Compact water bottles..

Post by Yorkshire Andy »

Stumbled across these today in Poundstretcher for 99p each they seemed worth a punt to stuff in a bug out bag as additional water storage in place of a condom in a sock should you come across a clean source of water, ive not filled them as i could see them been a pain to dry out and looking at the caps you can replace the bite sip valve with a standard pop bottle cap to save the risk of leakage look to hold about 500ml each

it even comes with a basic snap carabina to attach it to a bag but im not sure how robust the eyelet would be if it got some heavy use.....
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

I got some similar ones myself but are 10l bottles. I guess you don't have to fill the bottle up, just what you need. Useful items they are.

I keep a 500 ml aluminium bottle in the side pouch of my BOB.
Today I got through the post an 825 ml water bottle and pouch bought from Camo Outdoor which is a company in Ireland.
It's a great little water bottle and pouch but I had a pleasant surprise when I found a metal mug inside the pouch. Alice clips for belt suspension and a separate small water purification tablet pouch on the outside of the bottle pouch. Very good OD nylon construction of pouch with very substantial fastening press stud fasteners.
The company brand on the product is MiL-TEC which is a German company.
All-in-all not bad for £7. 50 ish including delivery from Amazon.
