Camp Dish Cleaner: The Scrubr!

This amazes me, so much so that I’ve had to come back for another look.

Surely there is no more convincing sign of the end of days than someone successfully marketing a kitchen scrubber as ‘outdoor gear’ WTF!

As someone who has lived outdoors for 6 months straight at a time, I can assure you that a dish scrubber is a piece of outdoor gear and I am happy, (as are my own fingernails!) to see this review. I have made use of leaves, sand, grass, and charcoal with satisfactory results, but will welcome this little cloth into my life.

I’m with Lulu on this one. Outdoor “gear” isn’t just about the big things – the boots, the packs, the kayaks, the bikes, etc. – it can also be the items that fix small but annoying problems. Pot cleaning is one of those problems. Fingernails work OK, but then you have the gunk left under them. Sand works, if you have sand. Old snow works great, if you can find a patch. Those half-sponge/half-scrubber things from the grocery store work well, but they stay damp and start to grow bacteria if you aren’t fastidious about drying them. Sometimes there’s no way to be fastidious enough or dry enough (Cascades mountaineering trip anyone?). Like a Packtowel, this is a nice adaptation of a common tool for use in a less civilized situation.
