Best Backpacking Shower?

[DownYonder]

Any opinions on the best backpacking shower?

REI - Sea to Summit is only 5.25oz and gets good reviews.

Any other good ones out there?

If you use a water bladder, that will work just fine. I've used a plastic grocery shopping bag. Fill with water, hang on a tree branch and pour over head.

I bought this one, never used it. Prefer to jump in a lake!

Bucket shower at Boots Off Hostel.

I used my water bottle. Drilled a few holes in another lid so it served as dual purpose. Although not a "shower" so to speak, it was really good for cleaning up after the days over, just before bed. Only extra to carrry was the extra screw on cap.

A very innovative idea but this is for my wife. She loves to hike and camp but wants a shower (clean hair, etc). Looking for something that will give about 5 minutes of water.

You need to find one of these sun showers. Holds 2.5 gallons so enough to wet down, then soap off, then rinse off. Takes 4-5 hours of sun to get tepid water of out it. Weighs 8 oz and is a bit bulky. I found it pretty much useless.

I have one somewhere and just want to comment that it can get hot, not tepid, but hot shower hot.

Used one in backyard plywood shower stall at a hostel once. Did the trick. Although i felt a bit exposed to neighborhood.

Jumping in the lake is a bath. If you want a shower, you need a waterfall. That was going to be my suggestion.

MSI 6L Dromedary with shower attachment. I heat 1 qt. of that water boiling hot which I add back to the creek/stream water in the Dromedary so as to avoid cardiac arrest. For me the its perfect size camp water bag- with one trip I have plenty of water for the evening meal and hydration with enough to fill my bottles the next morning.

The nearest body of water and some Dr. Bronners.

Dutch has this little light weight unit on his website.

I like the Sea To Summit bucket (10 L I think) that I can fill at a water source and then use the water to wash myself and wash out hiking clothing well away from the water source. Not a shower per se, but works just fine for me.

Daughter got me a Gegierrig hydration bladder a few years ago. Love it and works well to shower and rinse with

I use the water bottle just like Christoph.

If it was my wife, I'd be happy to hold the bottle for as long as it takes!

Baby wipes and water bottles can do wonders. I second the bottle cap with holes in it. You would be really surprised how some warm water in the bottle can work

the nearest stream, river or lake
