Nothing feels quite as refreshing after a 10-mile hike as a hot shower, but good luck finding a YMCA in the backcountry. Enter the Zodi Extreme, the hot shower of choice for backcountry use. Ideal for logging road campers and hunters, the Extreme is extra-durable, with a rustproof stainless-steel water tank and a powerful 10,000 BTU burner. To use, simply fill the tank with water and place on the rugged stove, which doubles as a cooking stove. Within five minutes, the water will heat to 100-plus degrees F, giving you plenty of hot, invigorating water for your morning or evening shower. The system also includes a one-piece hand pump that pressurizes the flow without batteries, along with a 6-foot shower hose with a showerhead and on/off control valve. And the system is a breeze to set up, requiring less than a minute.
The Extreme, which also sports a handy thermometer that displays the water temperature, collapses for transport and comes with a gear bag.

Customer Reviews

I had been using the solar shower bags for years and found them to be adequate however I could never really stand up in shower because the bag hung so low. This year I purchased the Zodi Extreme Shower and it rocks! On 2.5 gallons of water you get just about 4 full minutes of running water for a shower. The directions say no more than 20 pumps but I have found about 30 is right. It heats up the water from a chilly 60 degrees to a nice warm 100 degrees in about 10 minutes so its pretty darn fast. You get great pressure for showering and I can stand up! The only bad thing I can say about it is that the hose is far too short (about 6 feet) but a 10 foot length of the same hose from Home Depot and some couplers and hose clamps (total of about $6 and I had a nice long hose. Other issue is that someone needs to turn it on and off for you since once you heat it up you really can't take it into the shower tent with you. Other than those to minor things I love this shower! I don't have to worry about how cold the water is or whether its late at night or not any more. This is a must have if you camp a lot and what a hot shower where there are no facilities!

Made in China, but with great materials, except for the head. I bought this so I don't have to mess with batteries. This is a good piece of engineering, very durable and well thought out. Some have complained about the time it takes to warm the water, well many don't realise how much energy it takes to heat water, so unless you have a system that can output this amount of energy this is a great plan. It's easy to plan ahead of time and one full tank is enough for two persons if all you do is wash. We heat up the water and use a large storage bin to bath our baby in. I then re-use the same water, add a little heat and have a great shower. The included stove can be used for cooking, but small pots might will not fit well.
Pros:
1. Great quality, stainless steel tank, metal pump, rugged materials.
2. Good design, easy to see temperature, no batteries required
3. An extra replacement rubber seal and rubber pump valve is included
4. Included Stove
Cons:
1. Hose is a little short
2. Open/Close valve can bend in packing, but is easily repairable
Suggestions:
1. An included hose for a propane tank would be great
2. A clip on the hose to ease hooking onto a tree
