| Zodi X-40 for camping and emergency hot water needs? Anyone out there in G&G world have experience using the Zodi X-40 for your camping or emergency hot water needs? We're looking into adding one to our preparedness items and would appreciate some feedback from G&G members who've used one...

Too gimicky! We (me, wife kids) have taken many a sponge bath just heating water on an open fire. For a simple convienience here is a decent item that cost less and is more reliable. It's not necessary just to use solar. We often fillit 1/2 with cold water and pour enough hot water off the fire to get it the right temp. it goes a long way. eBay Motors: 2-1/2 GALLON MARINE RV CAMPING SOLAR SHOWER BAGS 40072 (item 380018929566 end time Apr-24-08 18  18 PDT) | |

| I have those solar showers, be careful they get very hot. I learned my lesson the first time I used one. |

| Super Moderator   | Sportsmans Guide has a much better deal on a portable propane shower! I just bought one of the Propane / Battery fired units delivered for less than 150 bucks ! They are in use all over China I found out...Mine is an Eccotemp L5 for LPG, and uses "D" batteries for the Ignitor...Great for an On Demand heater... Rich

| My Zodi X-40 arrived. Yes, it's a bit extravagant, but it'll sure be nice to use it when the power is off, or the well pump is down for a spell, and we're needing a shower... What do other G&G members have/use for a back up plan and suitable equipment to meet health and sanitation needs in an emergency situation? Plus, this Zodi X-40 will be a good item to take along on extended camping trips... **** Rich, Thanks for the info on the Eccotemp L5. It looks like a very good emergency/camping water heater option. How has it been working for you? Do you have a battery powered pump you use when using it in the wild? If so, what size of pump, GPH? http://www.goenergysystems.com/Eccotemp_L5_p/l5.htm
