Camp shower

[ICEMAN]

Well sure, but it will just be a novelty. It will never be as compact.or.portable and space.in the truck heading to camp quickly becomes an issue w/o adding some rubegoldberg contraption.

Comeon', mine is an empty bucket you can cram full of beer! You can't ask for a more compact and useful thing!

Pick up a Zodi shower. We've been using one in elk camp for years.

i looked at these before i built mine, all the reviews are terrible ie broke halfway through one shower over and over

The Zodi shower has worked well for us. Have used it many years now.

the original question was has anyone built a homemade shower.  you catalog shoppin, bottomless pocket, money flashin folks stay out of this thread.  its not for you. 
 its for us redneck, hillbilly, white trash folks.  its for those of us that feel likes it makes sense to make our own stuff, even when it doesn't make logical, nor financial sense.   its just plain fun!!

I picked up an unused, stainless steel, 5 gallon pesticide sprayer, changed out the existing hose and added a kitchen sink spray nozzle, squeeze it's on, let go it's off.  Have the sprayer sitting on a turkey fryer base that I picked up at a garage sale for next to nothing, heat up your water, then turn it down or off, and get to showering.  Bought a pop-up shower enclosure for privacy.  Shower base made of some enameled, perforated metal on wooden blocks for platform to keep you out of the mud.  Just got to be careful not to let a full sprayer sit on the high flame to long, or potential for over pressurization.

i used the cheapo 3 gal black solar shower from wal mart.  it worked great. i was impressed.  it was better than just wipes

I use a roll of quarters.......
Then drive to Pearygen State Park, lol

I think I'll try the 5 gallon bucket. I got a couple of those around and I won't have to buy a weed sprayer. Plus like Iceman said, it will carry my beer.

I just jump in the creek with a bar of soap.  Kinda cold at first.

Going on a two week trip this year to Idaho in Sept and was wondering if anybody has made some sort of homemade camp shower. I usually just do the baby wipe thing but it's gonna be a little longer out this time. I was thinking about modifying a 3gal weed sprayer with a cheap rv shower head. The solar bag, gravity feed thing doesn't really seem that effective. I could be wrong, never used one. Just looking for something better. Any ideas?

We bought two cheap 5 gal solar shower bags (always have a backup) from walmart for about $10 each.  Then buy a long neck funnel.   We heat up water on the stove or in the turkey fryer pot.  1 part hot (with bubbles, not boiling), 4 parts cold.   Hang the bag on something, stick the funnel in the opening and fill it up.   Hang it from a tree and you've got a hot shower.    We bring a small shower tent now and just hang it in there.   Simple, easy, and cheap.

If you used that whole roll then you are taking to long of a shower

Either that or he's rubbing one out and sweeping it down the drain with a bare foot
