- Supplies:
Neighbor’s hula hoop (free).
Shower curtain (from our house).
Shower rings ($3).
Adjustable height tent/tarp poles (from my shed collection but any pipe would work as long as it is the correct length).
S Hooks to hang from pole and support the hula hoop.
And a willing participant to hold.
Hey there, I had the exact same idea over here in Germany. I installed a hulahoop shower on my campsite veranda ;-) most peaple laughed at my idea, but hey two years on and it still works a treat. Keeping it simple - Good on you!
The things we have to do to find solutions to life's problems. Great video🙂
Maybe you could use a long enough bungee cord to hang it from a tree. First, throw the bungee cord over a tree branch. Then hook each end to each side of the hoop. Also, I'd place a patio/ stepping stone to stand on while showering. Finally, you can use an Evian bottled water and drill a lot of small holes into the cap or buy a cheap shower attachment that fits any water bottle. P.S. a small wire rack can be used to hold toiletries and a mirror. Hope this can help someone does not want to buy a camp shower tent.
Ya know with 12, 3 foot - 3/4 inch pvc pipe and 4, 3 way pvc elbows, and 4, 3/4 inch insert cupplers you have a free standing shower that you can take apart and store in a bag. Cost around 25$ to 30$. Grab a pack of shower hooks and a cpl cheap shower curtains from walmart and bobs yer uncle.
The "solar shower" bags, which come with nozzles, can be filled w/water heated other ways too. Shower curtains can be hung with clamps, magnets, magnetic hooks, velcro, Etc.. Also, if coat-hanger wire or other loop isn't ideal, Hula Hoops exist that are assembled from snap together sections for variable sizing, and, if added to mid-section of curtain ... vs just at the top, help keep shower curtain from clinging to your body while washing. A shallow rectangular drain- water collection plastic "tub" w/lid can double as storage for an easy, cheap, indoor/outdoor shower (&/or "wet bath", if portable potty fits inside drain pan footprint to share privacy that shower curtain provides, +/- folded potty or folding stool w/bedpan & bio-bag, fitting in shower's closed storage container). If you have a pop-top van that you may leave down for stealth camping (or camp in a passenger vehicle), it's not hard to tweek this design to accommodate a combo shower/sponge bath from a seated position (while on either a car seat or seated on a closed potty that fits in the shower's drain pan, Etc.). So, you needn't rule out having a shower, a toilet, or a full "wet bath", even in small spaces!
We have the same camper and it's a pain. We cut down 3 juvenile trees (on our land while we're clearing brush) we tied them together at the top (they're about 10-12ft long) string the hula hoop by 3 strings at the top. Toggle tie some spots at the bottom and use tent pegs to hold it, so the curtain doesn't stick to your legs and butt.
Just the idea I was looking for
Make a 3 or 4 legged pvc bracket
“Shower as long as you want to, dear!”
Dirty dirty bird.
Nice video!
Tie it up to a tree
