How to Save Water Boondocking - Full Time RV Living

OMG! I am so honored, that you shared my Mom's story! She always been amazing to me but to hear your salute to her has brought tears to my eyes. I cant wait to show her the video tomorrow. Safe travels my new friends!

We were so honored to meet you both! I had a couple of people as me if I would interview her. I never thought of that but she would have been great to interview. Anyway, we hope to meet up with you guys in the future and share a longer visit. Enjoy the botanicals and be safe out there.

Gosh this story about Fays mom gave me goose bumps !!! Next time y’all go get your mail I sure hope you can meet up and we can all meet Fay and her mom !!! I am forever grateful and indebted to our military for the freedoms you have given me, but a true pioneer in the field is a precious piece of our history.....thank you thank you thank you, thank All of you !!!

[@ridingtheroad185]

Don't throw out your dishwater! Use it to flush the potty!! In our sticks and bricks house we had to wait 9 months for a new well to be dug! We learned ALL about water saving during that time! When you have to take a huge 250 gallon tank somewhere and back fill your home regularly you learn FAST about doing it and with 3 kids!!

[@todayissomeday]

We do dump it in our black tank. Sometimes to flush sometimes just to dump. But you are right it should also be used!

[@debraeaves6544]

the water you saved in the shower can be saved for a so called spit bath. Warm the water on the stove and in the shower use the water to get wet and then soap up and use the water to rinse.

[@kellyanderson210]

The JAG story was awesome and a testimony of the human character and perseverance!

[@todayissomeday]

I agree with you 100%. I am still in glowing from that chance encounter.

[@browniac]

First let me express my eternal gratitude to Mrs. Faye for her service, dedication, and sacrifice. I do not have to words to adequately say what needs to be said, all I can say is THANK YOU!! You guys are rocking on the PT, Phil I saw the shot of those tri's, not too shabby my man, I can tell you seen the front leaning rest a few times haha!! Great tips on the water, I had never considered the rotation from the shower to rinse to wash, mindblown. Genius ideas that I will definitely put to use. Thanks for the great video, you guys never fail to put together an awesome one - safe travels!

[@todayissomeday]

I agree with your completely! Faye and her Mom are just amazing!! He has done one or two of those in his day! We are popping them out again!! Gotta tone up!

[@monon1971]

Dish washing: I start with just enough water to start, maybe 1 in or so to wash silver ware, then as I rinse I am adding water to wash dishes, as this goes on I have enough water to wash pots & pans. This cuts water down by about 50%

[@todayissomeday]

That is brilliant! I love it. Thanks for sharing!

[@playinatlife5778]

I like the tip about 2 bins in the sink. I use cold shower water for the dog's water dish. My tip (in addition to foaming hand soap) is to dilute shampoo a bit. You still get the lather, your hair is just as clean, but it takes a LOT less water to rinse out the shampoo. Also use "leave-in" conditioner, then no water wasted to rinse that out! Can also dilute dish detergent.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks Lori!

[@dawndisney7465]

My fav tip, that's similar to this one, I put Shampoo on my dry hair right before I jump in, that way your already shampooing as soon as you get wet initially. I use the collapsible bucket for catching my cold water, that way I smash it back down and store in shower!

[@karengann9615]

We have been catching the cold water at the beginning of our showers for years in our sticks and bricks. We have to pay for our water and it really saves money. We use it either in the washer or to flush toilets. Also have a dehumidifier in the the basement and use that water in the washer.

[@todayissomeday]

Wow that is very clever and a great way to save $$

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

I don’t pay for water but have some friends who hooked it up so the washing machine rinse water drained into a washtub and then back into the washer for the next load to wash, good way to conserve water at home anyway !

[@tfrye008]

Awesome video as always! Glad to see you on the road again. For us, we use a dual shower head. One is a full flow, the other a low flow. We switch heads for hook up versus a Navy shower. In addition I have a switchable set of T-fitting’s in the backend of my external shower which switches me from the primary feed to my grey water or a set of 7 gallon Walmart tanks. Most of the stuff I’m spraying down outside can leverage the grey. And if fresh is needed, it’s there. And if off grid I can leverage the portable cans which are easy to transport for a refill. In addition I have a 5 gallon under the kitchen faucet as an accum tank so I don’t have the pump running as often.

[@todayissomeday]

Wow! You are really set up for water savings!

[@MrWilfredoSantiago]

I really liked this video. The way you took us around with you and giving us tips as you went along. It is amazing the people that you meet as you go on your travels is amazing, what a wonderful woman that overcame tremendous odds against her. My favorite water conservation tip was the cooking ahead of time. I liked catching the water while it is cold water in the pot. Mayra and I would use it for our water distiller and make drinking water since we would heat up food in the microwave oven and use disposable plates and utensils for eating so there will be minimal dishes to wash. Still my favorite retired military RVer couple.

[@todayissomeday]

Aw shucks!!! Meeting people like you guys makes this all the better!! Great idea for your water use. Hope the transition is still going smooth!

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Please be conservative of using disposables, paper plates aren’t so bad but plastic utensils ☹️ a wet soapy rag and a cup or two of rinse water is all you need for silverware :)) thanks !!

[@bcfriardoyle7697]

Love catching the cold water pot in the shower. We took solar heated showers twice this past week in our shower tent. We were at Hovenweep with only flushing toilets. I thought I would never take a shower like that but it was amazing. None of our energy sources used. If y'all have never been to Hovenweep y'all would love it but don't plan to use the camp ground as it is older and was originally created for tents.

[@TheTinCanTravelers]

Thanks for the great water savings tips...we sure learned a lot. First thing we did to conserve water was to change out our faucet aerators and switched to low flow .5gpm. Also we switched out our shower to a RV Fury by Oxygenics. 👍🏼

[@todayissomeday]

You are already doing it right. We have something new were are trying on our faucet.....will review it later if it works well.

[@roydavis2242]

I don't do buc-ee's because they don't allow semis thus they don't have the high flow diesel pumps that most truck stops/pumps have. Our son-in-law is talking about a transfer to San Antonio (works for Gov. Contractor) but we won't be changing our domicile state to Texas. RV over 26K weight and Texas requires a special driver's license. FYI Absentee ballets are always counted. Newmar has a shower design that circulates the water back into water tanks till it heats.

[@todayissomeday]

The Buc-ees pumps are just as fast as the truck stop ones we have used and they have two to three times the lanes to use. We wish there were more Buc-ees off the interstates, The drivers license isn't too bad.....written test and driving, just time consuming. Interesting concept with Newmar, had not heard of that.

[@roydavis2242]

The EPA regulates the speed used at pumps. The ones at the auto island are regulated at a slower rate then truck island but not all truck island have the high volume pumps. I have a 200 gal tank which can tie up a pump for 20 min. if empty.

[@mikeanderson6473]

We use the dish water to fill the toilet for the morning #2 fill and flush. We also have a 5 gallon Igloo for our drinking water. It rides in the shower on travel days. We wash dishes starting with very little wash water and the rinsing adds to it as we rinse into the dishwater.

[@lenlewis428]

Water Saver You take your Rinse water and use that to Flush the Toilet instead of just dumping it in your Gray Tank. Or you Filter it and Water any of the Vegetation that is around your Campsite to save Gray Tank space and help out the plants. This works in the winter also. Joan

Thanks! I guess you knew the trick all along! lol

[@davidranger9502]

This is probably one of my favorite episodes. You kept me engaged. Good Job! As a tin-can sailor in the early '70, fresh water was a luxury. We would sail often for the closes rain storm to go on deck to have a rain shower. Life lessons has help us to maximize our boon docking experience. For comment, I would add that we replace our traditional water heater in our RV with a on-demand gas water heater and set the temperature to a comfortable shower temp.. Very, very little wasted water doing the Navy Shower.

[@todayissomeday]

Thank you so much! That means a lot to us! We would over to switch to on demand. It is on our someday list! PS Thank you for your service!

Foaming hand soap, for those quick rinse your hands after using the bathroom. Also Camp shower wipes.

Forgot about the foaming hand soap....great tip.

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Another idea is spraying with vinegar and water mix and wiping out dishes and pots and pans with a paper towel before washing saves on garbage going into the tank and less water washing. Thank you for sharing !

If you are camping on west coast like Calif if you look for fair grounds as they usually charge $25 a night and they usually have full hook ups. In Lancaster it is $25 for back in and $35 for pull thru. I know in Santa Barbra it was the same when I stayed there. So just some info to check out if you know the city you can call ahead just look the city fairgrounds and happy camping....RickM117 - Rick Madison....

[@todayissomeday]

That is a great idea! More and more of these fairgrounds are popping up too!

[@julieh3327]

We are actually watching this video for a second time! It was good the first time but I learned some from the second time as well. A tip we have learned in the interim is using a spray bottle with water and a little bit of liquid soap in it. You spray your dishes etc rather than putting them into a water bath to get soapy. That way, you are just using water for the rinse process!!! At the time when we watched this we are I think 24 days from the election and your story about the 81 year old lady that was a JAG is inspirational. Thank for sharing.

Ditch the weights, save the diesel get a set of X3 bands. Bands are tightest (most resistance) at the full extension, which also happens to be where you are strongest...different thicknesses for more or less resistance. We have them at the gym and you are less likely to get injured using bands as well. 👍👍

[@raymondschneider5217]

Saving the shower water is a great idea. Saw on another YT channel, where they saved the water in a water pitcher, then, used that water for flushing the toilet. A pretty neat idea, I thought!

The only problem with a flat top is , you have to keep it cut or it starts to look like a porcupine. Phil it does look good , as I lose mine I've thought about it more than once. My dad kept us 3 boys with a flat top growing up.

[@robertgiese4913]

When I stayed at a corporate campground as a guest, I had no hot water. I bought an pressure-type insecticide sprayer and filled it with water. I hung it in a tree outside my trailer during the day. When it came time for a shower, I simply transferred it to the shower stall and used the pressurized water for a wonderful hot shower. CAUTION: The water will be very HOT!

[@todayissomeday]

We just took a 6 week trip in our Casita Travel Trailer. We used Huggies Natural baby wipes to clean up on the days we didn’t shower. My hair is long, so I braid it to keep it from getting as dirty. I also prepared food ahead of time before boondocking so that all I had to do was heat it up on the stove. The other thing that we do is we have silverware for at least 2 days along with us so that we can not wash dishes for a couple of days. We just save the silverware for the next day. Thanks for sharing your tips.

[@itsPreznt]

A spritzer bottle with plain water just to rinse hands after eating or any other lite duty occasion where water would work. too long of a list, just use your imagination. A second spritzer with water and some vinegar for dish rinsing/washing.. again for lite duty cleaning. Not for cleaning the 'rib' tray! ;) great for cleaning anyting that shines or glass too. the vinegar acts as a sanitizer and grease cutter and odour remover. You could do the same with lemon juice. It would smell nicer but probably cost more. I would toss my full dish pan into the plants or grass during hot summer months to help the greenery also needing water. So many places enduring drought these years! The trees and grass need the water too! Hope this helps.

Good informative video. We use all the above but rather than heating the shower water on the stove (uses our propane) we have an electrical kettle and it boils the water in about 60 -m 90 seconds rather than 4 min of propane, and it has been cold enough at night for the last few weeks that we have been using the furnace every night.. Keep enjoying the adventure. We hope to be out of Red Bay on Wednesday and then off to a couple of state parks in Tennessee.

[@todayissomeday]

It is a balance to decide which on to use electric or propane. It takes us forever to use up the propane so we usually go that route but you are right if we need the heat nightly it does play in our decision.

[@roadster2776]

it is a little off topic , but i hate my rv to be dirty , and i noticed someone else washing their rv with a bucket , but they squeegeed , the excess water off without rinsing , i modified it a bit and added car wash & wax additive , to give it that extra bit of shine , and happily noticed that the squeegee removed a lot more dirt and left it shinier and mostly streak free , and only used 2.5 gallons of water ,

[@todayissomeday]

[@dzymslizzy3641]

Most of these tips I've known for years, given that I grew up tent camping. There is no 'waiting for hot water:' there is none at the spigot down the road. You carry back a 3 or 4 gallon bucket of cold water, (very heavy and awkward when you're 12 years old), heat as needed for cooking, dishwashing, or sponge-bathing in the tent. The main bucket is your supply of drinking, cooking, and toothbrushing water. That said, I have what I think would be a great idea for water conservation in an RV, but it would require an engineering solution, and I'm not qualifed. But here it is: figure out a way to route gray water to use for flushing the toilet, so your potable water isn't being used that way. Another double-duty water-saving use before the wastewater hits the dump station!

[@todayissomeday]

That would be a game changer for our tanks that is for sure!

Thanks for hanging out with us. I haven't heard about evaporating grey water I will have to check it out.

[@dawndisney7465]

Ditto, I'm gathering info for later use. I'm addicted to ymrv videos!

[@RandomBitsRV]

LOL, when we go to Texas to see family, we camp right by a Bucees. I enjoy stopping when I'm not traveling. It's an event all by itself. Thanks for posting great Content. ET2 Mike. LOL

@Stacie, have you thought of writing a cook book with all the different meals you create during your rving ???

[@todayissomeday]

I eat way better than I cook!

[@lisauntethered8059]

Very cool story at the end!!

[@todayissomeday]

Right! I was just fascinated talking to her! We were so lucky to meet them.

[@cheriedwards8536]

We’ve learned so much from you guys.

[@michaelkelly7680]

What? no bloopers? Love the tips, always great information. Really enjoyed the story about Faith and her mom!!!

[@todayissomeday]

Right! It was really cool. We have been so blessed to meet so many amazing people on our travels. I can wait to see how enriched our lives become as we meet more people from so many walks of life! No bloopers! I guess we are getting better.......naaaa that cant be it! lol

[@tinaburns2680]

Loved the video! Would love to meet you while you're in Texas!! We are looking forward to hanging out with you both....we love the banter and ideas you share! You should do a meet up while here!!! Hugs!

[@todayissomeday]

We had one in Austin a while back and it was a blast!

Squee! Buckees is THE BEST! It's absolutely impossible not to go inside when you stop lol. Would resistance bands/system give you a similar workout, but without the added weight of gravity-based weight system? 🤔 random thoughts Thanks for showing one of the ACOE parks you guys speak so highly of. I was so curious after all your descriptions! I love how Phil talks smack about Stacy's glamping showers and brags about his Navy shower capabilities, but runs dish water like it ain't no thang. 😂🤣 You guys are great. That pot in the shower trick is SMART!

[@todayissomeday]

Bands would certainly do the trick!!!

[@jet0577]

Looks like Buckees in Gonzales TX

[@tonibrunson7017]

I have to say. I would love to time my week off with you being in the Utah area. We would love to spend some time chatting with you guys.

[@todayissomeday]

If we are ever in the same area just let us know and we will see if a meet up will work.

[@donwat91]

I'm sure you've heard of COMBAT SHOWERS? As a aircrew member you don't always have the time to get to a laundrymat. So we had to jump into the shower with your clothes on . As you wash your flight suit , you take it off after a wash and rinse and then the tee shirt and skivvies, I guess that's what they call underwear in the NAVY. Socks and then you shower.

[@marczdrojewski3061]

You guys are awesome!! Hope to run into you someday

[@todayissomeday]

Us too!

[@MrRoboto2338]

The Non-Navy shower = Hollywood Shower

[@todayissomeday]

You know it!

[@johnnylightning1491]

There's something wrong this you guys, you let Escapees put you in green folder, don't they know that navy goes in a blue folder, really! The other is you didn't give the best water saving tip of all, shower with a friend. Ya know it was all the rage back in the 70s or 80s (I'm getting old and can't remember too good anymore)>

[@todayissomeday]

They must have have received the blue memo! Please stop giving Phil ideas! There is no way we would both fit in that tiny shower!

[@n1spirit]

@@todayissomeday - LOL! Y'all are great; I'm so glad that I stumbled across and subscribed to this channel. This is yet another great video from the both of you. Now, get in there with Phill and "git ur'self clean missy." (kidding) Livingston is beautiful, btw.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

No time for funny business in a navy shower 🙄

[@robinwoodard7898]
