@klramon We laid down a rectangle frame of 2x4's (about 6' x 10'), and then a sheet of visqueen to collect the runoff. Place a shipping crate on top of the visqueen, and your shower tent on top of that. All soap, water, runoff, etc. will pool up in the visqueen. As long as you ration your water and don't flood the catch-pool, it should evaporate. At the end of the week, you can fold up the visqueen and toss it in the trash - it WILL be kind of nasty and sticky from soap & shampoo residue.
I know this video sounds really funny- but out on the playa the dust is so bad and it gets into everything so Playa Showers and theories on same are highly tradeable. I hear people who have dust on them will pay any amount of money for showers - but at Burning Man you can charge..So what can you do
Is it actually allowed there? I mean what is with soap, shampoo and so on?

So when I run into you on the playa you will let me use your shower? Looks like it has some good pressure.
