I'll second the babywipe thing even if you have paper they are a must in my camp from now on!

Well..... we did hang a couple from the meat pole in Idaho one year! Couldn't get close enough to the Elk with our bows!

Apparently, from the looks of some of the camps in unit 346, 36 cords of firewood are MANDATORY.

Shower, one of the things I never go to elk camp without anymore.  For about $35 you can build a super nice HOT shower, like the ones you buy in Cabela's for $135.  Take a metal bug spray can from Home Depot, cut the metal spray handle off and attach a hose like you have on your kitchen sink.  Wala you put the metal can on your stove and in about 10 minutes you have about a 15 minute Hot, Pressurized shower, way better then baby wipes and you won't even look at another solar shower.  If anyone ever runs accross a 5 gallon metal bug sprayer, please let me know.  Thanks!!

Fred,
Are you talkin the pump up style sprayers like you'd put weed or bug poison in or some folks use for sprayin stain?  If so I didn't know they still made em in metal.  I got 4 that are plastic.  Would luv to have a metal 1 though.  1 of my plastic models is a 4 gal unit.  I suppose you could heat the water in a seperate container and then pour it in... :dunno:

Yes the metal ones sold at Home Depot and are of the 3 gal variety.  Your right, I may just get me a good 5 gallon plastic one and try it out.  It's just handy to heat the water in the metal one and the take it into the shower tent, but that is a good idea as well.  I'll let you guys know how it works.

Another good shower idea is to use a small bilge pump.  Run it off a deep cycle battery and submerge it in a 5 gallon bucket of warm water.  Run a hose out of it with a shower nozzle on the end of it.  Great camp shower.

For the metal sprayers visit Macon, White Cap, or Seco here in Spokane.  Macon is on Trent close to SCC and Seco is on Broadway by the fairgrounds.  They sell them for applying curing compound or form spray for concrete pours.
