.. Oh wait.. I have access to the participants showers with hot and cold running water... nevermind..

Only if you get there before the females use all the hot water...

True, although you are not as fortunate as some who are able to have a "late" shift where we can get in there after cannon so there has been time for more hot water to be made.  There is another way, but I'll not post it publicly 'cuz I don't wanna tell EVERYONE.

There is always the tried and true method that works well for many others.  BABY WIPES!!!!  They were good enough for me in the Desert in 1990 they are good enough for me at camp for one weekend.

That was our preferred method before I bought the shower for this year.  I think I'm going to make a run to Home Depot and try to fashion a shower stand out of conduit.  I can't seem to find anything that fits my needs at Outdoor World.

Or just go by your local pharmacy/medical supply store and buy some adult bathing wipes. They're bigger than baby wipes, don't make you smell like a baby's butt, and actually get the job done. After my knee surgery back in 2004, I had to use them because I couldn't get my bandages wet.

If I were camping just for the sake of camping, I wouldn't bother with a camp shower.  The camping though, for us, isn't the main focus; it's the Faire.

Plus, of course, the women traveling with us are insisting, so I might as well get to be clean as well, since we gotta prepare for that anyways.

Um..if I didn't have hot water, I wouldn't camp! Plus...I don't drink rum, so I have no issue with sharing my hot water secret with Killians better half.... ;D
