Default RE: Hot Camp Showers???

I have a battery (4 D cell) camp shower that my wife bought new in the box at a garage sale for $5.00. We heat water on the burner in a large pot, dump it in a bucket and add cold water until it is the right temp. Then we take turns going in the woods behind the tent, get naked and take a showerstanding on rubber floor mats from the truck. During muzzleloader season, we usually shower every other day if it is in the 40's or warmer. Rifle season usually a little less since it is colder out. We make our shower days on the warmer, sunny days. On those days we hunt the morning, go back to camp at lunch time, eat lunch, take a shower and go back out for the afternoon. One day we will work our way up to a shower tent. This year we are graduating from a 4 man dome tent to a 12x14 canvas wall tent with a stove.

Last rifle season, we were out there 5 days and didn't shower. We couldn't keep most of water from freezing in the jugs and it was too cold. Thank God for the Hunter Specialities wipes.
