Last year this time I was already in the woods spending a couple of days in my crappy old pop-up camper, next to a stream, sitting by a fire, and drinking wine and enjoying the solitude...
Chomping at the bit to go out for at least a night and clear my head like only a campfire and a clear stream can do. But, way too much snow up there still, so may have to wait another 2-3 weeks.
Plus, I now have a girlfriend, who loves the outdoors, but demands a bathroom and a shower for more than an overnight trip.
Getting a port-a-potty and a port-a-potty shelter for her.
Saw some very cool homemade solar showers on Youtube. Used a 6' section of 6" black PVC that they installed end caps on, a fill spout, a faucet, and a schrader valve. You used your portable compressor to pressurizes the thing and attacked a garden hose and spray nozzle to the faucet. The sun warmed the water and the thing was pressurized enough for a couple of ten minute showers.
The whole thing mounted on the roof rack of a Jeep. I have since installed a roof rack on my pop-up for transporting my pontoon boat, so the shower would mount on the side of that perfectly. Then I can use the port-a-potty shelter as a shower room.
Now that's some luxury camping there, I tell ya'...
