In the service we had to take sea showers. You quickly wet yourself, turn the water off, lather on soap and shampoo, then turn the water back on, rinse quickly, and done.

Use lava soap bars, available at any Walmart for a few cents, they are gritty and will easily scrub away grime.

You can't go to a truck stop and take a shower?

>2 gallon bucket

Get a two gallon garden sprayer, fill it with water and leave it in the sun.

Ta da! Warm shower.

you can also clean your hair with baby wipes

OP, all you need to do is visit a washroom and use their paper towels to degrease your head. There's also dry shampoo you can buy which will kill the grease without requiring water.

Learn to love your new, shiny, head

Set up a rain collector and a shower bag.

Shower like the nips. Sit on a chair with a bucket of soapy water and a loofa. Soap and scrub then rinse with the soapy water and finish rinse with clean water from a solar shower bag.

I have an RV.

Off grid for 6 months? So I'm taking it no water or electric hookups? Not sure what you'll do about heat then, travel trailers are usually not very well insukayed, especially if you're living in an older or cheaper one.

A typical travel trailer water tank is 40 gallons. If you take a 2 gallon shower a day, you're not going to last very long. Remember the shower needs power to operate too. You're going to need a generator as well.

Just skip showers a d use baby wipes if you can. If you do shower you just turn the water on to get wet, then turn it off. Lather yourself up, then turn on the water and rinse off.

Why not just park the travel trailer at a campground ? You'll have water and sewer hookups, and be set.

So you're going to working on a pot farm.

>What are some tips on quick showers?
Two 5Gal buckets, washcloth. One bucket is for washing, the other is for rinsing, after you're clean, wash your clothes, do your dishes, then dump the wash bucket, rinse bucket becomes new wash bucket, old wash bucket gets clean water and becomes rinse bucket. You can get by with about 1Gal/day for as long as you need.

You can also dig a big hole, line it with a tarp, cover the bottom with stones, and heat up rocks in the fire that you set on the liner-stones for a hot bath.

Camp showers are also pretty great, but require solar heating and have limited capacity.

Here's a possible solution: Pick up a big roll of 1/4 inch black plastic tubing, coil it into a big disk on some plyboard, top with a thin sheet of plexiglass, attach one end to the bottom of a 5Gal bucket and the other end to a valved sprayer head.

If you stop using shampoo for ~2 weeks and wash only using water, the natural oil your scalp normally secretes called sebum (which is what makes animal fur soft and shiny though they don't use shampoo) will regenerate. Shampoo washes it away and makes you dependent on buying more shampoo to achieve what sebum does naturally.

The only downside is that those 2 weeks are miserable, as your hair will get really stiff and gross until your sebum levels are back to normal.

I havent used shampoo in about 2 years, just dig my fingers into my scalp under warm water. I get compliments on how soft and nice my hair is all the time. It only works with shorter hair though, you just look greasy and unclean if its longer then 1.5 inches or so

Nopoo is a thing yes

Just get a towel and a small wash basin, soap up the towel and scrub yourself as normal.
Then rinse the soap out of the towel with water, and use the damp towel to remove the soap off your body.

Then dry yourself.
Not complicated

You can get a 12v immersion heater that can boil a cup of water in a minute so you don't have to worry about cold water either.

>>987177
You could clean yourself with a cloth, and then shower in a closed system. You get clean and enjoy a shower.
Plus it's a finite volume of water, so it makes the grey water meme actually viable.
