I was fascinated by how much your bringing myself lol
We usually bring 4 or 5 six gallon jugs and that's enough for four people to shower for a weekend

*by odd coincidence, that's also about the amount of rum I bring for me*

We don't come every weekend. But we bring a full shower with HOT water. :)
And between 65 and 300 gallons of water - depends on the rest of the packing.

I know that this year we will be camping the weekend of Nov. 01.
You're welcome to come take a splash. :)

300 gallons of water?   ??? :o

We just bought a new shower enclosure at Cabela's and I can't wait to try it out.  We also have a Coleman Hot Water on Demand with shower adapter and we're bringing about 50 or 60 gallons of water with us for three people.

I'm so glad the wife doesn't get on the forums. We bring 10 gallons, no heater.

Wow, nice to have allies!

I was looking at the heater things today even...130 bucks to make water hot. Just seems kinda wrong to me. Odds are we'll break down and do it sometime....maybe. Personally I like warming her back up myself!

SHOWERS! What, do you need to take a shower for it's only two days! It's not like you have been out in the field chopping cotton all day.  And I really dought anybody could smell that bad in just 2 days. If it was 1 or 2 weeks OH HELL YA!  Sorry yall, I just don't see the point.

The Lady likes her shower, and I get to camp this way...it was our compromise.

It succeeded in getting the point across didn't it? Not quite as extreme as burning a flag, but I managed to survive the attention getter.

We just heat up water in a big pot and put it in a foam ice chest.  You can get a $20 battery operated camping shower head at Target or Walmart and just sink it into the chest. Push the button and plenty of warm water to wash the day's stink off.  Of course in a shower enclosure or a couple of tarps strategically (sp?) helps if you are bashful.

Washing the stink off usually assure a little extra friendly relations in the tent later, BPC! ;) :o

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. 

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