And the most recent use at the Crossroads of America summer camp
(Ransburg - on Lake Monroe in south-central Indiana near Bloomington)
Their Iron Scout program's base camp had a spigot and hose in the middle of a
field for a water source. An A-frame lashing, some side rails, and a tarp
quickly formed a poor-man's shower. After the first cooling off under that cold
strong stream of water, I took a 35mm container out of my pack, punched tiny
holes in the base, added a couple layers of DUCT TAPE to the end of the hose,
and proceeded to attach the new SHOWER HEAD. Worked great all week!!!
You can also attach a 35mm 'shower head' to many water carrier's nozzles
so that a rope can hoist the water jug up, and another rope can tilt it to turn
ON and OFF your field shower.
