Camping:Create your own bush Hot Water system

You can use a good stainless steel barrel as this will not rust. Alternatively buy an old reject beer keg to make this hot water system.

Directions: Cut the top off the keg and turn upside down on top of base. Weld a tube into the center long enough to reach nearly down to the base of container, when it sits on top of base.

The diagram on the right shows the water in the heater. Place this container over or near hot coals to heat up. When you want some hot water, slowly, pour cold water into the top. This will cause the hot water to overflow into the waiting bucket under the spout.

CAUTION: Be responsible, never leave any open fires, unattended, while in the bush. No one wants to be the cause of starting a bush fire.

This is the best way for cooking and catering for larger numbers of people while in the bush.
