Looking for some ideas, show us what you made in the way of packable Home Made/cobbled together Light Weight showers.
Thanks!

Carrying a shower sounds like a great concept but in general they are extremely impractical. If I was to do it --> I'd fill my Ortlieb pannier with water, hang it up, and use a tube to deliver the water via siphon. Personally I try to find a shower at least every three days or so. I use baby wipes for quickie "pit cleaning".

water in a folding bucket and a sponge works well, as does
bringing in your toiletries , and doing a quick sponging off
where you buy a cup of coffee and hot breakfast.

I have used these (http://www.rei.com/product/752797/seattle-sports-camp-shower-5-gallon) before and they work well. Heat up quite fast if you have time (day off), but you can also add warm water to them if you want to shower quicker.

A portion of that will work, all I will need is the hose, valve and the head pluged on to a collapsible water carrier. Thanks!
