bizzard Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Procure a suitable tin can or a proper watering can with multi=hole rose. Punch many holes in tins bottom with a nail,suspend from something at a convenient height above head ie tree branch.Erect a windbreak FIRMLY around it,place warning signs either side about 50 metrs away from the contraption,for privacy. Heat water,pour into top of tin or watering can,Strip off and indulge,more invigorating during the winter. Can also add detergent ect ie Swarfega,paraffin if your extra grubby or even shower gel. If you like a long shower use larger tin. Sorry no pics available. bizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
