Did you know you can build a shower out of a five gallon bucket? Well, now you do. There are many different methods to go about this. You could of course simply stick little holes in the bottom of your bucket for a very low-tech method, but we’ll show you a better method after the jump.
The bucket-shower you see above was designed by KGB survivalist, who explains how to build this shower step by step in his video embedded below.
Using a standard five gallon bucket, a valve and some additional equipment he manages to build quite a nice shower. If this looks like too much work for you however, we have a better solution: A portable shower! This shower is battery powered and merely has to be stuck in a source of clean water to spray your body.
Worth mentioning is that the battery-powered shower is very easy to recharge.

This works much better if you add a pipe inside the bucket that goes from the pvc outlet straight up above the water level to the top of the bucket. It will increase the water pressure 10 times. The way he does it, will create a vacuum that slows down the flow. Learned this by experience.
