Showers are maybe the best thing about Pods. Holy crap, I can't imagine having a hot shower right there and not using it after a couple of days of camping.  There are fairly simple ways to make the water last or add more.

"Couple of days"????

every day. sometimes a couple times a day.

But, I have been places where there was NO shower for many weeks, and the conditions were hot and miserable. I may have.. "shower issues".


ALSO, as an edit and side note.. bunch of pods and friends are going to be at Cages Bend this weekend.. I don't know how close you are, but stop by if you can.. (I don't think anything got mentioned about it here on the forum)

Sounds like some of the field exercises and deployments I was on when I was in the Army. Once when we were on an exercise in Germany, we finally got an opportunity to go to a facility for a shower. When we walked in, it was steamy. I anticipated a nice, hot shower. However, when i got in, all I got out of the shower was cold or colder water. Thumbs Down Still, it beat trying to wash up from a 5 gallon water jug outside the tent in Korea when it was quite cool to begin with and the water was ice cold.

I appreciate the ability to take a shower if needed. I also know I need to conserve water, so a sink with some water and some shampoo/conditioner/body wash that does not need much in the way of rinsing helps.

My 10 year old grandson's remark when I asked him how he liked the new 180: nice shower. Honestly. 🙄
