Task · part of 5. Camp cooking
5(g). Lead the clean-up after every meal
Required Often forgotten
Equipment, utensils and the site itself, with unused ingredients, leftovers, dishwater and rubbish dealt with properly.
Notes and warnings
Note. The clean-up is a requirement in its own right, not the end of the cooking one, and it says "after each meal". It is the part most often left off a partial.
