pump can generate. So why can't we have a 6 gallon, flat black little

Well, maybe in Georgia it will work, us Europeans will get luke warm
water for 99% of the time. Oops, I mean -- it will stay *COLD* !

Not hopeless, though. Have used them in Finland couple of times and I
tell you water can get real warm if you leave the black water bag in
sunshine for whole day. It has more to do with black plastic
absorbing sunshine than outdoor temperature.


Sun? Where?

You can always tell when people are from an area where the sun doesn't
shine normally: they'll be the ones that are tanned from catching those
precious rare rays; people from sunny places stay out of it at all costs...

And yes, I have severe sunburn from last weekend's very rare combination
of sunshine with warm weather :-) here in the Netherlands.

I saw on the news that it was nice in Finland as well?
