@Kanga used one on her last Camino I believe and was not unhappy tomhave it, but that is because of particularly delicate hands that react to cold water, if memory serves me.I just saw That "Groupon" has the Scrubba washing bag on sale for $34.99 right now. Has anyone used one on the Camino? Did it work well?
A very good idea. It might change my mind on my "esentials"I think when you take 'optional' items (items that you don't really need but might be useful, ie. the Scrubba), you have to be willing to either carry the extra weight or be willing to ditch the item if you end up not using it. Unfortunately its only after a week or two that one tends to make these decisions and therefore one ends up carrying far too much weight at the worst possible time - the beginning of their Camino!
Why not pack your backpack with only the very essentials and start training with that. You'll soon realize if that's a good weight, too much, or if you can actually add a couple of 'optional' items without any undue stress.
Don't forget - you can buy any essential item in Spain. Maybe not the very day you need it, but most likely within 1-2 days.
Good luck.
I like the idea of using an ordinary dry bag! Lighter and cheaper too!@Joodle - the Scrubba is a great idea but with a few practice runs you could just as well use a normal drybag. I also get skin problems when hand washing a lot so I take a drybag as a washing machine and it helps a lot and works great.
