Hope It Works!!!
Just got done making a rigged solar-shower out of my old black 4-L MSR dramadary bag, large round grey Pur Hiker fitting for the top of Nalgene bottles, and an old Platypus hydration tube and mouthpiece. The Pur fitting fits perfectly into the MSR bag large opening, and the Platypus tube fits onto the plastic Pur piece. I figure the thing will definitly heat up water when left in the sun, and when I want to bathe, hang it or hold it up, and I'll just have to squeeze the mouthpiece and aim the water wherever needed.

I made it for Bonnaroo this weekend, but heck, if it works well, I just make take it hiking with me.
