It'll sure take care of the chiggers

I just last summer bought another one for the remote cabin. Old one leaks. New one is about half the weight, and poor quality. All I could find tho.

We like to put it on the wood stove about half filled with water, for on-demand hot water . Take that, Renai!

For baths, we have an elongated one to use inside if the skeeters are real bad, otherwise for showers we use a solar-heat bag, hung from a limb outside, filled from the tub on the stove.

Never wash my face in the same water my ass is in.

Nuts, butts, pits, and face....
Not in that order of course,,,, face is always 1st.


Never done the full blown cowboy wash tub deal.
But if I did I would make sure my 6 guns were under water too.
Cause you never know when a bad guy is gonna try to get you!!!!
