What is a Dilly Bag

Dilly Bag

A dilly bag is a cloth drawstring bag, preferably a natural cloth like cotton. Natural cloth is preferred because it breathes allowing your gear to stay dry without going mouldy! Net bags are not desirable because dust, dirt and bugs get in easily.  

The dilly bag is used to transport and store your camp eating gear. 

Inside your dilly bag should be:

  • Plate Bowl
  • Cutlery (Knife, Fork & Spoon)
  • Cup

Plates can be metal, enamelled, plastic or melamine. They don’t have to match! But they must have your name on them.
