Hoodoo, that is a great ida for washing clothes ! I am old enough that camping is (hopefully) not in my future plans anytime soon; but like you said, there is always the possibility of having to wash clothes without power even at home.
We had bad tornadoes here a few year back, and had no power for around two weeks. We did still have water, which was a good thing' just no electricity.
When I had to wash clothes, I used a large plastic tub, and I think I did use the plunger with it to agitate the clothes. I had a couple of tubs, so I could use one for washing and one to rinse.
We always washed the white clothes, then the colored, and finally dark clothes and jeans. I had a clothesline, so I just washed out by there. There was no good way to wring out the heavier pieces of clothing, so most of those just got hung up dripping wet.
I am glad that I have a washer and dryer again, but if it came down to it; it is good to know that I could still get my clothes clean.
