We have one of the simple bag style sun showers. I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder!Showers were mentioned........keep in mind that showers don't have to use fancy potable water. Get a 5 gallon sun shower bag, fill it with water from a lake/stream/river, hang it in the sun for a while, and use it in a portable pop-up enclosure (which is also nice for a portable potty arrangement). The whole set up takes up almost no space and is extremely light weight and those warm showers feel good.
A second idea is that I've found using several smaller containers stashed in various places is much more packable than trying to keep all the water in one place. So, when camping and traveling to places that have no water, I just get some standard 2.5 gallon jugs of water from the grocery store and scatter them in places they fit in the load (upright of course). I get one per day to supply 2 people and a dog with all needed water for drinking/cooking/cleaning. I've never had one leak, but I always check to make sure they are not damaged to start. Next food resupply, I get new jugs and toss/recycle the used jugs.
