Today I unveil a 0.8 ounce 10 Liter Collapsible Folding Water Bucket for backpacking trips. I wouldn't carry this on a thru hike but for local backpacking trips, I think it would work out. This reason why I bought this? If you have to get water from a water pump and use a C-NOC bag, the C-NOC must be held open with your fingers during collection. All the pumps I have used on trails have a very long pump arm that is heavy and hard to pump with one arm while your arms are stretched out holding the C-NOC bag under the pump nozzle. I'm thinking if this bag will hang on the pump nozzle, I could pump with both arms. If the bags slips off, I could use a rubber band on the nozzle to keep the bag from moving. The other issue is that this bag is not free standing. It does hold 10 L and my C-NOC is 2 L so I could only fill it 1/4 of the way and then I think I could figure out a way to hold the C-NOC open while pouring with the other hand. When I go on my next backpacking trip, I'll make a video on how it worked.
