Four wheel washing machine.

Last few years I have started wearing cover-up camo instead of camo clothing. I can adjust the amount of clothing I have on, and still be able to have full camo.

That being said, the cover up camos are generally lighter, and easier to dry than heavier material. The camo clothing is not that hard to wash, but takes a long time to dry. All my camo gets dirt and body odor, as well as blood on them, and if I am going to be in the camp for a week or two, I found it is a lot easier to take a few sets of cover up camo suits, than it was to take a closet full of camo clothing. It also allowed me to pull my camo off back at camp without changing clothes. By putting the camo in a 5 gallon bucket with a good lid and filling it 1/2 full of water and a 1/2 cup of baking soda, I can bungy it down to my 4 wheeler, and the vibration, and the movement acts like a washing machine. Wear it one day, Wash it while going out the next day, and hang it out to dry back at camp. The light weight camo will dry in about 2 or 3 hours with any kind of wind or sun.

Not a new idea
Dudes, I Have been doing that for the last 50 years.
Granted it was not an ATV but with the parants in an airstream trailer as we camped around the Eastern Seaboard. I'm still camping and washing the same way.
