Re: Portable collapsible trash bag holder
Good buy!
Now tell me...what size garbage bag are you using and is this for recycling, regular garbage or both?
Currently I hang a plastic shopping bag from the lantern hanger of a camp kitchen or if traveling w/o the kitchen and 2nd tent I hang both bags from a tree. This works well for developed campgrounds since they tend to have a dumpster on site so we dispose of all our trash daily.2017:
July 3 to July 16- annual kiddo trip
Aug 2 to Aug 14- adult trip to recover from kiddos' outing. Bring on the Campari!

I used it for non food trash, don't want the bears to smell goodies in the tent...

On a related note something new on this last trip was a collapsible hamper for dirty clothes. $5 and worked great. No more piles of dirty clothes in the corner of the tent or worse, packed back in with the clean clothes to get that funky smell in them.“I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.”

Re: Portable collapsible trash bag holder
I use this https://www.amazon.com/Household-Ess...ng+laundry+bag for my laundry. It will hang most anywhere and the metal hook goes around 3 sides so it stays open at the top (don't need to fight to get your dirty laundry in there). When I get home, I just grab the bag and toss all the contents and it in the wash, then throw everything back in an take it out to the clipper to put the clothes away. So easy.
For garbage, I have very limited space inside and with Bat-dog I can't leave anything out. So I just use a narrow magazine holder and the smallest wastebasket bags - the holder will sit on the back of my kitchen counter out of reach of Bat-dog and handy while I cook. I dump the bag every day so the small size isn't a problem - and I feel better because I'm using the smallest bag and filling it full. Always hated using a bigger bag and dumping it 1/3 full.“One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.” - James D.

What exactly are you doing that your dirty clothes are so smelly? From my experience, the biggest factor in smelly clothes in a hamper is when you put damp/wet clothing in and there is no ventilation to dry it out. Putting dirty clothing in a plastic trash bag is just eliminating any opportunity for the contents to dry out before getting that "funky smell".
I do not put damp/wet things in the laundry bag - I set them out to dry first, then put them in the bag. This prevents mildew/mold/smells from building up. With a fabric/mesh bag, air is able to circulate through the bag and contents, thereby reducing any dampness, etc., from building up and creating a smell.“One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.” - James D.

smell = sweat = hard work (or very hard play)
Doing, remote construction with hand tools or the lumberjack thing (dead trees only) to get relatively large quantities of fire wood is probably the worst/heaviest sweat, sometimes followed closely by a heavy sweat is worked up recovering a heavily mired or rolled vehicle stinkiest is probably nasty swamp mud... definitely rinse and dry before packing.
For very long outings a 5 gallon bucket and plunger makes an OK small load washer (shave/grate some Ivory soap flakes , I don't think they are sold any more, at least around here) and paracord makes a fair to good clothes line. I have heard of folks just sealing up the bucket, with dirty clothes, soap and water then driving fast down a bumpy road but it never gave me great results...

I guess that's why I don't get using a plastic bag for dirty clothes - if you're just using it to go from point A to point B, then that's fine - but if you're using it to store your dirty clothes during a week's trip, then you're just locking the foulness into the clothes and making it more difficult to get rid of with a wash.
I'd also add that even if your clothes are dry when you put them into the bag, with the temp changes between day and night, a plastic bag will often create dampness (think dew) and that will greatly increase the odors coming from the bag and contents. You really want to keep the air circulating around the clothing so condensation can dry out quickly. A plastic bag does the same thing with garbage (hence why I use little garbage bags and dump daily).“One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.” - James D.

I would much rather throw away a trash bag than clean or toss a hard to find canvass pilots' bag because it became heavily contaminated (i.e. with noisome swamp mud ,or some thing similar).
