Wet down. Soap up. Rinse off. A gallon is plenty of water for a make-shift shower.

Just be sure to check the water temperature. It can get pretty hot in the summertime. You can also use hot water for washing dishes or clothes or whatever else you need it for. Next morning, refill and do it all again! 1 gallon per person per day is good.
