Hint. It takes a real man to use one.

Its worth it tho after a few days of hiking your butt off.

Appears to be a water pump off of a vehicle. Hooked up to some sort of warm water supply I'm guessing.

Not warm enough to melt much of that snow! I bet the use of that sprayer is measured in seconds not minutes.

The outfitter I worked for tapped a shower head onto a beer keg that was spring fed, and mounted it above a weed burner. Even with limited water and several freezing moments it was a priceless commodity 7.5 miles away from the road even in late October.

We call it the "Colorado shower".

Its a water pump same kind as in an rv. We heat the water on the woodstove and mix it in a 5 gallon pail until its just right. Just make sure you heat the tent up to take off the chill when your done. Yes the use is measured in seconds not minutes. Usually takes about 3.5 gallons to wash all your cracks and crevices. It's cheaper and easier than going into town a couple of times for a shower.

Here is a shower solution that uses hot-pressurized water, can be used inside your heated tent, captures the water and drains it outside.

It took me a couple of years to figure this out and get all the parts to work together properly.

Ive gone through a series of methods to shower when hunting( and camping) .The best is a natural hot spring
2nd was a pressurized hydrant in the desert 6 miles to the nearest house. Hook up a hose stand in the back of the truck and blast the grim off of me
Ive user a weed sprayer, worked well enough
A hose in a 55 gallon drum
To many lakes creeks and springs
This year I switched to a 20 oz bottle of water from over the truck defrost Someone got an eye full this fall I stopped at the end of a road, a whopping 9 degrees pulled off my shirt exposing my 6-pack; covered with 40 lbs of fat ooops I moved to the other side of the truck only exposing myself to the wilds of Idaho instead of the camper 100 yards off
Unlike Six I stand on my truck floor mat instead of ice and frozen rock,.. Hm that truck floor mat has seen a lot of shower run-off

And a few un planned bathes going though the ice,..

I really like the pump up sprayer model. I wish I would have saw that before I invested in the one I built.
