Firstly, when I/we go touring I/we will be taking everything including the kitchen sink. That's right, we got the Sea to Summit Kitchen Sink. First impressions are overall good. For washing clothes and dishes on tour I reckon it will be very useful when a sink isn't available - such as at wild camping spots. Washing items in a running river can be a bit tricky and the water will be cold. The kitchen sink means you can use hot water; and if you let go of an item it won't disappear downriver to be reclaimed by Earth. Made from their dry bag material and with taped seams it won't leak. It has 2 handles for carrying which could prove useful. To test it out we filled it with water in the bath. It seems the more water it has in it, the more stable it is. We found it a bit tricky to put back into it's case. After a bit of searching we found this video on Youtube which solved the puzzle!
Available in 5, 10 and 20 litres we went for the 10 litres. It's the ideal size, large enough to wash clothes in but not so big that it requires so much water.

To go with this I have some Sea to Summit Laundry Wash which I haven't tested yet. All I know is that it smells nice.
Now for something I wasn't so sure about but now I think it's great! It's the Sea to Summit (you could have guessed it would be!) Outhouse Toilet Roll Holder. At first I was of the what's-the-point opinion. A plastic bag would do the trick just fine. Made of dry bag material with taped seams and a roll top closure it will keep your valuable paper dry. It's easy to use, the holder is attached by a button-popper inside and, importantly, it works! The website also suggests it use as a vacant/occupied sign which might be useful at campsites with no locks! The hanging cord is adjustable and the holder can be hung from a tree or round your neck or anywhere really. Available in various colours we opted for our favourite orange.
