Camping at OSH

wrote One thing I never figured out was
where do you clean off your dirty
dishes and pans if you are camping? RV's have their own kitchen but
those who are camping don't. You can't, or shouldn't be washing food
off your dishes at the communal water trough's so where do you go?

Take a water jug along and fill it up. At your site, use a dishpan and
soapy water. After the dishes have all the food off, use a pot on your
cookstove to boil water, then pour on the dishes to sterilize them. Some
use a Clorox and water solution, instead.

What do you do with the dirty water? Throw it downwind? Pour it on
your neighbors tent? Save it for next time? I know how to wash
dishes, getting rid of the food flecked dishwater was what gave me
pause. I really did not know what to do with it, the quarters were
close and I wanted to be a good neighbor.

Pour it on the fire. The grass there is already dead, and nature will take
care of the Ph imbalance before it gets back to the ground water.

Or scratch a little hole, and let it soak back into the ground.

Or find where zoom is staying and do with it as you will

The dish water?

Surely, the prevailing RAH opinion would call for water from a different pot
altogether.

Or if you feel REALLY bad about discharging gray water unto the ground,
dump it in a portapottie...

I've yet to make the hajj to OSH, but I've done some pretty large
camping events - 10,000 people on site for up to two weeks. The
campground has sump pits near the water faucets - a cubic-yard hole in
the ground filled with gravel and covered by wire mesh.

DON'T pour the greywater in the porta-potty. You do not want to risk
a backsplash. Besides, imagine how it would sound to a passer-by.

Dude, Coleman stove, no campfire.

DOH!

Hey, wait, doesn't that take the fun out of camping?
