Cleaning a Cookpot Backpacking

I've been getting asked about cook kit cleaning on the trail...so found this bit to re-issue sl a stand alone.
Cropped this from a Trip Video on the Kekekabic Trail in Northern Minnesota.
I have always cleaned my pot this way and am always boiling water for next meal so never have I become ill or tainted.
All secure in sector seven......

A fine method of pot cleaning. I have to admit, I did not see the "drink the nasty down" coming but you cannot be over hydrated on the trail.

A time-honored method for sure. Makes me think of the Buddhist monks who only have a wooden bowl to use for every part of a meal, and basically follow the same procedure. Certainly cuts back on introducing soaps/detergents to the back country.

@williamkennison8920
@williamkennison8920 9 лет назад
***** and I've bee mm using charcoal or beach sand all these years to clean the inside and outside of my pans. Of course I've also been putting liquid soap on the outside of my pots and pans before using the campfire to cook...makes them soooo easy to clean afterwards.
@RandomButtonPusher
@RandomButtonPusher 9 лет назад
In Scouts, back in the 60s, we were taught to use the shaving cream/soap that came in a tube to coat our pots -- don't know if it is still available, but it was easy to carry a tube and apply. Worked very well. But such methods do end up putting some soap into the environment.
@williamkennison8920
@williamkennison8920 9 лет назад
Random Button Pusher we used old ivory soap pieces that would have been thrown out. We put the pieces in a jar of water and let it form a jell...that worked slicker than snot on pots...now we use Dawn and as little as it takes and the fact it biodegrades quickly is even better. But, you always put your wash water in either a grease pit away from camp or on the cathole before final burial to give it a chance to degrade.

Shug, skip the spoon scraping step and just go to the finger cleaning step. Saves time and leaves more flavor in the water. Good show my man.

Shug you ever try freezer bag cooking? For distance treks it works well because you only use the pot to boil water. And the freezer bags are sealed in the trash bag so it has less food odor, for when you're in bear country. Have you done a video on how to properly drop a deuce? =P

When I camp, it is usually near a river so I use an old Boy Scout trick of using sand to scrub out my cook kit. Also, my Camping trip last week was a flop. The place we were going to set up didn't have any trees I could hang in. So no video of my current setup.
