Building a RUSTIC Solar Shower – Off Grid Living Part 9

We’ve been living off grid in our tent for a few months now and as the summer weather heats up, we’re increasingly in need of better shower facilities. We’ve tried a few camping shower solutions but none were really up to the task so we’ve been making do with a bucket of water and an old chair. Luxury.

In this episode we scavenge and reclaim a bunch of materials from our scrap pile and from other places around the property to build a rustic outdoor shower. Follow along to see what happens…

  1. A few vlogs ago… you mentioned about a corner 'pantry' style unit..I watch 'The Gosforth Handy Man' and he mentions having fitted such a unit…but is extolling its virtues. Thought you might be interested. He also exactingly shows 'how to' n 'how much' re many building, plumbing, carpentry jobs etc. He is a very good egg. I hope you find this useful. https://youtu.be/r4Eqg9tYC_k PS. the corner pantry is at about 9 minutes in. xx

  2. I completely understand your OCD regarding the wood, I am the same. It is so much easier to have things organized. Congrats on the shower room, well done. Love your videos and watching your progress.

  3. Who gives a fig about what anyone thinks about what YOU do with YOUR stuff! Good on you for RE-USING things that would have just gone to a dump somewhere! 🙂 You're recycling your stuff, so THAT, my friends, is a GOOD thing! 🙂

  4. ❣️I agree – reuse, recycle to help our environment. 💕 Both of you are doing a GREAT job👍😁👍 Brush off negative comments. I love your location and everything you're doing to your beautiful property 💗🌟

  5. And the Oscar for the category of "Sustainable building and double entendres" goes to……… Kylie and Guy!!!! Yaaay. Great stuff. I'm glad you're reposting your old videos. I'd seen them all before the previous channel closed, but they are all worth watching again. Happy Christmas, folks.

  6. Hello Kylie and Guy, Thank you again for the videos and hard work. I am following a french man that is renovating an old house for several years now and is also a craftman ( he has a channel called Bichon TV). Last episode he uploaded he talked about how impact tools were really bad if you are seeking for strengh. Basically impacting a screw this fast into the wood damages the metal and the wood and they wont "fuse" as stong. the screw are more fragile, can break easily and support way less weight. For a temporary solution I think there is no problem, but it may be interesting to seek more info before using those kind of tools for the house renovation. I'm sorry I don't have any real scientific article as it is not my area of expertise. Have a great week and christmas ! Looking forward to follow your journey 🙂
