Preppers, Test Your Gear! 

Thanks for sharing

Agreed. We HAVE to use our equipment BEFORE SHTF. Not only do we need to know that it actually works but also that we have a durable product. We have to be careful because there are a lot of companies out there just looking to make a buck, not looking to make a good equipment.

Maybe try a plastic 5 gallon bucket with a 1/2 galvanized iron pipe maybe 4 inches long tapped in the bottom center of the bucket . Then put a cutoff valve on that Then you add a 2 inch piece of pipe and a shower head. Install a 2×4 cross piece permanently over your shower stall to hang your bucket on. You could lower your bucket low enough with a rope to fill it and raise it back high enough to be overhead when in use. You could also heat water hot enough in a big pot on a wood fire mix it with a little colder water in your shower bucket to get the temperature just like you want it. All this could be done with PVC also.I hope this helps. Be well my friend.

You've got more guts than I do. Would be nice to see a video on why you decided this lifestyle was for you.

I may have missed it but what solar if any do you have and what do you use it for?

Very valuable information! And same things goes for prepper food storage. Make sure it's what you want, not what you think you might want, and make sure it's of the best quality you can comfortably afford. And then store it as if it's gold. I hope you get a good shower soon, Steve. 😉

It’s always disappointing to get a poorly made product and have to scrap it right away. I’ll bet once you get a more permanent shower setup, it’ll drastically improve your off grid experience. A good night’s sleep and a good shower are two luxuries that I’ve found make a huge difference in this lifestyle.
