The Road Shower is the perfect invention for those who can't stand to be dirty for long. Created by Joel Cotton, this simple outdoor accessory lets you shower off after a long day in the woods, at the beach or out on the trail. The shower is pressurized using either a CO2 canister or a bike pump to ensure that you aren't just pouring water on yourself. On top of it all, the water is also heated.
The tank of the Road Shower can hold up to five gallons of water, and its all-black paint job helps to heat up the water inside (you can let out excess heat using a release valve). The nozzle of the Road Shower features seven different settings, which is more than some showers at home have. Cotton is currently trying to get the Road Shower into commercial production and is seeking $15,000 on Kickstarter.
