Any Brats out there with the portable Coleman Shower Question

I'll rant and rave about them, to-be-sure Thumbs Up

I held-off on it, cuz I thought it was too complex and all Rolling Eyes

but after let'n my buddy "Fatso" get one and try it for a year, with no problems----I went for one. No regrets. Just can't beat the simple operation, and the portability. Favorite thing to do; just haul it ashore to one of them tiny little fresh-water-sheds in the sound, and ya get an almost unlimited supply of the softest water you ever showered in. Luv it Love

While we're on the topic of the porta potty vs. marine head vs. jars etc... I just thought it might be a nice time to remind people that (according to BoatUS)

"One of the most common causes of COB (Crew Over Board) and subsequently drowning is a crew member relieving himself over the side of the boat in a standing position."

Hence, (guys) regardless of what you use, use SOMETHING for gosh sake. Same hold true for those with motion sickness - far better to use a bucket or the head than to risk falling over. It's becoming standard practice on charter boats now to require those who are sick to use a bucket due to losses of passengers in the past...
