[Barney]

Hi all,

anyone got any good tips for a decent sized packable water carrier/container?

If you want something reusable you can buy collapsable canteens which hold a quart watever that is, if you don't want reusable-----no jokes------lubeless condoms' they hold loads!!

I got one of these a few months ago Barney

They`re great for a fixed camp with the 15L capacity but they will collapse down to about the size of a small pizza box. Handy if there`s a water supply near camp and you can carry it back, 15L of water ain`t light.
For backpacking distances I use a fabric ortleib carrier which I`ve had for donkeys years.

What about one of those waterproof rolltop bags. If they'll keep water out they should keep water in

''ortlieb'' do excellent fold-away water carriers, tough and good quality.

The MSR Dromedary Hydration Bags in 6 litre capacity are extremely good and have a lifetime warranty due to their strong construction. You'd only need to buy them once! (I bought 3, but all at once!)

I linked to reviews of these and posted it on SOTP, here it is, and the MSR site.

This guy tried to do a full on Destruction Test!

The 'best' I feel are the MSR Dromedary bags...

I've the 10 litre version and have had it for ages, dropped it of a cliff and it landed in a gorse bush, I've also driven over it in my Landy (it was almost empty at the time) and it's still holding up very very well...

It also fits all of the MSR water filters/purifiers and alot of other brands...

Oh, and you can get a shower head for it too, if you are that was inclined...

Fiver delivered, roll up carrier, been using mine since 2004, no problems, if you have cash to spare then spend £20, instead of £5

wood support rods each end so you can hang it, rolls up very small.

Got to agree here, as I have a couple of these too.

The wood support rods can also be used for water divining, which is really useful!

Okay, I made the last bit up, but it'd be good if they could! (o:

Go Outdoors have solar showers which hold 20l reduced to under £4 so you could be clean aswell as well watered.

Only just saw this, but what about the bag out of a wine box. holds a couple of litres water tight and great fun to empty
