So, just in case anyone is watching this. We did in fact find many road closures so here is the route we took. It was great, but getting down to the Merced river / Briceburg was impossible from 5 corners. Many roads have closures right now due to washouts etc. The trail to Trumbull Peak looked...
The jerry's have a big enough mouth for me to get some water good and hot and mix it for a comfortable shower. Add the lid and a little air pressure and you are good to go. Also nice for doing any camp dishes when it is cold as hell out so your hands dont go numb. My camp pot does have pour...
Wifey is doing her first backpacking trip this weekend with a borrowed bivy. If she likes it and wants to do more, ill probably pick this up from you. We are just over the hill in SC.
I have added water warmed via fire/stove into my jerry cans to warm up the water for the wife when needed (she is really the reason I have all this, I can make do with wipes or just whatever because I am camping) so something you can put hot water in is an easy solution. Or you can go with a...

I have on board air already, so you can either pressurize the can once, use it till your flow runs out and refill OR build a short air line with a regulator...
I use water cans with a modified cap so I can pressurize it with my on board air. They live in the shell and get warm enough for a decent shower. I keep 2 in the corner so I can open the windoor and hook up to air and water, set the shower tent right there and away you go. Cheap-ish, easy, and I...
Thanks again for the info!
I have no problem spending a bunch of time on dirt, and would prefer it honestly. So it seems the best plan is to head down the trails, and then back up on Sunday. to pick her up. Is there any allowed unimproved camping in the area you are aware of?
Thanks!
Heading up June 23 evening to drop the wife at Hetch Hetchy, will camp there w her crew for Friday night and then they / I will head out the next AM.
Trying to decide where the best camping spot would be, and if I should run down the trail sat, camp, then return Sunday to pick her up or just...
