I'm going to Montana in September for elk. I'm wanting to get a good camp shower. Looking for recommendations. I can use the 1lb propane bottles or hook it up to a 20lb. We will use lake water and filter it as needed. What have you guys had good luck with. 4 men for 8 days will use it so I don't want to get one that sucks. Lol.

My solar shower will not get the water warm enough for a decent shower unless it is hot outside. I use the Nemo Helio pump shower. It works ok. I boil a pot of water and mix it with the air temp water to get a decent shower. If you have the room I would go for something with a good heater and a battery powered pump with plenty of extra batteries.

We cut the top off an old 20# propane tank and dripped/tapped two holes, one for a temp gauge and one for a nipple for a hose. It’s been years ago but I think we may have welded nuts in it vs tapping but you get the idea. We fixed a turkey burner under it permanently using a little redneck engineering. We also mounted a flint lighter off an old lantern to the bottom to light the burner. We used a hand held shower head like you have in an RV so you can shut it off.
Fill the pot, hang it from a branch, heat up the water to your desired temp and then have a nice hot shower.

i bought the eccotemp 4 yrs ago for a wy pronghorn hunt... works great, IF THERE IS ZERO WIND. any wind at all will fault the unit, turns it off/on/off/on, and/or have fire coming out of the unit from all sides. it is very reliable, if you build a tin enclosure for it, which owner's man. says not to do...we used rv pump, 1 12v batt lasted all week. 1.5 version i think

Zodi works pretty good. I thought the flow of water was low but it was 6 degrees outside. We had a makeshift enclosure that made it bearable. I put a buddy heater in there and took a fast one! We stored water in a 5 gallon bucket and kept it out of the elements. A burner and a turkey pot with a submersible pump and a handheld shower head sounds like it would work good too.

Another vote for the Zodi. We have an ice fishing shack that we use for a shower stall. I always take a clean protein bucket to heat water in - a five gallon bucket would work too. I recirculate the water in the bucket until it reaches the desired temperature. We have used it in a camp of 12 for a week.
