Hi All
Can anyone recommend a decent collapsable water carrier. 5-10 litres that doesnt fall apart!!
Have had 1 that handle ripped off and 1 that went on the corner that folded into itself.
Thank you
MSR dromedry bags weve had two 10ltr bags for 15 years and still going strong . We have two 2ltr ortlieb bags witch weve had for nearly 20 years still perfect . Both types arnt the cheepest but theyve been frozen dropped dragged up cliffs stapped to bicycles . used as pilllows and even sat on !
We ultimately went for a hard jerry can shaped 5ltr one from Highlander as found the same issues as you. We also explored the roll up type but they are a nightmare to fully dry out and therefore keep clean. The jerry can one fits nicely in our folding washing up bowl along with the washing up bits for transit and stops us keeping water in the heat for days on end with potential bacteria growth as it is a compact size. We now fill up with fresh water on a daily basis. We never fully compressed the old folding one to lengthen its life so the new one takes up no more space during transit.
------------- Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!
The collapsable ones don't last long, and it's a pain if they start leaking in your tent while on holiday We tried a roll-up one, which seems much more robust, but it takes two people to fill a kettle - one to hold the water carrier & the other one to hold the kettle and turn the tap! So we've been using a ten litre jerry can with tap for a few years now - easy to use & robust.
Some campers just buy a five litre bottle of water from the local supermarket & keep refilling it on site. A good idea if you're short of space in the car.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
