My girlfriend and I have just started backpacking. We are slowly progressing from campground/car camping to backpacking. Just this weekend we hiked about a mile to the campsite (it's one of our favorites, or we would have gone further) and set up camp. The next morning we were able to further explore the area before hiking back to the car.

We have a JetBoil and used both the mug and the 1.5L pot to fix our supper. It occurred to me, then that I don't really know how to do dishes without some sort of wasteful water supply. Since we didn't have a ready source there really close to the campsite, I didn't feel like lugging any water just for dishes.

I had planned ahead, and we used some wet-wipes to clean the dishes and a little bit of water to rinse out any residual soap. The wet-wipes were placed in a plastic baggie and thrown away on the way out of the park.

Any better suggestions?
