Then I'd turn the car so the back or front windshield faced south and put the bags in the dashboard, close up the car and within an hour or so, viola! Hot, steamy towels.Susan Martin Sparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084379619279293914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-62608597889307412022013-01-07T07:50:33.480-08:002013-01-07T07:50:33.480-08:00Thanks Debbie.

My dream is to also get one of the Coleman hot water heaters.tinyyellowteardrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146256337115269302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-56395239284001104192013-01-05T21:07:16.054-08:002013-01-05T21:07:16.054-08:00Christina, another showe option is a weed sprayer,...Christina, another showe option is a weed sprayer, not repurposed, but new. I have a metal one that i attached a solar shower type sprayer to. Then heat it up on the camp stove a nd instany, almost shower. I also use it to wash dishes. Also by standing in my dishpan for a shower, i can reclaim the water and pour into a greywater container to pack out. It is rare, however, we are near bodies of water in NV!

You are absolutel...Thanks for your comment Andreas. You are absolutely right. In fact, if I am washing in a river or lake, I will usually take a bucket of river water with some soap (soapwort-based soap or Dr. Bronner's) away from the source to wash and rinse. I will finish up with a swim or a quick cold dip in the river or lake. The same goes for washing dishes or clothes, don't wash directly in the water source. <br /><br />Andreas, where do you usually dump your used water? tinyyellowteardrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146256337115269302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736805201700186470.post-10761880594579800842013-01-02T17:45:01.329-08:002013-01-02T17:45:01.329-08:00Removed comment because it needed editing - fat fi...Removed comment because it needed editing - fat fingers. <br /><br />Love the post, but a comment about using shampoo and soap in open water - please don't. <br />Just because soap is biodegradable doesn't mean that it's safe to use in a lake or river. All soaps, natural or not, damage the environment in some fashion. <br /><br />If you have to wash in open water, please consider using a loofah or similar. If soap is really needed, then please keep a minimum of 200 ft between yourself and any body of water.
