Project to Preparedness- Sanitation is essential
     Good for campouts also

                                                Portable Washer


                 You will need:


1- 5 or 6 gallon bucket
1- gamma lid
clothes pins
laundry soap
laundry line (rope)
stain stick
dryer sheets
2 gallon plastic bags
Plunger
bleach
drill bit 1 1/2"

Why dyer sheets & Ziploc bags you ask, when there is no electicity for a dryer?  Good Question!!  These are good for occasions where there is only a case of the "stinkies". Put your stinky clothes in the 2 gallon plastic bag along with the dryer sheet at night.  In the morning your clothes smell fresh again.

Instructions:

Drill a 1 1/2" hole in the middle of the gamma lid.  Put a board or something under the lid while drilling for support.

Make sure the plunger handle fits through the hole

Put the laundry items inside the bucket

                                                 attach the lid

There you have it!!  Not the top of the line washer, but in an emergency it will be a great thing to have....great on campouts also.
