View Full Version : Bag for billy
After using he billy over a fire it becomes very blackened and then I dont to out it my rucksack so some kind of bag to sotre it in would be good. Anyone no of such a bag?
How do you store your billy?
How about a lightweight cotton bag with a drawstring at the top ... easy to wash and won't melt because of any heat left in the metal. Easy to knock one up too.
If your not bothered about looks, cut the leg off an old pair of jeans, sew a tunel in one end to take a drawstring and sew the other end up completely.....Job done :-D

I use a couple of cheap tea towels sewn togetherand hemmed at the top to take a drawstring. Works well for me :-D

I got a small nylon stuff sack that I don't use for its intended purpose (pertex/pile shirt), into which fits my hobo stove, inside which is my zebra billy with rations inside. Gotta make sure its cool first though othewise would cause quite a nasty mess! Cotton would defo be preferable but I guess you make do with whats at hand :-?
Found an old cotton bag while clearing ot my apartment that and some paracord and that billy got a bag :-D
Got ot think about an old swedish gas mask bag that also would be great for billy. Many new ideas has popped into my head.

Same sort of question but for the Swedish Army Trianga? Anyone know of a ready-made bag or alternative for it (I can't be bothered making one)

Just stuff it in the wind shield, and you got a nice little package

I was thinking of getting a respirator pouch for mine - from memory I think it'll fit. While it is very neat stuffed in the wind shield, would be nice to have something to pack it in too
