Hiking bath - it's real

After a hard and tedious route, I want only one thing: to fall to the ground, to throw off the unbearable weight of the backpack from my shoulders and forget myself to a dead dream. But a heavy tourist plan does not allow so much to relax. The tourist has a lot of duties in the campaign. It is necessary to break tents, collect an impressive supply of firewood, build a fire and cook something edible on it. After that, you should try to wash off the mud yourself and eat a cooked dinner.

And only after fulfilling all these obligations can you wash and go to rest. The question is, where do you get so much strength? Tourists from the outside seem to be iron people, able to do without TVs for weeks, and without warm baths. After all, if you can wash with cold river water or spring water, then it is simply impossible to fully swim on a cool day.

And here on a gain to tourists there comes also a natural wit, and the modern industry. Today, a marching bath is sold in stores, you can buy its collapsible version, or you can just buy an easy oven, but for a true fan of hiking this is not an option. Why drag in an unimaginable distance what can be built on the spot?

Apparent impossible at first glance, this problem is solved simply. The hiking bath with its own hands is being constructed quite quickly, and the materials for its construction can be found without any problems directly on the site of the halt. If the parking lot is long, then you can make a bathhouse and more reasonably, so to speak, reusable, but we will now dwell on how to make a bath quickly and with minimal use of forces.

The hiking bath begins with the collection of large stones and a stock of firewood. Both those and others need to be filled with a margin. Then we build a canopy. As such, can be used as tents, and just pieces of polyethylene or raincoats. Their main task is to keep the heat inside the sauna. In order to make it warmer, you can throw over the fabric lapnika or just cover the branches. The cloth stretches between conveniently located trees or between the poles driven into the ground. The second option is even more preferable, since in this way the hiking bath is made of any size. The floor is covered with moss, straw or the same lapnika. A hearth is being built in the center, and it is desirable to collect as many stones as possible. It is heated stones that will provide heat in an improvised bath.

Around the hearth are placed all the pots that are available, filled with water. There will not be a lot of water anyway. Even if you do not use it all, it will come in handy for the next person who wants to wash. After all the firewood has burnt out in the hearth, and the water almost boils, you need to throw a piece of polyethylene or cloth over the walls, wait a little while the air warms up a little more, and you can go to wash yourself.

Before the firewood is burned, do not close the top. Such a hiking bath will be more like a gas chamber full of smoke and carbon monoxide. And when the wood burns completely, you can not be afraid for your health and swim without any fear. Even with a broomstick, it will be possible to slip, if you do not sit too long in it. After all, not only that behind you lined up the queue, and so warm the sauna does not last very long.

And after the bathhouse and strength is added, and the dream will be strong and calm!
