water container for psk

[will62]

Here is one I have been playing with recently as a compact water bottle.

I work at a medical equipment company and recently had to get rid of some rebreather oxygen masks. This particular style has a fairly heavy plastic bag that will hold about 12 ounces.

It might be good for alternative to the condom in a psk as it is more durable. The ones I have been checking out are made by Salter Labs.

If you know some who works in hospital or durable medical equipment supplier ask them about getting you a couple. The added bonus is tha you can always use the tubing for something else.

Platypus and Nalgene both make some excellent collapsible canteens. The Nalgene even has a large mouth.

For the PSK I started using the the McCormiks "bag and season" oven baking bags. Already folded small, tough, and hold a lot.

I checked out John's water containers at Dirttime 2009 and they looked pretty sturdy. I've used various sizes of Platypus in the past.

if you have the room the platys in different sizes won't disappoint

most PSK are on the small side- the one quart ones in the link above are the ones I'm using, they are sturdy (not bombproof, but sturdy)- his Aqua- Pouch container is sturdier, but more volume- the quart ones will fit in all but the tiniest kits

I have a thread floating around on how to carry the quart ones (several good ideas in it)- the Aqua pouches have built in grommets

I'm a big fan of the Platypus bottles. They are very durable and roll up into a compact package. They can also stand up on their own when full; a lot of improvised containers can't do this. I've only ever had one fail in the many years I've used them, and it was one that I repeatedly half-filled and froze almost daily during one summer.


Stay sharp,
