- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2023
- I build a rain shower from inexpensive materials. The main components are an on-demand propane heater from Princess Auto, some pipe, a rainwater collection unit and a few IBS totes. I also mill up lumber using my HD3 Norwood Portable Sawmill.
I will show you start to finish how to build an off grid camp shower using simple and inexpensive materials to make an on demand hot water shower in the woods.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!

I used to watch your videos all the time, but I watch a lot of other channels. RUclips just stopped notifying me like a year ago. That kind of sucks. But the good news in I now have a lot of videos to binge watch. Love you and your videos, you never see a problem and you only find solutions. I'm the same way, I used to think common sense was extinct until I happened upon your channel, hey they stopped recommending your brother too. And that guy from survivor...Fowler...wow. I got a ton of videos to watch. 😮😂
This was the best video evvvva!!!! A New England Term.
Kevin - as you were showing your pond, it made me think of a RUclipsr who focuses on his ponds, BamaBass - @BamaBass.
I usually have no interest in ponds. But, these keep me coming back over and over. He may give you some great ideas.
(By the way - you were one of the 1st youtubers I watched and kept following. You built a cabin out of plastic wrap.)
It's not a Saturday morning without coffee and Kevin.
So true! Love my Saturday! And Kevin of course - funniest guy ever 😂
Amen to that!
I agree!
Yes it is…
Kevin you cease to amaze me. You can build just about anything out of nothing to make things fancy. Looks awesome.
You mean never cease...
I declare Kevin is so cheeky 😆 🤣 he constantly slips in little innuendo. I love his creations and the way he shows you how make functional things with found items. He is a human sized tinker fairy.
Like it. Maybe add a shut-off inside on the shower head so you don't have to waste water getting in and out.
I have used one of those propane showers at work a few times per week for a few years. It's fantastic.
I love how you Kevenize & adapt things around the property. Those “cookies” turned out beautiful & serve a way better purpose than a stump…😂. Great job Kevin & Don 🎉
Now that was worth staying in on a Saturday morning in June for. I kept leaning forward in anticipation of how it was gonna turn out. Well done to Kevin and Don.
Nothing is impossible with Kevin and Don. Thanks guys, looks great.
I really like the cookie behind the showerhead and the little shelf you put in! All very clever! Us tall people would have to duck since the grate on the bottom, and the cookie behind the showerhead sort of cuts into the height, but what a fun treat when you’re out doors!
Just use a 3rd plastic part and cut a section to bridge the center gap so you can utilize the entire height of the metal frame.
This shower is amazing . Keep us updated on how the water heater goes !!! Thats so cool !! Great informative video as always Kevin! Take care and stay safe my friend!!!
They do a fantastic job. Made a shower myself using one of these and they can get that water boiling if you want it coming out if you want. Honestly a little scary if you don't have a fancy one like he does and just have a dial with no HUD. I'm sure you have over adjusted your shower temp in the shower but for these a small twist can be like 50 degrees.
If you plan on using it in more rugged environments in winter months though note that your propane tank will 'freeze' in North Dakota Winters. Learned that deer hunting one year because we couldn't get the buddy heater going till the tank warmed up. It was beneath zero for an extended period of time though and I'm sure a lot of environments don't see the winters that you experience in ND.
What about winter time...?
I gotta say, when I first saw the thumbnail, I wasn't too interested in outdoor showers, but by the time it was all done, I was seriously impressed!
Using the two water totes to build the interior and frame is outstanding!! I was immensely impressed by that, and would gladly copy it if I ever were to build one. The outside of it truly looks fantastic. You did a great job.
Other than that, the little touches, the light coming in through the plastic roof, the cookie that goes with the shower head, the nice wood platform and thinking rock as a nice sitting spot, all of it was spectacular and very entertaining to watch!
Amazing build Kevin, your talent and creativity is inspiring!
Kevin you’re just the best. You made me laugh before I even watched the video. You bring such a refreshing entertaining element every Saturday morning. Thanks for sharing these fun moments with us.
Sadly the majority of our phone boxes in the UK have gone now. However some are actually preserved and have been used as either small libraries, ATMs or houses for community defibrillators. Great video as always Kevin
I have an old one in BC Canada. I have thought to use it for my outdoor shower. Lol I am still not sure.
@@tracyg9721 sounds like a great idea
Pond looks amazing!
Dude I absolutely love your channel! You give me so many crazy ideas haha😜😁
I see what you did there with the Ferris Bueller thing. Very clever😉. And you can never go wrong with the Beatles. I’ve always wanted to have an outdoor shower. Awesome project.
Wow, you guys did an amazing job on the shower, my only question is how does the shower drain and where does it go.
Excellent job Gents. Love it. Next is a small change room where you can hang your towel, bath robe and stash clothes. Great job though. Lots love from South Africa
Very nice build! I have an off-grid rustic shower with instant-on propane water heater at our deer camp. We use a 12v solar-powered water pump. I have the heater mounted on the outside, just like yours, but with the controls facing inward. A cutaway allows me to adjust the heat from inside. Also the heater is not permanently mounted so I can drain and remove it when the temperature drops below freezing--which would destroy the internal radiator. We use a hand wand with on-off button, which helps conserve water while soaping up.
Clever & Classy!
Awesome job building a shower you and Don You’re awesome job bill in the outdoor shower
Cool but I would build a box shelter around the gas device to protect the components from the rain. Over time it could be damaged.
Morning all! ❤
Morning! Not that ive slept sadly 😂 Jesus Christ the sovereign God loves you 😊 I hope you can personally get to know the Holy Trinity, God miraculously healed me of my chronic breathing issues that plagued me for years on a near nightly basis if not every single night
God did this healing instantaneously within a group anointed prayer over my health, doing what nothing else would for years
Good morning to you!
You have created a fine weekend space for the extended family. Your children should have great memories from here.
I love your channel. Your creativity is amazing. Although a shower would have been one of the first things I would build right after the outhouse. The shower is beautiful turned out great.
Fantastic !!! All that I love !!!
Good job, guys. Now you need some marine grade urethane for that shower head mount and shelf, and the exterior..
Genius, love the shower so rustic.
I have been watching your videos for years and never knew you were also in Canada until you said Princess auto! amazing! Great shower by the way, I have also been eyeing the gasland on demand heater. Great video as always!
You need to make an automatic fish feeder. Something really cool.
I love the Ponder-Rock-sa ... I'd be turnin' it into an inukshuk ~
Great shower.
I agree, Eric, it's not a Sunday (for me) without Kevin and coffee.
Awesome shower ✅
I especially liked the revelation that it came with a towel holder. 😂
Cool shower. One detail I would add is maybe something to cover the seams of the plastic on the inside, to make that area a bit better looking.
That's very cool Kevin.
🤩👍 - Nice work! 100%
Kevin and Don killin’ it!
Shark cage !. yeah dog. Keep cutting
Cool saw mill
Its about time, Kev!
Cool😊
You are So Effin Awesome . I love All of it.
Maybe install some sort of lighting over the cedar shower head cookie to have an ambient light at night when showering after sundown
I hate those “crazy sharks and crazy land trouts”! 😂😂😂
Very entertaining!
Nice. 👍👍👍👍👍
Love your ideas. Any possibility of a future add-on: shut off switch in the inside. Allows for those modest folks to towel off from the inside
Best content on the web, let’s do this, got my coffee and my cigar on the back deck in the sunshine for this one, thanks Kevin God Bless
You and Don have done it yet again……pretty neat.
Great job!!!!!!!😊
This is Totes amazing
I love this idea!!!!
Kevin, great idea, I think you will find mold and mildew in your shower over time. Cover the roof and add a solar light.
The great thing with waterproof everything is power washing it takes very little effort. The whirly bird on the top pulls a pile of air out to dry it right up.
Nice project, guys.
Thumbs up Kevin and Don.
Great idea!!! Using those water containers and cages for a off grid shower. thanks!
Your creativity is amazing. Fantastic job 👍
glad to see Don again!
So cool! The off grid is seriously becoming a little town with all the necessities. Full stop! Pressing play and walking away now! Get those views!
Nice job love the shower......
I was told IBC means International Bulk Container, not intermediate, but IBC will do. Pretty good video, thanks.
Remarkable
Couple modifications I would make, to the piece of wood holding the shower head about six 1in holes drilled behind the shower head and an adjustable vent on the door for air flow and humidity reduction.
Hi Kevin. Just came across your channel. Superb design for a great idea for a shower. By the way If you are going to eat your Trout be careful what you feed them. Pretty much all fish pallets contain an enzyme in hepato-fact stabiliser Rafa. This is to stop the pallets going rancid as they contain after unfortunately if you do some research to find out that the stabilises are very harmful to human health when you eat a tractor is fixed so many of these pallets you we can see that this chemical Like smoking, it won’t affect you straight away, but over time, could potentially trigger A whole host of chronic diseases. I would recommend building a second pond stocking it with minnows Also, set up a Worm farm you can Big worms to the trout and use the castings on your garden. Just a thought
Man, you should insure your brain at Sothebys (a prestigious insurance company in London) to secure all these marvelous ideas you keep coming up with. Great job!
He's too funny 😊
Nice Kevin ❤
Great idea on making the outdoor shower walls, using those containers.
Puer genius using the framework as the main structure.
Awesome as always...
Love it!
Nice video. We are building a new bunkie and outdoor shower in 2024 and you shared some good ideas.
Didn't see what you had as a drainage, is it straight to the earth there? Dig a hole maybe? Or a pipe out to some safe place for the soap and puddle to gather? Enough to keep away from dropping down to your pond? Not sure the layout of the property, you probably have plenty of space in between.
Anyway, nice build. As you stood in it I thought maybe was too short. I'm thinking if I do this thing I'd add a foot or two extra space between the two cartons. Maybe get a 3rd for the gap.
Love the creativity here.
Last thought, is that instant water heater rated for outdoor use? I was just thinking maybe add a small awning roof and walls over the top of it. A little open cabinet just to keep rain 🌧 water off the top and out of the vents. Etc.
Great build, love watching these.
I would probably throw a mirror in there too. Super cool shower!
Kevin, you showed us another quality. You sing. Looking fore a yellow submarine to send to your pond.
amazing and this may help someone I know who is planning to retire off grid.
I saw this video, or one like it, longer ago than the upload shown here. It's a great idea for someone who has IBC totes with a side blown out, making it impractical for its intended purpose. The only thing I'd change is the height above the floor. This is ideal for shorter people.
Ohhh ello mate❤
I am a modern off gridder!
I just did an indoor shower yay! Xo
Everything ive imagined off grid life youre bringing it to life from the water collectors off the house to the shower that is dope !!! I wanted to do the water collector thing for a garden as well 😁 thank you for the videos truly are informative!!!!
Loved this! Ingenious 😂
Damn that's the Cadillac of showers my man
Build a oldschool 18:33 phone booth next brother💙💙💙🍻🍻🍻😎🔥💪🌮
My inner plumber thought...
Did you consider turning one of the totes upside down and using it as the floor for drainage?
Great idea that I'm thinking about using here in Hawaii. 🤙🏼
What do you mean exactly? Turn one of the totes upside down for drainage how?
I think this is one of the nicer off-grid showers I’ve ever seen. Love it!!
Love your work, Do a little research on pond inline uvc sterilizing light. Couple of pond guys highly recommend.
Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great project!!
Very cool build! (As always!) You never cease to amaze with the creativity and ingenuity of your projects. Love the cookie shower head, my favorite part 😁👍
But please build a tiny circular porthole window in the door, maybe cover with a frosted glass film 🤔
Hello from the Netherlands.
if you make the water supply tap on the inside you can save a lot of water.
especially in between when you soap yourself and then rinse again
thanks for the video.
Sincerely Hollandduck
#AWESOMENESS 😎👍
it will be great in the winter ..
You never fail. Thank you. Enjoyed dis so much. How are you comin up wit dees ideas. Don’t stop I’m here for it all
