    Good evening all. Can anyone recommend a good water carry solution for overlandling? Mostly looking for something that will give me a good shower after a day on the MTB trails.

    Thanks!

    We carry two 2.5 gallon containers on the side attached to the molle panels. For a shower we use a 2 gallon solar water heater/shower. It by far isnt perfect but it gets the job done - for the shower we will use creek or well water if it is clean. If not, we use the water we brought and refill it as needed

    Get a Scepter 5 gal jerry can, tons of ways to pump it out through hoses, even electric ones. Though if you are only using it as a shower the shower/solar shower kolter suggested is fine.

    I use a Yakima road shower, pressurized with a small portable air compressor. Mostly cold showers, great for cleaning Flyfishing waders. 7 gallon tank goes pretty quick, refilling is a little tricky, use a funnel. Also use a 2.5 gallon portable tank IMG_1651.jpg
