"....I will post some updated pics of the Texas Hillbilly's and our recent additions to Elk Kamp. (Including the shower!!!)"
Private, warm water, warm air shower.... now you are talking sustainability and happiness in the elk woods with no need to go to town at all and no grunge factor.
We love our shower. The turkey fryer burner (170,000 btu) can heat water (100 degrees is JUST right, NOT 101, 100) as fast as our hunters can take their showers and get cycled thru.

Interesting, the sounds that come out of that shower!Dirt and sweat wash away and tired sore bones and muscles rejuvenate --- bliss indeed.Later when we're all sitting around in the evening, all clean withfresh clothes, loaded up on gourmet food andgood libation, and the storm howling outside ---- life is good. If the storm isn't howling outside, then cigars and cognac and sit and marvel at the carpet of stars in the sky on a moonless clear night, ah cigar is done, go back in, warm up, hit the left overs, refill.... priceless.

The kind of camaraderie that comes out of a tight, successful, elk camp tops my current huntinglist IMO,working the meat (field dressing and butchering and packing out with horses) comes second, and making the kill comes in a distant third; however, I must say an elk trip with a kill is more special than one without.
