) you basically just wipe out. I have all stainless steel pots, which what i cook in them, i wont scorch or burn,, i bring a metal scrub pad not a green scrub pad, if have to scrub a pot i use as little water as possible and the metal scrub will usually clean. I take one 16.9 oz water bottle of water, adding several drops of dawn dish detergent, then lightly pour a small amount of water in pan, using paper towels wipe up the soap and residue, i do all my dishes this way, the most imnportant part is wiping all the left over food off your plates, silverware, cups, before you use the soap water bottle, you could use a spray bottle with soap water too, and then one spray bottle of clean water to act as rinse, using a clean dry kitchen towel , i dry off my dishes...presto dishes done. They spray bottle method is easiest and fast. Just dont wait to clean your dishes, bacteria and germs from food wont grow that fast, and food wont harden, i use paper towels and burn them in wood stove...to wipe off the food after meal. I try to be green, paper is recycleable and the food is food, doesnt contaninate the environment like clorox wipes. Ive used this method for years living off grid. I use only DAWN dish soap, it wont harm anything . I do use clorox sanitizing wipes for the counter and kitchen surfaces and cutting board. I do have two washing dish pans. In my cabin I have some electricty from solar panels, i use a coffee maker to make hot water, just dont add ground coffee, then in dish pan i pour the hot water and equal room temp water, makes very hot water for washing dishes, then i use a gallon jug and rinse off the dishes ion second dish pan. Ive ran across a lot of RV camping people and offgriders and told them about how to do dishes this way, saves so much time and water and effort. I studied many 1800s ways of normal things we do everyday to live off grid. Doing your dishes this way for a few weeks, you get faster at it and it not any harder than using a auto dishwasher, considering you have to rinse off the diishes first anyways.
If you have a Titanium pot you can completely toss it in a camp fire for 10 minutes an pull it out. Whatever was baked on will be gone. The sponge though. Man instead of half you can cut it into 6. Even a 1 by 1 inch piece will get the job done.

To do it’s job*

That does look pretty cool. Thanks for the suggestion!

It’s not that bad. There really isn’t much food to it. Mostly water. Try it. You might be surprised.
It’s definitely not bad. If it’s hot. If it’s cold though. Yeah ild dump it to

Go down to that creek down there and grab a handful of sand and scrub it with that, then rinse in the creek. Sand is your friend.

Great content!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
a little wood ash my friend will do the trick.

Thanks for that tip! I rarely have a campfire, but often I am at a site that has a fire pit, so I will check that out!
Great idea! I will check that out!
