The contraption’s called a Wonderwash. It looks like a cement mixer and works much like one too, except you pile your rugrats’ dirty jeans into it.
Roy made this video explaining how it works.

It’s a bit too big to take backpacking, but it could come in immensely handy on, say, a two-week car-camping trip to Yellowstone where you’re planning to turn the kids loose in terrain with abundant dirt.
Of course it would ruin the fun of coming home smelling like three-week-old socks.
I really enjoy your site and I feel like your information is very useful. I recently started a small food storage business and have created a website dedicated to helping people build up their emergency food supply. We were wondering if you would be willing to put a link to our site from yours. Our site is http://www.foodstoragedepot.com. Feel free to check it out and see what you think. You can put the link anywhere you feel that it would not distract from your own information. If this is something that you are interested in please contact me at this email address (taraivers@gmail.com) and we would be glad send you some of our product or you can pick an item from http://www.outersports.com. Thanks,
Tara
weird thing huh
but it’s handy especially once we’ve soiled our clothes from a long trek, then u just put out the tool and alas!! 😀
I’ve found that a heavy-duty zippered plastic bag works well enough. And I know I’ve demonstrated that technique to you, Tom.
My wife also gave me the “why bother” response to this contraption, till I noted that there is a very specific use where it may be practical: car-camping with kids, who a) have smaller apparel, compared to grownups; and b) are filth magnets, especially in the outdoors.
Makes less sense for a pair of adults, I agree.
