Easy Low Cost Hot Water

This is a very simple low cost solution to providing the little lady all the comforts of home when totally roughing it, in primitive camp grounds. All you do is somehow get hold of a preferably stainless steel discarded beer drum. Next cut a 6 inch square hole in the top. This is where the water goes in! Next scrounge any old tap that still works. You also need a 12 inch piece of 1 inch gal water pipe. Put a bit of Teflon tap on both ends, and it's ready to go. The stand completely folds down and is made from light angle iron. The legs are 3/4 inch gal pipe. These just drop into the top on a spigot welded onto each corner. You can also adapt this same idea for a BBQ. Mick leaves his on all day and night and it works fantastically well. The only drawback is having to spend the entire weekend chopping wood to keep the entire camp in hot water!
