That is amazing Zach but shouldn't they be concerned about cleanliness?

More likely they should be concerned about bears!   :o

What about mosquitoes? They'd probably sit around and watch - mosquito porn.

I saw that comment - too funny!  Like any bear or other wild animal is going to come anywhere near that noisy generator in broad daylight.

Honestly, sluff, I doubt it's that much dirtier than my cat-haired house.  As long as you use aseptic techniques with anything that's going to touch blood, I don't think it's much of a problem.

I seen this lady on YouTube long before I got my NxStage. Between her, Bill and Adam, this is the reason I got one. I plan on doing this in the woods as well. Anything to get out of this chair and have a change of scenery..

Thanks Bill. That one worked. I'd be scared to death to try that.  :cuddle;

I'd do that in a heartbeat but my husband only likes serious wilderness camping that you fly into on a pontoon plane with whitewater and canoes involved, hopefully seeing not another soul for the duration, hanging food packs in trees , maximum exposure to winged insects, the occasional bear "encounter" and freezing water temperatures SO...I'm gonna pass.  But for sure I'd take my Nxstage to a spa.  Ahh a nice reflexology treatment while I cleanse my red fluid...now we're talking.
