Camp Shower Solutions

[Fletch_W]

Academy has a good'n'cheap shower tent by Magellan right now, with plenty of good reviews. It's the water and plumbing part I can't quite figure out. My one luxury I like to have when camping is a good shower. If I can figure out this part, I can downgrade from the C25 to the Aliner popup rentals and save a ton of money.

What are yall using?

A Zodi instant hot shower. I found one at a yard sale for $50. Works pretty good

I also have one of these.

It is worth it's weight in gold after a few days in the bush.

Those look neat. It seems the only way to turn the water on or off is with the battery button, does the "shower head" itself not allow you to turn off/on the water flow?

Not really, there is a pinch clip on the hose.

It needs to run constantly or the water in the pipe will throw steam at you if you're not careful.

I make a first pass recirculating into the bin to preheat the water on cold days.

at the camp in Ontario I hunt at they have a old wood stove out in the sauna / shower room, the wood stove in the sauna room has a copper tubing coiled around the stove pipe, water is fed into the coper tube via a 250 gal water tote up on scaffolds out back. the other end of the copper tube is connected to a 40 gal metal water tank mounted up at the ceiling above the stove with a pipe run into the shower for hot water. it will scald you if your not careful. Theres a pipe run straight from the tank into the shower room for the cold water. it takes a little adjusting the 2 valves to get the mixture just right but man a hot shower is awesome after a cold day in the bush.
