I have never seen that done in real life, though it appeals to me on the grounds that the purchase of expensive clothes pegs is unnecessary.

Has anyone done this?

Many times when camping. It does work quite well but I still prefer a peg.

What a good idea! I'll pick up a few bits and glue them back together.

You wash your clothes when you're camping?

Wooden for me, less carcinogenic connotations for the folks who have to manufacture them, but more splinters maybe.

Re: Pegging out

I use the plastic pegs now, they are cleaner for the washing.

However, you do have to be careful which ones you buy ... some of the plastic pegs do not grip the clothes on the line securely and if there's a strong wind blowing the washing will often come adrift from the peg.
