> A wash basin
It is important that you put a wash basin next to the latrines but also in your camp kitchen.
Drill a hole in the bar of soap. Put a string through that hole and make it hold with a small stick on the opposite side. Hang the soap. The net isn’t mandatory.
A closer look at 2 techniques
> The net
If you prepare it in advance, you can use it as a support for the dish dryer, as the back of a bench, as a toilet bag hanger...
You can use the sheet bend
Many uses for the net :
- The back of a chair
- For the dish dryer
> The wicker rack
It can also be prepared in advance, just like the net. It can be used as a draining rack, a toilet bag hanger or a stand for a basin but also as a board.
Choose hazel or arbour sticks.
The fundamentals of the technique
If you leave some space in between the sticks you can hang towels and cloths.
If the wood you choose is strong enough it can be used as a table top.
Hints for your camp
> A log wedger
That way you can keep it from rolling!
A log used as a seat for the evening or for the axe during the constructions.
> The bag hanger
It is useful to hang your cookware bags or any kind of bags
Take forked sticks. Attach them around a trunk with a piece of string.
Another possibility
Put a pole in between two trees and attach your bags to it with a lark’s head knot.
Make sure the trees are not too far apart.
> A boot rack
To make sure your boots don’t get wet plant 20" poles in a line and put them upside down.
