Water bottles, insulated flasks and water carriers. The range covers Thermos Stainless King vacuum flasks in 1.2 and 2 litre, TAS 1L and 2L flasks, Hi-Country 1000ml carry and sipper bottles including a double wall stainless, a Platatac rapid fill bottle, and Yowy Watercans in 3 and 6 litre.

  • Carrying water to the site

    Yowy Watercans come in 3 and 6 litre and stack in the vehicle, which is the practical way to bring water to a site with no tap. The 3 litre runs across six colours, which sounds trivial until four people are reaching into the same tub for their own.

  • Keeping it hot or cold

    A Thermos Stainless King in 1.2 or 2 litre is the vacuum insulated end of the range, and the TAS flasks in 1L and 2L do the same job in olive. Vacuum insulation is what holds a temperature for a day; a single wall bottle will not, no matter what it costs.

  • Bottles for carrying

    Hi-Country 1000ml wide mouth carry and sipper bottles, including a double wall stainless, plus the Platatac rapid fill for a pack. Wide mouth fills faster and takes ice; a sipper is easier to drink from while moving. It is a genuine trade, not a preference.

  • Water you are not sure about

    A filter bottle treats water as you drink it, which covers creek and tank water where you would rather not guess. Stock moves, so ring the store to check what filtering is on the floor. Worth keeping with the first aid gear rather than in with the camp kitchen, since it is a safety item.

Common questions

How much water should I carry per person per day?

Around three to four litres per person per day for drinking and cooking in warm Riverina conditions, and more if you are walking in heat. A 6 litre Watercan covers roughly one person for a weekend, which is why people take several rather than one big one.

What makes an insulated flask hold temperature?

A vacuum between two stainless walls, because a vacuum cannot conduct heat. That is what the Thermos Stainless King and the TAS flasks use. A single wall bottle, however thick, will track the outside temperature within hours.

Wide mouth or sipper bottle?

Wide mouth fills faster, takes ice and is far easier to clean properly. A sipper is easier to drink from while walking or driving without spilling. Hi-Country do both in 1000ml, so it comes down to whether you drink on the move.

Can I drink creek or tank water?

Not without filtering it. A filter bottle treats the water as you drink, which is the simple answer for water you are unsure about. Boiling works too but needs fuel and time, which is exactly what you do not have when you have run out.
