I bought a big pressure cooker off of ebay (also another at a garage sale as I like spares, ha). It holds over three gallons which is enough for a good Navy shower if you aren't too muddy or sandy. Anyway I modified it with a pressure relief valve, a schrader valve to pressurize it with compressed air, and a dip tube with kitchen sprayer attached. I've used it by filling it with water, heating the water with the lid off to the EXACT temperature desired by the showerer, and then putting on the lid, pumping it up with air, and showering away. No danger of overheating and I don't exceed 15 psi which is what pressure cookers are designed to work at. As a plus I wash the dishes in it and when the dishwater gets a little cool it's a simple matter to warm it up a bit.
Outside the box yes but it works for me.
