    There we go...I like a warm shower for sure. Probably take a shower before the long drive home.

    There's lots of options. This is going to be a good get together I think.

    We've got one of those tents that is actually three tents with zipper tunnels between. We don't use the tunnels... We just get a big campsite and put the kids one the opposite corner as us :)

    Is a tent with closets for like long term use? I can't say I have ever heard of that, but don't doubt it.

    You can use a solar shower or a better I operated submersible pum in a 5 gallon bucket. They both work good. The solar shower is a 5 gallon bag that the sun heats up and you hang it inside on a pole so it gravity feeds. The 5 gallon pale you fill 3/4 full with water and pour boiling water from the fire into the remaining 1/4 of the pale then submersed the pump. The pump is what we are going to do. They run off the car charger port or batteries.

    I'm thinking a pail of water will be a quick shower, but I do like the idea of the heated water from the fire vs. the sun's heat on the bag. I vote for the fire water!

    Dont underestimate the power of the sun. If you fill those solar bags in the morning and have them in direct sunlight all day you will have a nice hot shower before dinner. Theres nothing better than taking a hot shower in the middle of nowhere with steaks and mushrooms and onions cooking a few feet from you.

    Solar shower bags are usually seen on the front deck of most sailboats during the summer. They work really well.

    Seriously, what does it say about Apple's clientele when a user types DIY and Apple's autocorrect assumes you must be talking about a DUI.
