Camp shower

[JBar]

I use one of those clear colapsable 5 gallon water jugs. Hang it in a tree with the faucet end pointing down and away you go. Leave it hung in the tree during the day and the sun will warm it up and it'll be ready for you when you get back to camp. I think they're like 7 bucks and squeeze down to nothing for space.

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

i also have an outside and inside shower in my trailer

I use the Solar Shower. It's a bit warmer then D-Rocks jumping in the river idea.

No trailers where we are going. The creek is a option but at 7500' I hear things tend to shrink in the mountain cold water.

 I have tried lots of things but for packing the "Sun Shower" or "Solar Shower" works pretty well. The idea is fill it with water and lay it out in the sun all day to warm it up, hang it and shower. It has a clip on the shower head to cut the flow off while soaping up.

 What I found worked best was heating water in a pan, filling up the bottle and hanging up, its much faster and hotter that way.

 This is one of my hunting buddy's about 15 miles into the Bitteroots  , we woke up the next morning with about 6" of snow, we were camped at about 9000'.

I must not have very close guy friends, can't think of a one who'd take a picture of my ass.
 
If so, then I'd be posting in the "who hunts alone" thread.

If you are that modest and uptight then you wouldn't fit in to well in our camps anyway KF.

[KFhunter]

I'd probably fit in fine since I'm not uptight, but since you found out I can be a bit modest I'd be worried I'd be the butt of your jokes

No pun intended? You should have seen the look on his face when his wife and him started looking through the prints and it popped up, classic.

When packing in from a base camp the black solar shower is what I use.

When at base camp:  5 gal bucket for the water.  I picked up a 3/4 inch submersible pump pond that people use for ponds for nearly nothing at a garage sale.  That sits in the bottom of the bucket.  I run 12 volt wire with a push button start and stop.  I also picked up some hose and installed a shower head on the end of the hose.  Everything sits in the bucket when not in use. 

Great shower for the September archery hunt.

How many mules you have packing you in?   
Simplest is the solar bag and pour hot water into it,  as far as going in the river or stream with soap, please don't do it.  Even with camp suds try to keep our impact and pollution to a minimum.   (you may be the guy downstream)

Some time ago, someone posted a picture of a bug/weed sprayer, 5 gallons, painted black with a kitchen sink sprayer replacing the regular nozzle. Leave it out in the sun to warm up all day and take an afternoon shower before the evening hunt. Really an awesome setup.
