    Usually use a 1.5l coke bottle. It squashes as flat as is required and reinflates when filled. The current one has done about 5 hunts without a leak and weighs almost nothing and cost nothing.

    Same here
    I went and bought one of those roll flat water bottles but a coke/lemonade bottle does the same thing

    The water storage thing that I do like is the 10L water bladder for camp. It cost about $20 but I take it in empty, set up camp usually on a terrace above the river then fill the 10l cube at the river and haul it up to the camp. No constant refilling a litre at a time.

    Yep they are bloody useful when you are there for a while
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
