Let the preparations begin -- boondocking shower head

This coming spring we are headed for our first (of many) long term trips which will include several days of boondocking (no hookups or better known as dry camping). So we are making preparations to help make this type of camping a little easier on us.

Today was the first project to help with our boondocking experiences -- the installation of a new Oxygenics shower head.

You may ask yourself how will a new shower head help with boondocking and that would be a good question.

You see, the old shower head was a very inefficient type which would use more water during our dry camping. And water is a vitally important commodity when you aren't hooked up to utilities! So we need to save as much water as we can thru...conservation, conservation, conservation!

The Oxygenics shower head has a "...patented Oxygenics Engine that supercharges any water pressure, turning weak little flows into satisfying showers..."

One of the best parts of this whole idea of boondocking is that Bettina gets to experience the life of a combat soldier by experiencing "combat showers"!

Since taking to the RV living, she has gotten to see just a glimpse of my deployment life.

The first time was when she had to trek 1/4 mile in the cold, misting rain to go to the bathhouse (better known as a Cadillac when deployed). Then there was the cooking on the outdoor stove (better known as a field kitchen)! Now she'll get to have a combat shower!!!!

Welcome to my world and I'm so glad you get to experience life the way our Soldier, Airmen and Marines serve every day on Afghanistan.

For those who don't know what a combat shower is, let me explain. The steps are:
1) turn the water ON to get wet
2) turn the water OFF
3) lather up and wash the body&hair
4) turn the water ON and rinse, quickly
5) turn the water OFF...you're DONE!
Note: This whole process should take no more than 5 minutes and use about a gallon of water.
