Yes, you can wash the bags out, in theory. I don't think I have any washing up liquid in my BOB. It's only aimed at survival for 3 days, so a few bags is easier. But I was using backpacking meals previously, which cook in their own bags. So I may add some W/U liquid. We use a simple system of wipin...
