 We
all know those backpackers and canoeists who take everything but
the kitchen sink. Well I'm not one of those people because I bring
the kitchen sink!
The Granite Gear Outback
Kitchen Sink weighs in at about 113 grams (4 oz). It holds 8.5
litres (2.25 gallons) which would hold more dishwater than most
of us use. The sink is constructed of heavyweight nylon on the
exterior and the interior is Ripstop.
The kitchen sink made
cleanup easier and I found that less water was wasted than with
other methods. I tend to bake in the backcountry so I dirty a
few more dishes than your average thru-hiker. The sink does tend
to ooze a tiny bit of water through the nylon if the water sits
in it for a long period of time. It dries quickly and if we are
resting in the same spot for several days then I put all of my
pots and eating utensils inside the sink and then place it in
the pack for hanging. It certainly makes it easy to grab the kitchen
gear out of the pack at the next meal time.
The Outback Kitchen
Sink by Granite Gear is a handy item that is compact and light
enough not to add too much to your load yet roomy enough for washing
bigger items.
