Duct tape really is a camper’s best friend! Speaking of creativity, how about adding LED lights to your shower area? Why not make it a spa experience?

LED lights would definitely enhance the vibe! Just remember, setting up a shower can take some time, so plan ahead and enjoy the process. Happy camping!

Planning a camping shower involves choosing the right spot! Look for natural barriers for privacy and ensure you’re not too close to any water sources to minimize pollution. Biodegradable soap is a must to help protect the environment.

It’s usually about 3-5 hours in direct sunlight, which isn’t too bad! Just make sure it’s flat that whole time. And don’t forget a towel for post-shower comfort! What’s your shower routine while camping, Michael?

Great idea! I love the bucket tip too! It really does help in conserving water and keeping campsites clean. Do you have any specific soap brands you recommend?

I usually go for Dr. Bronner’s! It’s organic, biodegradable and versatile. Just remember to scout downstream for anything that might be affected by the soap. Always good to keep fellow campers in mind too.

A big one is timing! Take showers when others are less likely to be around, like early morning or late evening. It makes for a more enjoyable experience for everyone! Plus, don’t forget to clean up afterward!
