Portable Camp Shower

[nnnnnate]

Who has one of those camp showers that are portable? Runs on propane.

Looking at one of these to use on trek in August to help with the food stuff. Food prep, cleaning dishes and mess kits, etc.

I searched back and saw people mention Zodi and Camp Chef but a few links were dead.

@Greg has an AWESOME setup he used on the Rubicon. Zodi hot water shower. Looking at models available, his would be most like the Extreme SC.

The Rubicon with Old friends

OK, so this trip was a big deal... I feel like I won't be able to do the actual trip justice with my report! Running the Rubicon trail has been a bucket-list item for me, for a long time... although parts of the trail have been made easier, it was still very challenging for my JKU on 35's...

In the years since, the hot water shower has only grown in importance and stature in my memory. I've considered buying one if I spent any real time camping. (now that I have a "camping rig" in a JT, maybe that's a thing? Maybe not?)

Buy this and then let me borrow it for a week in August?

That Zodi was WAY slick compared to the Camp Chef unit.

$200 for a unit like Zodi is pretty tempting. For how refreshing it was, I would have probably paid $25-30 for a warm shower at that point I see a business opportunity for campers like me? Running around the Swell offering showers for a fee?


@Greg , did you just have this strapped to your roof rack for the Rubicon? I'm thinking I could just weld a couple brackets on my roof top tent rack for the cannister (fire extinguisher type work?) and some kind of strapped securement for the "stove" piece.

We've got one of these hanging bag showers. Good enough for a trek.

I have a Zodi. Used it twice, novelty wore off, never used it again. But it is kind of luxurious, now that I remember back on it. Been ten years since I used it. I'm wanting to say I did something with adding a better pump and hose arrangement to it or something like that, but it's been so long ago I don't really remember.

This is what we use. As long as you're in one place long enough for the sun to heat it works great. And if it's too cold for that, well, I like paper plates and the cast iron can wait until I get home.

I have a nemo shower thing you can pump up after filling with warm water. They are wanting "on demand" hot water not for showers but for cleaning. I think to limit the amount of trash we have to pack out we're going to try and have everyone clean their own plates and whatnot rather than use disposable stuff. We're going to Rocky Ridge.

Black PVC with a Schrader valve to pump it up with a bike pump. Add your shower fittings and go go gadget warm camp shower.

My buddy Steve carries metal camp plates and silverware. I'm a paper plates and plastic forks guy. But he likes the reusable stuff. Never use any water to clean them though, all we ever use is spray away glass cleaner and blue paper towels. Gets that silverware and those porcelain coated metal plates shiny clean in a jiffy.

You’d think with billions of dollars the church would have some hot water showers available to every ward for trek. I’m sure all of these are in the budgets. Or you could buy whatever you want and turn in a receipt and be good.

Okay, I'm going to steal that idea for the Scout troop. Let's see how many parents freak about kids eating glass cleaner. Window licker anyone?

Food service uses that Sprayway stuff specifically because it's non-ammonia.
