I don't care who you are, the fact is, the majority of us need to shower eventually. Has anyone used the "Zodi Shower" ? I generally stay out in the field for two weeks and have really grown tired of sponge baths...
I am curious if anyone had used these, they look pretty slick.

It looks interesting but the $ is too much for me. Wouldn't the shower bag option be a little more economical?

If you're a slave to comfort and don't mind packing in the extra weight then it might be for you . Other than give you a 10 minute shower instead of a 5 minute shower it really doesn't do anything than a much lighter solar shower will . In fact , you could pack in 2 solar showers , one to get wet and one to rinse at far less encumbrance than a Zodi™ .

How much sun do you need to heat the water in a solar bag?
Being from the not so sunny state of Washington i guess i'm a little skeptical of solar anything.

About 3-4 hours . Hang it before first light and you'll be able to take a shower when you get back from your stand . They will heat up to a comfortable temp even on cloudy days .

I'm from the Idaho Panhandle - there is almost no way you can heat up one of those bags during rifle season out here. It's either cold, or it's cold and cloudy. They just don't heat up that well.

They don't work well when temps drop much below 60 degrees , but you can always use them as a reservoir and heat water over the campfire . Showering outdoors during very cold temps is usually a bad idea anyway .

I used something like the one you show in the picture on a remote bear hunt this May in Alberta. We used water from the river which was very cold, filled up a garbage can and in a few minutes had HOT water. I believe the one we used had 2 burners, and the weather was not really cold. As long as there was water in the garbage can & propane in the tanks we had hot water

I would recommend the use for a "hunting" shower

good luck

The camp site where I hunt does not have water and a buddy of mine uses that thing and he swears by it. I use a cypress head behind my tent..till it dries up..then go home bout once a wk.

Iguess i'll have to bite the bullet and buy one
probably a two burner one ... it sounds like the wife the wife is planning on borrowing it to use on a couple of the horses as well.
