The 15 gal. grease drum shower had two rings on it. I'd keep ambient water up to the first ring, & a bucket of hot water made the temp just right with plenty of water. Coleman lanterns for light at night. I also used it twice at night going to check out reported injuries. We had to go in with enough canned, boxed, etc. food for the three to four month period. Sometimes the packers would drop off fresh squaw bread or a steak. Now those guys have solar panels, batteries, & all kinds of other stuff.

I don't know if you've ever read this book. A backcountry Ranger who becomes missing. Good book...
