the Marines are just a department of the Navy...

seventy five days from receiving a letter that said;
"Greetings!".

I like the Tiny House post about their setup. Okay, with 2 gallons of hot water I could probably get all my hair WET. Hmm...i wonder how big a tank i could get on one of those...
This is what I've been doing.
I use about five quarts+ for a nice, long hot shower. Takes about 30 minutes to shower. Also,a six gallon,
low-profile plastic gas boat tank keeps the shower from needing a step ladder to enter. Thinking of hard plumbing an insulated 303 stainless steel tank. Might be a lot more convenient than having that sprayer in the shower with me.
I use Dove, or sometimes Ivory. One day I used Dawn ("Get's grease out of your way!"), and soft water. It took a lot of water and a lot of time to get that stuff out of my skin.
Not as nice as a tankless hard plumbed shower in a warm bathroom, but it's a far cry from the shower tent.
This is a poor option for the future as G'ma gave me a very firm "NO!"

Why would you waste all that time when setting up a real shower is easier,a RV water pump, water heater ,fiberglass shower enclosure,I live off grid in the middle of nowhere (nearest neighbor 7 miles)but I don't rough it,I have more than enough to keep me busy without wasting half the day to take a shower. I've seen these TV shows where the people live like back in the 1800's hell with that it's cheaper to live if you make your time count on things that can save you real money
Rocklock, did you ever get your eccotemp set up? How's it working out?
I thought if you lived off grid you didn't have to shower. Otherwise what's the point....
Been looking at land that's off grid lately, guess I'm gonna have to start paying attention to things like this.
