Solar camping shower bags are a great way to get clean in the outdoors. You can take them anywhere: on camping trips, hunting, fishing, boating or any other outdoor activity. Just fill them with water and leave them out under the sun for 3 hours and you can then enjoy a hot shower for up to 5 minutes.

There's only one problem however: the shower bag has to be hung high enough so that you can stand beneath it. And unless you're The Hulk it's not so easy to climb up a tree with a 5-gallon shower bag filled to the brim. These things weigh about 45 pounds full.

By using the manual pulley system shown in the video it's a lot more realistic to hang a shower bag, even for one person, although you will still be using a bit of muscle to lift it up. For two people it's not too difficult and a real solution to hanging a full solar shower bag. But if you're one person, you're gonna need some mechanical help, unless again, you are the Hulk.

A few tips: it's crucial to use a solid rope such as one made of polypropylene and to make sure that the stake is planted firmly into the ground. Also make sure to test the solidity before standing underneath the bag.
An alternative to using a stake is to tie that end of the rope to another tree close by. I recommend doing that if possible because the stake might not be planted firmly enough into the ground depending on the soil conditions.
