Yo /out/,

What are some ways to do laundry in the field? What's the easiest, what's the most effective?

Allright, seems like great thing. Unfortunately I don't have the time to order it.

As I know of it's existence now, anything else will dissapoint me and piss me off when I finally have to do it.
Tough, can anyone give me some other advice?

you can get a similar sort of effect with large ziplock bags. Just put in an item or two of clothing, bit of soap, and the water, and then close it up and agitate it (sort of squeeze and stir the contents with your hands, being careful not to press hard enough to pop the seal), rinse clothes, repeat, and line dry everything.

Get a scrub brush and a bar of biodegradable soap.

Dunk your clothes in a river, then rub some soap on the clothes and the brush and scrub them against a rock.

Rinse a couple of times, wring out the clothes, and maybe bang them against the rock if you're feeling frisky.

Hang them up to dry or lay them in the sun on a rock.

wat. this is what I dont understand about city slickers.
the "cleaner" you are, the more flies will be attracted, not to mention the fact that bears are attracted to anything soap. Maybe bears aren't an issue in your area but they are in mine if you think im being over cautious. clean clothes is kind of impractical/irrelevant.
DRY clothes are all that really matter.
If anything just wash your shit in a creek with your hands. yikes you guys are prissy.

If you spend a long time camping or roughing it, yes washing your clothes is nice

I'm asking because I'll spend a minimum of 6 months in a damn 3rd world country. Without any mamals bigger than rats in the whole area, so no danger of bears, but a lack of water. And I guess after a few weeks I'll want to wash my socks, but didn't think about how I could do laundry yet. Excuse my English.

You can use a dry bag and some soap.

Fill dry bag with clothes and some water... Slush it around adequately. Rinse off. Hang to dry.

Dry bag is easy to get and you may have one already.
Slush as if it would bounce around when in a washer.
Use degradable soap if you're around water source so you don't contaminate it.
It conserves water.
