Mark got sick of finishing a good day filthy.
RidgeWash started with one bloke who loved the outdoors and hated the drive home covered in it.
It started at the end of a good walk.
Mark has spent most of his life outdoors — long days hiking with mates, weekends chasing trails most people skip. The walking was never the problem. The end was: sweat dried to your skin, dust in everything, boots caked, and nowhere to wash off before the long drive home.
He tried what everyone tries — a bottle of water over the head, baby wipes, gritting it out till home. None of it was good enough. So he built the shower he actually wanted: small enough for the boot, charged off a USB battery, able to pull water from anything — a jerry can, an esky, the creek by the campsite.
RidgeWash is that shower. Built by one stubborn hiker who got tired of being filthy, for everyone who'd rather not be.
So he built it properly.
Mark sketched the shower he wanted, then kept at it until it actually worked. Today a small team packs and ships every one by hand. It's honest gear — no plumbing, no gimmicks — and it's backed by a 30-day return if it isn't right for you.
Then the farms found us.
We built RidgeWash for hikers and campers. We didn't expect the messages from farmers. Turns out a portable pump and a proper rinse is exactly what you want for hosing down a muddy horse, washing boots at the back door, or cleaning gear after a day in the paddock — no tap, no plumbing, just water from the nearest trough or tub.
So now we partner with farmhouses around the country. Same simple shower we built for the trail, earning its keep in the yard.
