Good but not perfect - NEMO Equipment Helio LX Pressure Shower

I bought this to use on a backcountry elk hunting trip for showers and washing dishes. I haven't been able to use it for that yet but did test it in the back yard. Here are my observations. It is very well built of high quality materials and should be very durable. Filling it, operating it, and cleaning it is very easy. The item description said it weights 2 pounds but I was skeptical so I weighed it myself and it really does weight only 2 pounds. The base works well but you must have the base fully extended. It builds up pressure well but the little water spout does not put out much water. Also, the pressure dies pretty quickly in my opinion (noticeable difference within 30 seconds) so a lot of pumping would be needed for a 5 minute shower. Overall though, for 2 pounds, no batteries, and high quality build, I will keep it and enjoy hot showers while in the backcountry.
