Water Bag Carrier

[GrizzlyGrant]

If such a thing exists? Iv been searching most of the afternoon for some new kit/upgrades.

Usually camp in the same location by a fresh water source, so looking for some sort of durable roll up bag i can use to transport water to camp from the stream ready for boiling, instead of taking 5l water bottles. Something like a camelback without the mouthpiece, although a tap would be great and anything from 5l onwards...

Cheers

I've been pleased with my Ortlieb water bags in various sizes. They're pretty tough and have a large opening.

Something like this, perhaps? Its a commercially available 10ltr roll-up in a canvas cover...

Not very robust and I take care not to puncture them, I get at least 10 outings (most trips are 3 days) from one:
http://www.poundland.co.uk/summer/camping-and-festivals/water-carrier-10-litre

I am now trying a Home Bargains (or Bargain Buys - can't remember which) collapsible concertina type 5 litre as I find that 5 litres per day is more than enough for cooking\washing etc. If I remember correctly they are around £1.50 and appear to be reasonably robust, but I have only used it once so far, so cheap that I buy 2 at a time, packs up small and weighs very little, this type:

Edit: Just found this, free postage: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-10L-L...RRIER-CONTAINER-STORAGE-AND-TAP-/271942255568

I might try Bilmo's suggestion, but only if the price is right relative to the number of thrift shop containers I can have for the same money , the extra cost for the durability factor would be well worth quite a bit extra though.

I guess Bilmo's type is much more durable (do you have a link to them Bilmo ?).

I'm also toying with using the innards of a wine box, given that I don't drink wine I am finding them impossible to come by.

That looks good Ian, I tried a google without success, can you tell me where you got that from.

Thank you,

iv been told to use the guts out of a wine box.. are they that durable or more of a use once and bin? what about the smell of wine?

I have used these for years

http://www.majorsurplus.com/Heavy-Duty-Swiss-Water-Bag-P15983.aspx

Advertised as almost indestructible - Even seen pictures of one full of water with a landrover's front left wheel parked on top of it

The link above is for illustration only - I know there are copies out there so be careful (not saying that the one in the link is real or not - as I have no idea)

I'm using an Ortlieb 5l bag and am very happy with it. Folds up easily into a 10cm billy can, leaving most of the space at the bottom free for other components.

Ortleib or MSR. My 10 ltr Ortleib has just started leaking after well over 10 years.

That is very much worth a look, I'm due a day store shopping for various bits and that will be on my list to evaluate, thanks for sharing.

I've got a few different big water bags. The Ortileb® ones good but for sheer volume and robustness the MSR Dromederry® ones a peach. Has kicked around canoes, 4X4's & camps for years and still looks like new. Has been used for pottable water, a pillow & a hot water bottle and I love it. Also have fittings to fill it directly from my water filter and the straps all 'round it means it can be strapped to bags & hung up with ease.

Sent via smoke-signal from a woodland in Scotland.

Funnily enough i'v just been given a "camp shower" 20ltr bag. (Using it as i type) i dont think they are more than about a fiver and it seems pretty robust, much better than the pound shop types anyways
