A washboard.  It is non-mechanical and can be strapped to your backpack.  I don't know much about where to buy one, other than garage sales, and flea markets.  If you want to see a picture of one go to the site below.

Most laundromats allow you to bring in clothing and they will wash and press them for you.  All you have to do is drop them off, and pick them up.  Maybe you could call the local high school and have then send over a student that is responsible that could help you every now and then.  Its either that, or throw the clothes away, and buy new.

you can buy tent repair kits from sporting good stores.\n\nOR you could sew it shut\n\nOR you could try crazy glue (haven't done this)\n\nOR you could ignore the hole if you are concerned about water and place a plastic tarp over it\n\nAND if all else fails, duct tape. (I've done the repair kit, the tarp, and the duct tape)\n\nI suppose you could always get an RV, but where's the fun in that ;)

I bought a small device that clips onto your clothing, tents, etc. It emits a sound that drives away the insects. I love the smell of Skin so Soft but I'm allergic to it. The vitamin remedy may work but one must take it a few days for it to permeate the skin. The sound device is instantaneous. It operates on a battery. It may be purchased in most camping gear departments or sporting goods stores. I am allergic to mosquito bites and this thing is terrific! It is about the size of a small hen's egg, only flatter. It weighs next to nothing.\n\n  Just a fun fact: in the forest, if you crush fiddlehead ferns and rub the juice on your skin, it's a dandy repellant!

What you are looking for I believe is called a "Collet",  If you look at a camera tripod with round legs or an adjustable cane you will see how they work.  Do a Froogle under Hardware collet, you should find something.  There is another cheaper technique that uses a loose piece that jams in one direction. You can see these in the hardware store on pipe clamps and on some adjustable tent poles.

Think of something you dislike doing or find boring or time consuming.\n\nSo for me a sock sorter would be good.\nHow about a uv light to sanitize restrooms.\nHow about a remote to mute the booming music from other cars.\nHere is something totally useless, How about something you can add to salt to change it's color. Make it designer to match the table setting or to add a bit of color to the top of a dish.

Buy a backscratcher. Its cheaper and more effective.

Go to the company's web site. They may have all kinds of free down-loads. Just did that from an add on a Fretoley bag, lots of cool stuff there.

I think it would be cool if there were a mini vacuum-cleaner that was about as big as two or three fingers. Then you could clean up messes anywhere without being obvious about it. Plus it would recycle the dust and dirt and lint or messy stuff and turn it into long hard stakes that would work to hold up tents when you go camping. So basically it would have 2 functions. Maybe, because it sweeps up stuff and turns it into stakes, you could call it the "Sweepstakes Vacuum  Cleaner." Ha ha.

Great tip.  Also use the air dryer (if available) to save paper towels.
