HI MEMBERS, I HAD MENTIONED THIS AGES AGO BUT FEEL IT IS WELL WORTH REPEATING. DICK & I OFTEN DECIDE TO STAY OUT LONGER THAN PLANNED. UNLESS IT RAINS WE HAVE NEEDED TO BE VERY CAREFUL USING OUR WATER & DOING THIS SAVES HEAPS OF WATER! IMMEDIATELY WE HAVE EATEN WE TAKE A SHEET, SOMETIMES TWO, OFF THE CHEAP, PAPER TOWEL ROLL WE HAVE AT HAND, WE WIPE CLEAN? OUR PLATE,& CUTLERY. IF WE HAVE USED A SAUCEPAN OR FRYPAN I ALSO IMMEDIATELY, AFTER DISHING UP, CLEAN THESE WITH THE PAPER TOWEL. I DO ONE WASH A DAY, STILL NOT USING A LOT OF WATER BUT ALWAYS MAKING SURE THE WATER IS BOILED SO AS TO SCALD EVERYTHING... DON'T WANT TO GET SICK!! HAVE A BOWL WITH JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER, WE TILT OUR BOWL, & PUT A BOARD OR SOMETHING OVER IT WHILE NOT IN USE. GREAT FOR COMING IN FROM DETECTING, WASHING THE HANDS FEELS REAL GOOD!THIS WATER IS KEPT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AS IT SETTLES THE DIRT & WE THEN USE THE TOP, CLEAN WATER FOR RINSING OUR HANDS. WE KEEP THIS BOWL OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME. TAKE LOTS OF THOSE CHEAP PAPER ROLLS WITH YOU & BURN ON THE CAMP FIRE AFTER USE. OFTEN WE TAKE A FLASK OF BOILED WATER TO MAKE A CUPPA WHILE OUT DETECTING, ANY WATER NOT USED IS NEVER THROWN OUT BUT USED IN MANY WAYS. ANY HINTS YOU HAVE & WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED BY US ALL. CHEERS, KATH |

Hi Kath. Thats a great idea of yours for saving water. What I also do is fill a spray bottle with a combination of water and dish washing liquid. After we have finished eating we spray the plates etc with this mixture and wipe clean with paper towels. Regards Phil |
