Product Review; "I heard something a lot of people don't think about is preparing the ability to clean your clothes without wasting potable water. So in an effort to be more prepared in case of Power Grid or City Water Line failure I picked up a cheap and old (but still great condition) washboard from EBay. This makes it really easy (with a medium sized tub half full of water and clothes soap) to scrub a few garments and hang them up to dry. Considerably less energy waste (if you're worried about that) and you can have clean clothes without a giant Washing Machine." -MadeInUSAReview
