Poundland 10 litre water carrier.any good?

[greyman]

Has anyone used the pound land 10 litre water carrier?
Just wondering if they were worth having on standby,100 litres storage for a tenner doesn't seem bad.

I think they are the kind of things to hang on to just in case, but not to be relied upon 100%

Probably good to store in the bath in a SHTF situation where it won't be moved around.

Bought two of these a couple of weeks ago for a little up-coming camping trip, thought what could go wrong... and for a pound "you can't go wrong".

On first fill at the campsite water point (150 mtrs away from tent) the both looked like something out of a cartoon that had been shot multiple times.
At all of the points where there was a crease, there was a small hole.
I had to make comedy comments to other people as i walked the 150mtrs back to the tent.

Verdict..... CRAP - don't bother. In this case you get what you pay for.
Be warned

Personally I prefer a rigid container as it is easier to use a trolley to move it.

Personally I prefer a rigid container as it is easier to use a trolley to move it.

A flexible one is no doubt a temporary fix, no matter how much you pay with use, collapsing and refilling the creases will be where it fails, some the top won't even seal, but I'm with Ham here, rigid ones will last for ages.
