You could try the good-old boy scouts way. Just take all 'binas and any dirty knifes, forks and frying pans down to a sandy river bed.
Swish the affore mentioned items through the sloshy sand and water. Give 'em a bit of rub with the sand/water grit mix between your fingers.
Rinse and polish useing some improvised cloth ( such as a sock, kneck scarfe or grass leaves ).
If the previously tarnished alloy now shines and sparkles you deserve a " carribener polishing badge ".
