Cloth diapering and Camping. It can be done!


I was posting some photos to FB the other day from our camping trips we took over the summer. Someone asked what did I do without my cloth diapers? Jokingly, I hope. I then quickly realized that some may think this is an impossible feat to accomplish. It can be done. Granted it takes some prep work but really what doesn't? I stuffed a bag full of my cloth diaper stash, wipes, a few small wet bags and a couple of plastic grocery sacks.
It was fun camping and easier than I thought while cloth diapering. The poo diapers were to be dealt with later but the pee dipes were rinsed in the river and hung to dry. This cut down on smell and room. Of coarse i packed way to may diapers for two nights but if we would have ran out, the rinsed diapers would have been fine.
All the diapers packed up pretty easy hen done. The river dipes were surprisingly soft for being line dried. My poo dipes were...well poo'd diapers but all came out clean and fresh after the wash.
It made me think of Pioneer days. I was bent over the river standing on a stone washing diapers. Funny. My husband thought it was sexy. Who knew washing diapers was so sexy, especially in the wilderness?
