"In our boondocking (dry camping) seminars, we talk about how to conserve fresh-water usage plus decreasing the amount of water going into your grey tank. It fills 2-4 times faster than the black tank. We addressed several water-saving techniques in our last article entitled, "Stay Longer and Stay Free by Boondocking (Dry Camping)."

Another easy method is to take more efficient showers. Often called a "Navy" shower, this is a technique the Navy uses to decrease the amount of shower water an individual uses.

Navy shower isn't hard..., did it for real back on a submarine in the 70s. Karen, on the other hand, still hasn't got the knack.
Funny video. Reminds me of opening the front door to get the cat bowl -- only to find an armadillo eating at it.
