Granite Gear Kitchen Sink - 2 Gallons - 2008 BCS

I bought this for car camping, because frankly I don't like to carry any more weight than I have to when backpacking. Two nice things about it are that it holds water and dries quickly. One not so nice thing is that it sort of collapses into itself if you don't fill it completely.

I could see how this might be a luxurious addition to a backpacking trip, especially for a group, as it is quite light and packable. I bought it specifically for canoe camping, where weight and space are less of an issue, and I am disappointed with the lightweight construction. The walls are flimsy and collapse too easily, especially once the material gets soaked. Also the liner fabric tends to bunch and collect food particles when I dump my graywater. I previously owned a similar product made of a stiffer pvc type material (like some dry bags), whose performance was far superior to the granite gear sink. If weight is not your primary concern, keep shopping.

Worked wonderfully on a recent backcountry trip. Made washing the dishes/utensils much easier. Well made, quick drying, and the hanging loop makes it easy to attach to a tree branch or your pack for easy drying.

We used this a lot for car camping because we like to cook a lot. It works as great as described. Even when half full for us, it doesn't collapse on itself. Cleans up quickly and easily, dries out fast. We did not get stuck food particles anywhere. This is something we do not leave without now.
