Hello everyone,
Would you have some thoughts about, or experience with, the Zodie Extreme camp shower?
Thanks!
Here's a link to what I am considering: http://www.zodi.com/web-content/Consume ... hower.html

That looks like a bug sprayer with a little stove under it. :R This gives me ideas. :twisted:

I use a 3 gallon bug sprayer with a kitchen sink sprayer attaced to the hose. Add some hot water or let the sun heat it up and you get a great shower. 3 gallons is plenty to take a shower.

I bought a 20 something quart pressure cooker at a garage sale for $5. Removed the regulator and gauge and installed a fitting with a tube soldered into it so it would pull water from the bottom of the cooker and direct it into a kitchen sink sprayer via a small hose. Then I added a schrader valve (like the inlet for an inner tube) so I could pressurize it with a bicycle pump or small compressor. Left the safety plug in but later replaced it with an industrial unit and added a gauge (I welded up the lid so I had enough thickness to drill and tap but you could do the same thing - adding oulets with small pipe fitting). Fill it with three gallons of water, heat it on a fire or burner, put on the lid, pressurize it, and you have a 3 gallon shower as hot as you want. Sounds like a lot more trouble than it really is. The pressure cooker also doubles as a dish washing sink. When the dishwater gets cold, you just heat the cooker up on a burner.

They aren't available at our local walmart. It may just be an online purchase.
