Solar showers

[zerzura]

I've used the Duckworks set up for the last two years and it is awesome. It kept the water hotter after sundown than my old solar shower, was easier to tote around, and the pressure worked way better. Also didn't have to hang it above my head. I also use it to rinse dishes when we take it regular camping. I discovered buying all the parts and putting it together myself cost about the same as buying the finished product from the boat guys; although you can just get a black garden sprayer or paint one and put it together it yourself.

As I said previously in this thread, but now I have a picture:

There seem to be two kinds of solar bags: the cheap black ones and much more expensive ones that have chosen grey as their plastic, made by Stern or Advanced Elements...all on amazon of course.

I've never used the expensive ones but I can tell you right now, as others have mentioned, do NOT fill the cheapos full. Water weighs about 8.3lb/gallon, which puts 41lb of water all hanging from a short plastic tube inserted into a sleeve of very thin vinyl. And once there is a tiny rip, the end is near, with no way to jury-rig a fix that I've been able to come up with.

Just buy two cheapo black ones and fill it no more than 2/3's full.
