Good Morning All,
I've been mulling over a particular problem which is how to easily fill a water bag from the billy can without spilling water everywhere.
I have a sea to summit bag tap type affair (Think MSR dromedary) and the orifice is about an inch and a half which combined with a 14cm Zebra billy can I can imagine spilling significant amounts of freshly purified water around. I have previously used a tap or funnel to fill the bag. One thing I want to avoid is carrying additional kit where it can be avoided.
With lightning speed I came up with a possible solution in just under an hour. One could take birch bark, scrub the inside smooth, rinse, and wrap it into a funnel with some cordage. This got me thinking would you be likely to sustain scalds if you held the funnel without a gloved hand, and what natural materials would be best used for a funnel for hot water?
