Don’t let ‘em put you down BD!
I reckon you could add a tubeless valve to the tank doofer and use a mini pump to pressurise it, then hey-presto - you get your pot filled double quick.
Whilst you’re modding the thing up you could also get a wee heating element in there - say off of a travel kettle - and use it as a travelling samovar or shower.
:-bd
Excellent ideas there Ranger :-bd . Yeah c'mon Tim don't bottle it (*) now.

(*) bottle it, bottle it... geddit.. I've just twigged that! Er, well anyway....

On the upside, re piss, Tim's idea still, er, holds water (ho-ho) - once you've drunk that 4L of water, nature will [not so] gradually take its course. Plainly you now have an empty container, which means you could genuinely then leave no trace whatsoever on the way home.... thinking on't further, to assist with that alternative usage you could reverse the direction of the hose's function so that you wouldn't need to stop at all ...... I suppose this would mean a different attachment on the receiving/dispatch end of the hose... but surely we all carry a bit of gaffer tape wrapped round our pumps?

Dammit, Reg. It's a water carrying device, not a dialysis machine!

Good job you don't live in Thirsk or this could get even more confusing.

Actually, by some coincidence I heard the pubs there have a special discount offer one day a week - Thirsty Thirsk Thursdays.

Never mind Thursday, this is already turning out to be an "early Cheery Friday". As per usual in fact :wink:.

:shock: is that a euphamism, sir? :shock: :wink:
We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.
