A few are pretty ingenious ideas here that could use.
Hat tip to The Working Man for the heads up!

I read Lewis and Clark’s journal a few years back. I bet Sacajawea could teach us all a huge amount of survival tips.

Why not just use an old-fashioned washboard?

Why not just use an old-fashioned washboard? For the same reason you don't beat your clothes on rocks. It causes them to wear out more quickly.

Easier on the clothes and the hands I say.

I have two Coleman extra wide sleeping bags that zipper together. Add a queen size air mattress and you are living life large...

You have to lick the plunger clean before you use it to wash clothes.

I think the idea is to use a NEW plunger.

Not easier on the muscles, I wouldn’t think. Do you know how much one needs to keep agitating to get close to good cleaning? Don’t count on it being a quick job.
As for wear and tear, that certainly isn’t a problem for camping.
