My portable game washing station

I like to tinker with stuff. I hate it when I'm hunting and I get all bloody and want running water to wash my hands with. I also like to wash out the body cavity on any game that I get. just in case the bladder was punctured or there was a gut shot or for some other reason the stomach contents might have escaped the stomach.

I came up with this:
I got the pump from a hot tub but a washing machine pump would work as well. A bilge pump submerged in the barrel would work and could be run off of 12volt power, say, the power from the 5th wheel connection? The 15gal drum came from a hotel supply store. I run the pump off of a 100watt inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter. This set up doesn't produce much pressure but it does a good job of allowing me to wash out body cavities and clean my hands. 15gal of water will do about 3 antelope and my hands.

Way to go macgyver, now you just need to find something non-toxic to add to the water to keep it from freezing.

Leave it 5 gallons short of water. Keep 5gal up in the cab. Get one of those portable hot water heaters for camping and recirc the water till it all thaws out?

Take a tap off the heater lines on the truck and run them back to the bed of the truck and put a coil inside the drum?

Awesome idea, might figure a water trough warmer or tape that can work off of a power inverter to keep the water from freezing on the hoses and inside the tank. But this looks like a great idea :thumb

We've had some mornings in the low teens and there has been just a little ice on the top of the barrel. Not enough to stop it from working. At some point it will freeze solid, but when it gets to that point, I think I'll just give up on the convenience and go back to the old fashioned way.
