our family likes to camp in campgrounds we are planing to do some backpacking but in either case i would rather use camping plates bowls etc rather than paper ones some facilities offer wash sinks (they are so nasty they look like a urinal) but others don't you are not allowed to wash in bathroom(yuck) thank goodness, and you are not allowed to drain wash watter at watter spigots or on the ground because it attracts wildlife (ie bears)their are collapsible buckets and eco friendly camp soap available in stores dose any one have any suggestions on the proper procedure for washing dishes while exploring the great outdoors.i see a lot of other campers breaking the rules because i just don't think there is a good way or info on proper procedure i am all about following the rules especially the ones in place to protect campers children and the wildlife that makes the place i call home so beautiful

I wash dishes as I do at home, I already use a phosphate free soap. Your right not to wash them at the spigot it leaves a mess, attracts bee's and bears and pollutes the site. When I camp I plan menus that use as little dishes and pans as possible, I burn my trash so I use paper and plastic so I don't have to do dishes or leave a mess to attract bees and bears.
When doing dishes in camp first wipe out your pots and pans with paper towels to get rid of the food left in them, burn the paper towels. Next wash your things in a bucket or box. I pack all my kitchen gear in a stack-able box that also doubles as a sink when camping. When your all done with the dishes pour the water into the toilets or dig a hole (away from camp and water sources) near a bush and dump it there. fill the hole when your done just as you would if your going potty in the woods.

Good places to go backpacking?

Ok, I'm thinking about going backpacking in about a year with a good friend of mine. Let me know if you know anywhere with the following, or close...Water clean enough to go swimming in, not too dangerous, trains, hostiles, not outrageously touristy, somewhere that has some cool attractions (more on the scope of ancient stuffs and natural wonders not necessarily huge cities), good places to go hiking, camping, and general adventuring.
If you have any ideas, lay it on me!

Nepal is fabulous for trekking. Lakes, mountains, tons of temples and funky sites, the gorgeous Himalayas, wonderful food, friendly people, cheap and clean accommodation. The only thing it's missing are trains - transport is by bus, car or plane.
