Water, water everywhere not a drop to bathe

Having a bath is such a luxury on the camp. It is ironical that you are staying on a frozen sheet (s) of water and getting water for a bath is a pretty tiresome endeavor. The first thing that has to be done is to go to the ice mine and dig up ice. After some intense labor, you can get a couple of multi year ice that you collect in troughs and bring it to the kitchen. Depending on your frame and predicted duration of your bath, that could easily be a couple of trips to the ice mine.
Once the ice is collected, the next stage is to actually melt them in a large pan in the kitchen. This could take an hour or two. Then comes the fun part, where you pour the hot water into the "2-stroke engine" and using the piston you pump the water through the faucet (picture below) . The water in the device can give you a nice supply of hot water for 15 minutes which is the maximum duration that a bath could be.
So you spend 2 hours collecting ice, 2 hours melting the ice and you get a 15 minute shower; a totally useless investment...and surely not a daily affair. It was funny because anyone who had taken their bath would hit celebrity status for that day on the camp, talk about being famous for at least 15 minutes!!! (The pictures were taken Robert Harris)
