Bathe With the Bears Using Sea to Summit's Pocket Shower

I've got a few of the solar showers in my camp down in Mexico. 5 gallon versions so not so good for backpacking. This is a nice little addition for those hike and go types. Also, the variable stream is a nice addition. All my solar showers are "pull for on/push for off" types.

Im slightly annoyed that this is probably better than the shower in my apartment.

@klew: uh... that's why most seasoned campers pack out a cast-iron 19th century clawfoot tub with them. i see someone has never gone camping before.

Hopefully the spots where you can actually hang the bag is also ground that won't turn muddy underneath you.

If the woods are so god-damn great, why do bears shit in them?

I have that black plastic one and it's worked fine for me. (Compare it to stream water temp.) You don't need much water to shower and you feel great afterwards.

I've been out in the back country with a plastic version that barely worked. If this heats better in the sun then the ladies will be happy.

@man_in_gauze: I've got one of these on my boat, it's excellent for that, I don't know how useful it would be camping/backpacking though

Hardly new though, I've had mine for 3-4 years now.

man in gauze is king ramses II, silly. — Sun, 11 May 2008 21:49:00 EDT

Wow, I'm surprised that no one has come up with this yet. Sounds like an excellent idea, IMO.

Then again, I've never been camping. Does this sound practical, to the campers out there?
