The line is braided so it holds clothes in its own twists, which means no pegs to bring, drop, lose or watch blow into the scrub. You push a corner of the fabric between the strands and it stays there, even when the wind picks up.
That removes the single most annoying part of washing on a trip. Anyone who has chased a sock across a caravan park will appreciate why this costs so little and gets used so much.
Two stainless hooks let you string it between trees, awning poles, a roof rack and a fence, or across a shower cubicle in a cabin. You can adjust it to a short gap or a long one without fuss, and it will take your wet jeans and towels rather than just t-shirts.
It packs down to roughly the size of a bread roll and weighs nothing, so it ends up living permanently in a camp box or a suitcase. There is a 15 m version too if they need a longer run.
This suits campers, caravanners, backpackers, festival goers and anyone travelling with kids, where the washing situation escalates quickly. You will find uses for it at home too, in a laundry, a bathroom or over a balcony rail in a flat with no outdoor line.
On its own it is too small to be the whole present, so use it as a stocking filler or tuck it in alongside something larger. It is the sort of thing people mention afterwards, which is a rare quality in a ten dollar gift.
