The Many Ways To Wash Clothes Off-Grid

Since it is getting warmer and I can now hang my clothes outside to dry , I have been thinking of the many ways that you can wash clothing Off-Grid. There are a few different ways to make sure that you have clean clothing in an emergency. You have several ways to do it while Surviving Off Off-Grid. I have highlighted several of the ways over the last few years.
Hand-Crank Washing Machine

The Laundry Pod

The $6.50 Washing Machine


The bicycle washing machine from The Colony is one of my favorite ideas.

Another great way I just seen was to use a Commercial 5-Gallon Salad Dryer. They are more sturdy and a lot bigger that the cheap salad spinners you can get for home use.


I also am wanting to get one of these Washboards for smaller loads, like socks and underwear.

As you can see there are many ways to keep your clothing clean in a SHTF situation.

Food Storage Recipe - Everyday Pasta Sauce


This is a great way to be frugal and have a good pasta sauce. Takes things that should be in your food storage. Canned tomatoes are a thing that I try to have an over abundance of in my food storage. You can do so much with them.

Everyday Pasta Sauce

1 medium onion , chopped. Or you can use the equivalent of dehydrated or freeze-dried onions. The best ones that I have tried are from The Ready Store

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 14.5 ounce of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano

1 6 ounce can of tomato paste

1 cup of water

cook the onion in the oil until tender , add the rest of the ingredients and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir it occasionally. Serve it over pasta.

There you have it. A frugal meal that is good.
