I've been thinking about making this for awhile and had some time this afternoon and threw it together in about 5 minutes after I had all of the materials needed. Pretty easy concept and not really an original idea I guess (I've seen camp showers similar for sale on the South American Jungle River website for around $50 or $60).

I made it because I'm a cheap bastard and I'm going out on the road in September and will be traveling by truck and camping along the way.

Anyway...just thought I'd share.

That's pretty fucking dope, I've seen similar setups where that pump is replace with a gallon jug and hung upside down under a tree but yours is much more refined. 10/10 would shower again.

Thanks man! Yeah, there are a lot of different camping showers out there. I may build another one in the future with a small battery powered electric pump that you can just throw into a bucket. This one is so simple to make and will suit it's purpose.
