> Oh, what I would give for a nice warm shower!

I use one of these when I car camp. Amazon, probably Wallymart or a sporting goods store.

Fill it up, put it in the sun for a few hours.

Power is out and won't be back for 10+ days. We don't have a generator either

Don't read SI too much or you'll run out of charge unless you have alternate means to charge your phone!

On that note:

Does anyone have one of those solar cell "charger" for USB devices (including iPhone) ?

What do you have and are you happy with it?

I looked at Amazon and there are solar chargers which charge an internal battery which then either charges your phone or acts as an external. But the not too good reviews sound fairly reasonable (well, one reviewer complained his device melted in the hot sun, but he doesn't go off on rants so maybe that happened)

TIA

OT, jef, I knew there was someone besides Pup in possible danger. Sorry I forgot it was you. I don't seem to be able to keep track of everyone's whereabouts.

Glad you are OK. No shower, hm? I'd hate that too. Do you have a gas range? Can you cook or heat water?
