    A great camping gadget, the portable shower!

    It's called the Risepro Portable Shower Kit. You can use it indoors or out. Good for camping, watering plants, washing cars, etc. You just need a water source to drop the cordless pump into. It can be small like a bucket, or big like a lake. I actually used it as a mini bilge pump to drain a compartment on my boat. And I used it to water flowers at the front of my building. It comes with a suction cup and hook mount so you can use it as a hands free shower. The shower head water flows at approx. 2 liters per minute and up to 5-7 minutes shower time with 10 litres (2.5 gallons) water. Of course the shower you take will be at the exact temperature of the water you placed the pump in. On a hot day leaving a bucket of water in the sun for a few hours should make the water warm enough to enjoy a shower. It comes with a USB pin-type plug which I'm not crazy about. It would be better if it used USB-C or micro USB, cables we all have spares of. You can charge it via USB, portable mobile charger, or from a laptop. The company says it works up to 60 minutes continuously after a full charge.  It works pretty well as you'll see in this week's show. And it was just under $30 on 8/14/21 on Amazon.
