Nice, my wife got a HandyWash [1] for camping and it works pretty well. With the right sort of assists manual washing is pretty straight forward.

When camping, we used to use a 5 gal. plastic bucket with a hole cut in the lid and a plunger. It actually worked really well if you have 20 minutes to sit around manually washing clothes.

Neat. How long does it take to do a wash with that?

Since we generally have nylon clothes while camping not long at all. I don't think I've tried to wash denim in it. Basically it takes longer to dry generally than it does to wash it. (and nylon dries pretty quickly)
