As we prep for our first trip (just a weekend, we're beginners), can anyone give an estimate for how long 33gal will last? wife and I, and 2 dogs. 2days? 3days? obviously depends on how much we use, but a rough estimate would be appreciated
Without further info, your question is impossible to answer. Some people could only go one day.... others, maybe an entire week. Usage is key and everyone's idea of boon-docking usage is different. Do you take long showers? Do you take very short 'Navy' showers? Some take no showers at all... just washcloth baths... Do you wash dishes? etc. Even simple act of washing your hands can consume fair amounts of water if if you turn the water on full and wash thoroughly rather than let the water dribble over your hands while soaping and rinsing. With 66 gallons of water we have boon-docked 12 days and had a tiny amount left over.... using pretty strict usage practices.
