A camping shower is a must have luxury when you're out on the trail for days at a time. For some people the feeling of being dirty and not able to wash is enough to keep them from going camping ever. Well they don't need to worry about that anymore. Now you can wash up no matter how deep in the woods you go, no matter how far from civilization you get.
It used to be that the only way you would get clean is to use the showers at a family campground. Sure they work but you have to be up pretty early to be able to get any hot water and more than that, those places are usually a mess. I know that I can't stand walking around in somebody else's dirty soapy water and to be honest, I'm not convinced it isn't bad for your health at some level. Not to mention the lack of privacy and everything else that goes along with that.
Of course there's also the option of grabbing some biodegradable soap and just washing up in the nearest lake or river but that's not always practical either. If you're the type of person that likes to camp in the spring or fall when there's less of a bug problem then you can count on the water being very cold, maybe extremely cold even, and that could lead to anything from you becoming hypothermic to just catching a bit of a cold. Maybe nothing at all will happen to you but one thing is for sure, you can't beat the comfort of a camping shower.
They're actually nothing fancy and I'm surprised I haven't seen them around earlier than just the last few years. They're a plastic bag that's made of fairly thick plastic and tinted so that it's dark like a garbage bag. It has a spout on it and it will hold probably a couple of gallons of water. The spout on it can be turned on and off at will. The idea is that you fill it with water and hang it in a nearby tree or place it on a rock so it can be heated by the sun while you're doing your thing. Even on a cooler day the sun will heat the water to a much more enjoyable temperature than a nearby lake or river will offer you.
At some point in the day when you figure the water has been adequately heated you simply hang it up in a tree, wet yourself down, lather up, and then rinse it off. The best part is that if you figure one shower is not enough to get you clean then you can bring two with you. Heat them up at the same time and you should have more warm water than you need. They will roll up into a nice small little package that you can take with easily.
These days you simply don't need to feel dirty when you're camping. I'm aware that some people find it to be part of the charm but with a camping shower you can go anywhere anybody else wants to go and still keep clean.
A day out with friartuck Fishing and camping out. Had a great three days but I forgot to bring a back up battery for the camera hence why this is not a longer video. Had I brought backup battery this video would have contained footage of a rather inebriated young man trying to fillet a catfish that was suppose to weigh 12lbs but only weighed 6, a fish story we debunked. Then Grilling the fresh catfish over an open fire. A meal that was made up of dehydrated Chicken rattlesnake, potatoes, onions and many other veggies cooked in a Swedish mess kit using a Trangia. Great conversation and great company The first night there was steak cooked over hardwood coals a single malt scotch and good cigars in a place where they could be enjoyed to the fullest. I think I made a good friend and hope for another outing in the near future.
This is a review of the 2010 DD Travel Hammock. It Now comes with 2 zips (one either side of mosquito net) allowing quick entry / exit either side of the hammock and also allows you to tie the mosquito net up above you, out of the way, when not needed. As before, this hammock has fine mosquito netting which keeps out all insects (including the dreaded British midge). Entry is via one of two side zips each with two double-sided zippers. Features include two waterproof base layers so if needed (no trees) it can be set up on the ground as a basic bivi/tent, see pictures. The hammock also features two small internal pockets which are great for storing a torch, phone etc as well as three velcro patches between the two layers to help keep a thermarest/pad in place if cold weather camping. Now comes with an extra 2m elastic cord to create a ridge line inside the hammock to hold lightweight gear such as glasses etc. You also have the option to lie out in the open (without mosi net) - simply tie the hammock up with the mosi net underneath the hammock. With the waterproof floor this hammock can be used anywhere and along with our Tarp is the ultimate lightweight camping system!
