Water carrier (camping) options
June 14, 2014, 04:10:41 pm
Just been camping and bought one of these in haste from Go Outdoors.

http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/hi-gear-roll-up-water-carrier-10l-p287079

It was shite.. couldn't fill it properly without spraying water all over your legs . pissy dribble from the tap whilst getting arm pump holding the damn thing up.

Had one of these previously http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/fold-a-carrier-p152200

which was ok but have been through two in a short space of time as they seem to spring leaks pretty easily.

  I like ones that you can just stand on a surface so you have two hands spare, one to hold your kettle or what ever underneath and the other to operate the tap.  Hanging ones are OK but obv need something substantial to hang it off in the tent which isn't always available.  Also - fold flat/roll up is always an advantage when packing.

Any thoughts/recommendations.
