Neil's Super Duper Bush Shower

Neil's Super Duper Bush Shower

I have two Li Lo black plastic bags to heat the water up and also a portable garden 5 litre spray the type you can pump up with its inbuilt handle and sling over your shoulder. It has a rubber hose and a handle with a on/off tap and a very fine spray head. I attach an extension wand (for high hanging pots) which I bent over a bit more like a crook. Put 1 1/2 litres of the hot water in and 3 litres of cold. That's about the right temperature. Pump it up, then where you want to have a shower, put the container on the ground, hang the wand over a branch, rail, whatever, turn the tap on, wet yourself, turn it off, soap yourself down, turn it back on, rinse off! Two people can have a quick shower with the one container or one person a long shower. Advantages-its pressurised not gravity fed, the weight stays on the ground, you don't have to hoist up a heavy bag and its the right temperature. If there aren't any trees in the area, this will still work with a light shower tent. Once you turn the tap on, you can use both hands, or move it around like your flexible shower lead you have at home, or you can rig it up on the side of your A'van.
