I like these, combined with boiling the water, but they seem to be on a par with hen's teeth nowadays.
I propose to make myself one from the leg of an old pair of Rohan trousers. It looks as if the weave is fine enough, the fabric is very light and will roll up to nothing in the billy can. I intend to do an oversewn seam along the bottom and (I think) to hike it up so the water runs out the bottom straight through the fabric rather than through the seam. Of course, the bottom with be slanted so he water runs down towards the point as easier for making sure it all goes into the container.
Has anyone already done this? Would be glad of any tips
