This is a genius idea for any outdoor situation where you might need to wash your hands, but are not near to a water supply.
It is so useful for camping, gardening, barbecues, and picnics.
Supplies:
- 1 plastic bottle with a screw top
- 1 pointed tool or drill bit

Steps:
- Choose a large sturdy plastic bottle if possible, but any size or quality will do.
- If you are using a pointed tool such as a pair of scissors, heating them up in the flame of a gas cooker or a lighter will help, but be careful the handle doesn't get hot too.
- Make a small hole very near the base of the bottle.

- Cover the hole with your finger while you fill the bottle and replace the cap.

- Stand the bottle near the edge of your work surface and loosen the lid.

- The water will stream out of the hole.

- You will now be able to wash your hands freely.
- To stop the stream of water simply screw the lid tight again.

if you put a golf tee in the hole you can pull that in and out to adjust how much water comes out too.

Good idea! probably best for a bigger bottle with a bigger hole. I just have a small bottle out where I see to my chickens - with a tiny hole that gives out just enough water to rinse my hands when I am done
