Army bag washing help

If it is the kind I think it is, (with the strap attached at one end?)

turn it inside out and into the washer it goes.

 

close it inside out and you are good to go, it's military, you can't ruin it.

 

I wish that was true...Remember,everything the military has,was made for them by the lowest bidding company for the job lol..Besides,when i was in Iraq,I seen the Iraqi's ruin ruin plenty of military things.

 

that is what I do with mine... - I prefer to use the "tumble washer" at the local wash house as opposed to our toploader at home due to the unbalance and size of the thing...


DOD started sourcing "sea bags" from a different supplier just prior to my Comish ending in 1996. the new ones seemed to have a sprayed liner or something in them (like waterproofing).

dunno how well that holds up...


ohhhh and lest I forget - be careful and watch the strap/clasp it can wrap around the center impeller (if you use a toploader) and cause a nightmare for your wife!

 

wash it by itself. the green dye bleeds out.

 

In the Navy it's called a Seabag and I'm glad to say I've never had to wash mine. I still have the one issued to me in 1970. It's got a few worn out spots on the bottom but still works just fine. If you can get by with just washing the bad spot I believe that would be better if you want the bag to last.

Another note on that subject. I could stuff those bags full of chothes, more than any suitcase. But it was heavy. I laugh every time I see a movie where the guy just flings the bag around like it weighs 10 pounds or so.

 

hi there in answer to your question put it in a cool wash in a large washing machine use setting for wool wash and air dry it should be no problem
