TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Folding Bucket Question

Does anyone know if you can put hot water (like for dishwashing or bathing) into a folding bucket, or will this weaken the waterproofing or material?

Did it come with any documentation? What does that say?
Maybe shoot off an email to the company?

Well, I found a collapsing sink with the same capacity that is rated for up to 120c, from Sea to Summit, so I'll go with that!

I have a S2S kitchen sink which I have poured boiling water in but you have to put a bit of cold water in first.
