4 of us are going on a hunt and will be able to drive into our camp at 10,000'. Is there an on demand portable water heater that will operate at that altitude? Thanks for the help

I have 'The Cube' portable camp shower and used it one year at about 9,300' and it did fine. That's the only time its been used.

This is what I do. You'll want a windscreen at that elevation.
I've seen (maybe on here?) people using weed sprayers (the ones you pressurize with a hand pump) to make their own.
Another option could be something that heats off your vehicle's cooling system.

Zodi makes a show that's a metal garden sprayer style that you heat right on a stove. It works really great.
Zodi extreme shower.

I have the zodiac extreme shower as well. Haven't used it at elevation. Use whatever means you have to boil water.

Ive painted a 2 gal garden sprayer black, hung it it in the sun, set the nozzle for a mist and you can get a luke warm, quick shower in the afternoon.
Use a zip tie for a loop to slip over the handle so you can be hands free.

Only good for 1 shower a day tho

Zodi extreme shower." "Yes I have one of these and it is one of my most important pieces of gear in my camp kit. Works pretty well, and even better since I changed out the shower Nozzle. If I can get the funk off of me every other day, I can hunt more effectively and just feel so much better. LaGriz
