I was just about to fall asleep and in a half asleep / half awake state inspiration struck.
My idea is to use a 7 gallon plastic tank and a small 110v pump to fill the tank from a stream/lake/water source. Bonus points for a mesh filter on the hose end that is pulling water in.
Then use a 1500w immersion heater to get the water to a comfortable temperature.
Then switch hoses/connections on the pump and pump warm water from the tank to a handheld shower head.
Voila.
Hot showers in the sticks. No propane or large gas heaters needed.
What am I missing?
Edit: Maybe a battery powered pump to reduce the risk of electrical shock?
