The moveable puddle

The thread to bison reminded me to post this. On recent trips I have been asked where I got my "moveable puddle" from. I don't know, it was a gift. However, here is a silnylon knock-off, looks identical and is probably lighter than the one I have. I love mine, weighs nothing at all and holds over a gallon of water in camp.

p.s. I should add that I have purchased a lot of gear from this person, she has some good stuff.

I have one that I got from Binks. That arrogant prick. How dare he bring it to the bar for me and give me a deal on it. The cheek of it all.

Damn that's pretty cool. I picked up the only one I could find at REI, it cost more and holds far less.

I had her tent, but didn't really like it too much. I guess that's where I draw the line if comes down to lightweight.

I just bought one at Campmor the other day. It'll be coming to the Smokies with me this weekend. :)

When I'll need to transport water to a dry camp I bring along a few plastic two-liter soda bottles. They weigh almost nothing when empty, are pretty easy to lash to a pack, and the original cost included soda of my choice.

top dawg, this isn't for porting water to a dry camp. I would use a few Platypus bladders for that (take up no room when empty unlike your soda bottles).

It is for moving a gallon of untreated spring water from the spring, to your camp. Then you can pump/treat from it, wash your pot/bowl using untreated water away from the spring (which you should always do) etc. Only one trip to the spring instead of many.
