Summer Camps and the Coronavirus

[Sniktaw]

So jealous of all these experiences. We are allowed groups of no more than five, so no camping and very little in the way of get togethers until, I guess, there's a vaccine. It's Zoom meetings for the foreseeable future.

#1 complaint was no showers, they had to use spigots in the campsite. The PVC shower they created fell apart while the first scout was in it. So far no problems.

Brainstorming for future reference ... right now is a good time to snatch up 5 gal bottles from office water coolers. Because of restrictions, many suppliers aren’t taking them back. Careful pioneering, some work with stoppers and hoses, and you should have a camp shower.

Suggest for showering using garden sprayers. They are fairly common and come in two sizes, 1 gal., and 2 gal.  We've a small collection, about five or six now.  Here's our setup..

1. Water, 2. Distill Water (for back flashing water filters), 3. H2O + 10% bleach, 4. H2O + Lysol, 5. H2O + 25% citric acid, 6.  H2O + Pinesol

For showering, a gallon of water is more then enough for one shower.  And about half that amount of water for rinsing and sanitizing dishes.
