Kitchen Sink

Sea To Summit’s Kitchen Sink caries water for a variety of camp tasks like dish washing, bathing, or water purification. With three different sizes, this handy sink functions as well in the backcountry as it does in the campground. Webbing handle straps make toting water from the river a snap, and a stainless steel stiffening ring in the top prevents the sink from collapsing when full. After the dishes are done, you can even fill it with food or water and feed the dog.

Bottom Line: You have everything else, might as well bring the kitchen sink.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Does the job, less space

Took this on the Chilkoot trail, if you beleive in LNT camping as I do, this makes it a lot easier to not have dish water everywhere. In reality for short hikes you can probably deal with just licking your plate clean, but for long hikes this is really handy

Take the steel rim of the sink and wrap it into small circles, while compressing the sink. Think of wrapping a cable up, and it will become obvious how it fits back into the carrying case.

Great water holder thingy!

By:

I bought the 20L size and have tested it out once since I purchased it. This thing holds ALOT of water (about 5 gallons). I plan on using it for water filtering, washing dishes, and getting friends wet who decide to sleep in when we are camping... It folds down into a really tight and compact case so you can store it easily. I highly recommend it!

Please don't pour boiling water into the Kitchen Sinks! Water this hot can cause the seam tape to delaminate.

Always start with cold water in the Kitchen Sink and add hot water.

cheers

Versatile and Convenient

By:

These things are great. I have two, the 5L for solo trips and the 10L for trips with the wife and friends. Their great for pumping water out of to keep your filter cleaner as well as washing dishes, bathing, water for your dog, etc. They don't spill water like older camp sinks though you need a relatively flat surface. You can also hang them from a tree or limb by the handles. They pack small and are lightweight. Great product and highly recommend.

Great carry along

By:
October 15, 2009

I have the 10L version for backpacking, and was thinking about getting the 5 L but im not sure if that would be wise since my small 2 person cooking pot just fits into the 10L.
This is a great item overall. Ive used it for washing dishes, bathing, doing laundry (long hikes and road trips), and even for keeping water handing to put out a camp fire.
Its madeof pretty durable material and havent had any punctures yet.
ive ditched the carrying case it comes with and recommend just shoving it into a coffee cup for storage. save a little weight.

Absolutely Impressed.

This product functions just as stated in the description. Just used it on a backpacking trip in the high Uintas. The photo is about all you need. Its main selling point is the steel ring in the rim of the sink. I've seen the Granite Gear sink in action, and it fails in that it spills out water when full. Not this one. Nice work STS, great design. As you can see, the sink remains rigid when full of water, and as the water level gets lower it still will retain its shape. Genius. 10 liters was enough to pump all water for three people to cook with, rinse dishes, drink with, and at the end of the night was enough to extinguish the fire with. I also like that you don't need to do dishes directly in the river/lake and can keep food scraps out of the natural environment. 10 L is perfect for a small group, 20 L would be overkill. Highly recommended; you should pick one up for the function versus weight in your pack. Very much worth the weight for convenience for pumping water, dishes, etc.

Nice!

By:

I got the 10l model and it was about 4-5 inches in dia by 1.5 thick. After opening it up itwas HUGE. You could wash a crock pot (by rotating it) in this thing! I'm very pleased but may have to get the smaller one for water conservation

Great item to bring water to your kitchen or use to fill your hydration packs.

I am going to buy a 2nd one for when i travel with my wife and kids. One clean water and the other to do the dishes as I rotate pots when cooking the family their dinners.

Sea To Summit Kitchen Sink

The Sea To Summit Kitchen Sink is a convenient basin to wash your camping dishes in. The 10L size is plenty big and will do the job for everything except the largest of pans. It collapses into a carrying case with a little drain hole. This is a nice product for car camping and river trips.
