that's an excellent question puckster, one i've asked myself while reading through the various responses in this thread. A sink has been a fleeting thought from time to time but really never gave it enough consideration to actually purchase one. Then while checking out some granite gear under seat stowaway bags on sierra trading post, curious, i clicked the 'other stuff by gg' link. Well they had sinks for 12 bucks and traditional #4 packs for 74 (with email discount). Which got me thinking i've got a couple older packs and might be nice to retire one as a backup. And then these sinks, that's a pretty good price too, and there must be something to these things if so many people are using them. Do a lot of people use them? Must be otherwise they wouldn't be making them. And then looking at a BWJ back issue and there's an article on 'top ten gadgets'. One of the top ten is a seattle sports sink and one of the big glossy full page pictures highlights none other than, yep. a sink. that very night i had a dream with a sink in it too! (not really). So anyway, I'm starting to think 'am i missing something here?' I've never really missed a sink and have always used a big pot to do the job. sometimes sand and soil a was mentioned. It's kind of trivial, and i hesitated to even ask here but what the heck. A dull uninteresting topic, but everyone has dirty cookware and everyone has their own method and tools to deal with them. I liked reading all the responses. Good stuff. At this very moment a couple gg portable sinks are en route via ups. I might like em or not but will give them a try. Worst case they can be used to carry boxes of drywall or deck screws, right? Woah getting late gotta get off to work. New thought for a bumper sticker. I'd rather be washing dishes in the wilderness...
